About Legacy

At Legacy Real Estate Development, LLC, we are not just a company; we are the result of the unwavering commitment of the Peebles family to leave an enduring mark on the real estate world. Born from this legacy, our CEO, Donahue Peebles III, honed his vision while studying at Columbia University. Witnessing the disastrous consequences of a major housing crisis across the United States, he realized the urgent need for transformative solutions. Now, with a commitment to easing the nations surging demand for affordable housing, Donahue and our team bring together creativity and financial resourcefulness to build not just structures, but thriving communities that stand as a testament to our enduring dedication.
