Commercial Properties Realty Trust (CPRT) is a nationally recognized real estate investment trust that specializes in leasing non-residential real estate, with a focus on developing and managing sustainable and community-oriented properties across the American Southeast. The company is headquartered at 100 North St, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802, US, and is led by Carolyn Martin, who brings more than two decades of real estate management and expertise to the firm.
One of CPRT's flagship developments is 5401 North, a master-planned community in Raleigh, North Carolina. Spanning over 400 acres, this community is designed on the principles of sustainability and community, and is home to the Purple Martin Community Farm, which grows hydroponic produce and sells to the surrounding community.
In downtown Baton Rouge, CPRT manages a nine-story office building that houses IBM, Raising Canes, and Fishman Haygood, as well as an eleven-story residential tower known as 525 Lafayette. The company also manages the newly redeveloped Onyx Residences, which features 27 apartments at the corner of Third and Convention Streets, and One Eleven apartments in the Liner Building of The Shaw Center.
CPRT's most recent project, in partnership with the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, is the development and management of the Water Campus, a 35-acre collaborative research campus dedicated to promoting an environment of shared resources and relationships focused on the study of water and critical issues regarding coastal protection and restoration.
Under Carolyn Martin's leadership, CPRT has evolved from its origins as a company focused on strip centers to a philanthropic organization that prides itself on the redevelopment of real estate properties with real purpose. The company has a new look and larger projects, but it remains committed to seeking out projects that make a difference and contribute to the overall vision and mission of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation and the philanthropic intentions of its founder, Wilbur Marvin.
