Lake Homes Realty and RealSource Title Insurance and Real Estate Closing plan to expand, adding 400 new jobs over the next five years and moving to new corporate headquarters in Meadowbrook in Hoover.
Lakes Homes Realty serves 33 states and is the nation’s largest lake real estate brokerage. RealSource operates in 12 states. Both have been located in Hoover for four years.
Glenn S. Phillips is CEO of Lake Homes Realty. Doris Phillips is COO of Lake Homes Realty and president of RealSource LLC.
“We toured a wide variety of office space available in Jefferson and Shelby counties and were very impressed,” Glenn Phillips said. “500 Corporate Parkway met our current business needs while having plenty of room for future growth. In addition to the building’s layout and amenities, 500 Corporate Parkway offers great visibility from Highway 280 to help with our branding.”
The companies signed a 10-year lease for 500 Corporate Parkway, which is owned by SBD Partners and managed by Colliers International.
Alabama-based Williams Blackstock Architects will design the new corporate offices, and renovations and relocation will include $1 million in new capital investment.
“I am very pleased Lake Homes Realty and RealSource will remain and grow in Hoover,” said Mayor Frank Brocato. “This project is another example of growth in Hoover’s STEM-based industries. We are seeing announcements each year of such growth in our city, and I am glad to start 2022 off with such a strong announcement. I also am pleased that this public/private partnership will assist Hoover entrepreneurs to further grow and contribute to the city’s economy.”
