What Richard Bowers & Co. does

Richard Bowers & Co. is a privately held, Atlanta-based commercial real estate brokerage and advisory firm founded in 1980, operating from a single headquarters at 260 Peachtree Street, Suite 2400 in downtown Atlanta. The firm engages in the leasing and sale of office, industrial, retail, land, and investment property across the Atlanta metropolitan area, serving tenants, landlords, buyers, sellers, developers, and investors in those submarkets. Its service model is delivered through a network of senior broker agents — including named Senior Vice Presidents such as Ash Parker, Greg Kindred, Chet Lacy, Randy Hoye, Dave Morgan, and Barry Conway — rather than through any proprietary technology platform.

The company's core offering has been positioned as a "full-service, single-source solution" that extends beyond brokerage into property and facility management, design and relocation services, development and construction management, and financial services, supplemented by affiliate companies intended to address emerging and global commercial real estate requirements. Richard Bowers & Co. also operates recurring thought-leadership publications — The Bowers Digest and The Market Report — and distributes property listings through its website and standard social, email, and search channels.

Revenue is generated on a commission basis as a percentage of transaction value, with pricing not publicly disclosed; listed assets range from roughly $75,000 land parcels to multi-million-dollar development sites, and lease rates cited in listings fall in the $20–$30/SF plus NNN range. The firm is family-owned and operated with no disclosed external institutional investment, no parent company, and no funding or M&A activity in the input record; no revenue figures, awards, certifications, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
