GBX Group
GBX revitalizes historic buildings in urban communities to evolve and thrive in the 21st century. Our efforts help preserve history while modernizing structures to meet the needs of future generations.
Project Map
GBX Group LLC specializes in acquiring, preserving, and operating historic real estate in urban markets. The company partners with investors to fund the purchase and preservation of historic real estate with the goal of generating community revitalization and economic growth. As of January 2025, GBX has been involved in 211 real estate projects in 24 states.
Our Impact
Areas where we are active have seen an increase in jobs, property values, occupancy rates, and tax revenues, all while maintaining the cultural vibrancy of the surrounding communities. To validate the impact, GBX Group has engaged Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy to study the economic impacts of GBX’s historic preservation properties in urban markets throughout the U.S. The school is one of the nation’s key centers for the theory, practice, and research of these impacts.
