Since graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1975, Gary Garland has passionately pursued the skills and sought the wisdom to meet the real estate needs of his clients. As a result, this has produced an outstanding track record which includes positions of leadership at each step of his career as well as Multi-Million $ales since 1978. Leadership roles include: Sales Manager for Ken Garland Co. Realtors, Founder & Exec. V.P. of Crye-Leike Commercial Division in 1983, Founder & President of RFS Realty Corporation in 1988, and Founder & CEO of Garland Company Real Estate since 1993. Garland Company Real Estate is headquartered in the heart of the commercial district of the world famous Harbor Town Community on the banks of the Mississippi in Downtown Memphis.
In 1998, Gary began focusing on the real estate development and renaissance of Downtown Memphis. In partnership with Steve Bryan, Jack Belz, and Henry Turley, he helped develop and brokered the sale of Harbor Town Square Apartments and Island Park Apartments on Mud Island. In 1999, he developed Harbor Town’s first mixed-use building, Harbor Town Centre, which today is one of Downtown’s first-class examples of the “Live, Work, Play” lifestyle. In 2002, he won Downtown’s “Historic Preservation Award” for the Hotline Lofts at 421 South Main. Hotline was a vintage 1912 heavy timber warehouse renovated into Main Street level retail and converted into 15 loft apartments, which recently sold out as Hotline Loft Condominiums. His most recent development effort has been the new (nearly completed) 16-story riverfront residential high-rise known as The Horizon at 717 Riverside Drive. Serving as Horizon Development Manager, Gary was responsible for its 50% pre-sale status, prior to construction in 2007.
