Chicago-based Jupiter Realty Company was incorporated as a privately held, vertically integrated development, investment and management firm in 1985, but the Jupiter enterprise has been adding value to real estate since 1960. Jupiter acquires, develops, finances, renovates, repositions, manages and eventually sells mid-rise and high-rise office buildings, office parks, hotels, apartments, residential communities, regional or neighborhood shopping centers, free-standing retail stores, industrial buildings, mixed-use properties and land in response to the ebb and flow of demand and market cycles. Over the last 10 years, Jupiter has focused its efforts on multi-family and hotel development.
