ABOUT BENDERSON

Company Founder Nathan Benderson got his start at age 16 buying and selling bottles from breweries. In 1949, he purchased and later redeveloped a brewery in Buffalo, New York, marking the first of many of his successful real estate ventures and the beginning of Benderson Development.
Today, we celebrate nearly eight decades of growth and achievement in our industry. Under the leadership of three generations of the Benderson family, the company has grown to become one of the largest privately owned real estate development companies in the United States.
From the first property in Buffalo, our portfolio has grown nationally to include over 1,000 properties totaling more than 55 million square feet in 40 states. We own a diverse collection of properties, including market-dominant and specialty centers, grocery-anchored centers, warehouse/industrial, offices and award-winning hotels.
We are known for our long-term vision and ownership, thoughtful planning, expert leasing, award-winning property management and our ability to transform underperforming properties — what we call “Bendersizing”— into high-performing assets. Our greatest strength lies in our in-house expertise, with skilled professionals handling every aspect of the real estate process.
Our business goes beyond real estate development; it’s about being a good neighbor and giving back. We are dedicated to supporting programs and initiatives that directly enhance the health and well-being of the communities we serve, helping them thrive for years to come.
With offices in four locations and properties around the country, Benderson offers endless opportunities. Join us and work alongside the industry’s brightest and best.
