What Stiles Construction does

Stiles Corporation (operating as Stiles) is a privately held, family-owned full-service commercial real estate firm founded in 1951 by Howard K. Stiles in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company operates an integrated platform spanning nine service lines: Development, Construction (A-rated general contracting and construction management), Architecture (Stiles Architectural Group), Property Management, Leasing & Brokerage, Tenant Project Management, Acquisitions, Financial Services, and Renewables. Across its 75-year history, Stiles has delivered more than 43 million square feet of office, industrial, retail, and mixed-use residential projects throughout the southeastern United States, and currently manages approximately 25 million square feet of third-party commercial property.

The firm's revenue mechanics are project-driven and multi-stream: development fees and ownership stakes in real estate assets, general contracting and construction management fees, recurring managed-services revenue from third-party property and facility management, brokerage and leasing transaction fees, architectural design fees, and—newly from 2025—professional services tied to utility-scale renewable energy and battery energy storage system (BESS) development under the Stiles Renewables division. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting commercial developers, corporate tenants (e.g., Bank of America, Starbucks, UKG, Visa, Samsung, Lennar), automotive dealerships, and government entities (e.g., City of Sunrise), with regional offices in Fort Lauderdale (HQ), Charlotte (Carolinas HQ since 2012), Miami, Fort Myers, Tampa, and Orlando, and operations across Florida, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and—via renewables—the Southwest.

The business is led by third-generation CEO Ken Stiles alongside President Scott MacLaren and President of Stiles Construction Tim Moore, with no institutional or private-equity ownership identified. Strategic priorities are evidenced by recent moves including the 2025 launch of Stiles Renewables (anchored by a 100MW/400MWh Tesla BESS project in Nevada), delivery of the 700,000 SF Peabody Union mixed-use development in Nashville, and active joint ventures with McHugh, BBX Capital Real Estate, Hooper Construction, Pirtle Construction, and Guggenheim Real Estate to scale project delivery and co-investment capacity.
