The Graham Companies is a privately held company founded in 1932 when Ernest "Cap" Graham acquired 7,000 acres to start a dairy business called Graham Dairy. Two generations later, the company is best known for the creation and development of Miami Lakes, a 3,000 acre master planned community, which began in the 1960's and still continues today. Today, The Graham Companies continues its family tradition of service, and remains dedicated to the ideals upon which it was first founded. From humble beginnings, The Graham Companies has become a diversified company, having interests in dairy, beef, and pecan orchard farming, as well as real estate developments encompassing apartment, office, industrial, retail, and hospitality holdings.
