Orkin and Associates

What Orkin and Associates does

Orkin & Associates is a privately held, fourth-generation family-owned real estate investment and asset management company founded in 1964 by William B. Orkin following the sale of the original Orkin Pest Control business to Rollins Inc. The company is headquartered in Milton, Georgia and operates exclusively within the Atlanta metropolitan area, where it owns, leases, and manages a portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers, mixed-use developments, and a planned traditional neighborhood development (Deerfield Township). Headline assets include Crabapple Market (a chef-driven mixed-use center in downtown Milton), Deerfield Place (over 400,000 square feet anchored by Super Target, Kohl's, and Petco), Sandy Plains Marketplace, Stonewood Village, The Silos at North Farm Marketplace, Publix at Perimeter, and Weatherstone Promenade, together representing several hundred thousand to over a million square feet of leasable retail.

The business makes money primarily through recurring rental income on these owned shopping centers and mixed-use developments, supplemented by asset management and development services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; leasing occurs via an in-house leasing team augmented by external broker partnerships such as Ackerman & Co. for specific assets and by third-party listing platforms such as Skyline Seven. The tenant base is a mix of national and regional anchors (Publix, Walgreens, Aldi, Target, Planet Fitness) and local/regional retailers, restaurants, fitness operators, and professional services firms (GOLFTEC, GreenWise Market, Nettuno Group, Jamison Private Wealth Management, Suvidha International Market). The operating team numbers roughly 10–11 named individuals across CEO, CFO, VP of Real Estate Investments, property management, accounting, marketing, and facilities functions.

The business is sales-led and direct relationship-driven: leases are negotiated through in-house coordinators and external brokers, with marketing executed primarily through the corporate website, property-specific sites (e.g., crabapplemarketga.com), and earned media coverage of new tenant openings. There is no proprietary technology platform underlying the business; the company uses standard third-party listing and brokerage infrastructure. The firm is closely held by the Orkin family, has no disclosed external investors or institutional funding, and operates an affiliated subsidiary, Devin Properties, founded by CEO Adam Orkin, plus the William B. Orkin Foundation charitable vehicle.
