OUR MISSION

To invest with integrity...

Since our founding in 2006, we have gained invaluable experience across a range of industries, including real estate development, sports and recreation, and fintech. Our approach is guided by the principles of our founding partner Brian Shanahan, who often asked, “Does this make sense and cents?”  This simple yet powerful philosophy continues to honor his legacy and shape our investments, ensuring they create lasting, positive impact in the communities where we invest.

PCG is a close-knit team united by a shared commitment to impactful projects that foster community growth and enhance the quality of life in our region. Whether we are supporting small businesses, creating spaces for connection, or championing innovative ideas, we prioritize developments that improve the region.

We are focused on building our region through thoughtful land and real estate development and supporting the vital economic impact of small businesses thriving in our community.

At the core of everything we do is a commitment to doing things right—every step of the way.
