Highwoods Properties, Inc.
A real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, develops, and manages office buildings in fast-growing Sun Belt cities like Atlanta, Raleigh, Nashville, and Tampa. Founded in 1978 in Raleigh, North Carolina, by Ronald Gibson and H. Pope Shuford, it went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1994. The name "Highwoods" comes from its early suburban office parks, which were often built on elevated, wooded land typical of the North Carolina landscape.
