George P. Broadbent, President

Furthering his successful career as a commercial real estate broker, in 1972, George P. Broadbent co-founded The Skinner & Broadbent Company with Robert N. Skinner. The two partners shared in the management of their new enterprise, with George Broadbent handling development, leasing and financing, and Bob Skinner overseeing construction. Upon Mr. Skinner's retirement in 1987, the company was reorganized and six executive vice president positions were designated. Since then, under Broadbent's guidance the company's growth and expansion has included fee management, brokerage, and tenant representation, general construction/contracting and new business development.

Broadbent's goal is to continue expanding the company through shopping center development, expansion of construction services, and development of self-storage facilities.
