SHAW PROPERTIES INC
TEQUESTA, FLORIDA

Shaw Properties Inc. is a distinguished builder and developer headquartered in Tequesta, Florida, with deep roots extending to the State of California. The company's historical journey began at the end of World War I when its founder, Donald Francis Shaw, joined the carpenter’s union as an apprentice. Throughout his career, Mr. Shaw contributed to a variety of state projects including the construction of the Ahwanee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, before establishing himself and later starting his own general contracting firm in Los Angeles in the 1930s. Throughout its development over decades, Shaw Properties transitioned through significant phases of growth and leadership change. During World War II, Mr. Shaw's son, Donald Wilder Shaw, served on a destroyer escort while his father was part of the Navy’s Construction Battalion (the Sea Bees). Following the war, they re-established their construction business in 1946 under Donald F. Shaw Construction, pioneering concrete tilt-up construction techniques for industrial and commercial projects. In the ensuing years, Shaw Properties expanded through its Southern California operations with notable ventures such as the development of the Californian Commerce Center in Ontario, CA, and the Pacific Commercentre in Lake Forest, CA. These achievements were complemented by strategic partnerships with prominent developers like Santa Fe Land and Improvement Company and Wells Fargo Realty Advisors. Shaw Properties Inc., incorporated under Florida state laws on October 25, 1963, operates from its office at 222 US Hwy One Suite 208 H, Tequesta FL 33469. Its core divisions consist of Shaw Industrial Building Services for development and consulting, alongside Shaw Asset Management focusing on property management, both maintaining adherence to the family legacy values of excellence and integrity. Today, under leadership comprising influential figures like Asta I Shaw as President, along with officers Linda S Gehring, Karen S Sowden, and others, the company continues its robust presence in Southern California's commercial real estate market.
