We’re more than developers, we’re partners in reimagining what Marion can be. Our team restores and revitalizes historic buildings, blending their original character with modern purpose. From residential lofts to local storefronts and office spaces, every project is designed to bring people together and spark new energy downtown. With the experience of business owners and the heart of community builders, we help others turn their visions into spaces that truly feel like home.
“It’s been a privilege to be a part of a team that works to have a direct impact on their community by strengthening, strategizing, and supporting tenants and projects downtown. Revitalizing historic buildings is a feat to be captured and celebrated in a historically significant town like Marion.”
“Being inspired by past generations of builders and entrepreneurs in her own family, Laura has developed a passion for all things real estate. It’s exciting to see the potential in the buildings and the revitalization of the downtown area be realized. I am honored to be a part of bringing the downtown Marion area back to life.”
At HDG, we’re more than property managers; we’re passionate partners in helping businesses and residents thrive in historic Marion and its surrounding communities.
With experience in retail, hospitality, and community development, we know what it takes to turn a vision into a place that works. Ready to see how we can help shape your next chapter?
Downtown Marion began a marked renaissance in 2018, when our group announced “Main Street Reimagined”, a project that kicked off with the purchase of 8 vacant or underutilized buildings and plans to position that one block of South Main Street as the center for downtown dining, shopping, entertainment, and events.
Since then, we have continued to buy, reimagine, renovate, and reposition buildings around Downtown Marion, and other business owners and small developers have joined in, creating incredible momentum! In fact, since 2018, over 50 buildings have changed hands, and more than 60 businesses have started or relocated to the downtown area.
