Arnold Peck - The Real Estate Man of the decade in Southern New England

At an early age, Arnold Peck started his uphill climb in renovating an old house in Milford, Connecticut. He then went on to specialize in the rehabilitation of beach cottages on the Milford shoreline.

Arnold continued to rehab small buildings and sell residential properties as a licensed agent.

In 1967, he founded his own company, Arnold Peck Realty.

He trained his employees to feel as if they were running their own business. He set the pace for his staff to be decisive and encouraged them to be inventive and creative.

As one leading bank so stated... "His leader-ship and company growth in the past ten years has been truly outstanding" Thus, establishing Arnold Peck as the Real Estate Man of the decade in Southern New England.

Arnold is now on the hunt to repurpose old buildings into something new with more use.

Not only are these buildings going to be transformed, but this second life is going to be drastically different in purpose from the first.

Arnold talks about factories being converted into offices, warehouses into shopping markets, outdated

schools into rehab facilities, and much more.

Adaptive reuse allows Arnold to take a second look at old spaces, especially those that are abandoned or located along struggling, industrial waterfronts. It can also be a key way to preserve historic spaces and reduce urban sprawl; why build a new office space or hotel in the suburbs when you could breathe new life into an old structure?
