Cousins Properties is a publicly traded office-focused real estate investment trust listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CUZ. Founded in 1958 and headquartered in Atlanta, the company operates as a fully integrated, self-administered REIT and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, Cousins Properties LP. Over its multi-decade history, Cousins has evolved from a diversified real estate operator into a concentrated owner of Class A “lifestyle office” assets in high-growth Sun Belt markets.
The company’s core business strategy centers on owning and operating high-quality, amenity-rich office towers in urban submarkets that benefit from population and employment growth, corporate relocations, and limited new supply. Cousins emphasizes disciplined capital allocation through opportunistic acquisitions, selective development, and the disposition of non-core or lower-growth assets. This strategy is designed to maintain a portfolio of relatively newer properties with lower long-term capital expenditure requirements and strong tenant demand.
