Building Long-Term Value Through Real Estate, Hospitality, and Downtown Redevelopment
The Sonderman Group is a real estate development and investment platform acquiring, redeveloping, and operating high-quality commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use assets in high-potential small and mid-sized markets — starting in downtown Jacksonville, Alabama.
An emerging real estate platform built for the long term.
We are a design-driven, execution-focused real estate development firm. We identify overlooked buildings and underused blocks in growing communities, invest in high-quality redevelopment, and hold what we build — creating commercial real estate that strengthens downtowns and compounds value for decades, not quarters.
Develop & Redevelop
We acquire commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use properties and lead them through ambitious, design-forward redevelopment — including historic downtown redevelopment and adaptive reuse.
Lease & Operate
We curate the tenant mix, branding, and parking strategy across our portfolio, giving retailers, restaurateurs, and operators a home in well-positioned, actively managed locations.
Invest & Hold
We partner with aligned investors to fund redevelopment, stabilize assets, and hold them for the long term — building durable income and a lasting real estate platform.
A portfolio of completed, active, and future development.
From a fully renovated entertainment venue to a full-block downtown redevelopment, each project reflects a commitment to quality, place, and long-term ownership.
Open to qualified investors.
Two opportunities are currently open for investment: The District — our downtown square assemblage — and Pecan Square, a cottage-court student housing community near Jacksonville State University designed by Allison Ramsey Architects.
Three ways to be part of the platform.
Lease a Space
Retail, restaurant, office, and flex space available across our portfolio — including curated retail space for lease in Jacksonville, AL.
