Founded in 1972, The Broadbent Company is a privately held commercial real estate firm headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Originally established as The Skinner & Broadbent Company, the firm transitioned to its current name following the retirement of co-founder Robert Skinner. Under the leadership of George Broadbent, the company expanded its services to include leasing, property management, acquisitions, brokerage, and tenant representation. The Broadbent Company specializes in the development and management of shopping centers located in high-density commercial corridors across Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan. Its portfolio includes retail centers adjacent to major regional malls, offering tenants exposure to high foot traffic. The firm’s investment strategy centers on long-term ownership and active management of retail assets, with a focus on site selection and tenant mix optimization. While its historical portfolio included self-storage assets, that segment was divested in 2011. The company’s asset class focus is predominantly retail, with properties ranging from neighborhood centers to large-format shopping complexes. Broadbent’s geographic concentration is strongest in Indiana, particularly in the Indianapolis metro area, which includes Castleton, Clearwater, and Greenwood. Louisville, Kentucky and Grand Rapids, Michigan represent additional strategic markets. This regional concentration presents exposure risk, particularly in Central Indiana where a significant portion of the portfolio is located.
