Neighborhood Commercial Real Estate Investments

In 2012, Chesapeake Capital diversified into commercial real estate development. This strategic decision was made primarily to provide neighborhood retail services to the homeowners in mixed use developments which we have Master Planned. Prior to 2012, we had always sold off these properties to other commercial developers. However, developing these commercial properties, both for our own account and in conjunction with our Investors, has allowed Chesapeake Capital to retain the significant value created in the development of these properties, which continues to be enhanced by our ongoing residential development activities. Furthermore, owning and operating these commercial properties allows us to control the nature and quality of services being provided to our homeowners.

Chesapeake Capital currently owns and operates commercial properties in the Charleston and Greenville, SC markets and controls a significant amount of vacant commercially zoned property in both markets. We are focused on food service, medical uses, and neighborhood retail and other services.
