37th Parallel Properties
Ahead of the Curve Since 2008
The 37th Parallel is more than just a line of latitude – it is a reflection of our strategic vision and intentional focus in the South and Southeast. Recognizing the region’s tailwinds for growth in 2008, we’ve built our firm on the belief it will continue to experience outsized gains.
Some refer to this region as the Southern Smile because it encompasses the regions of the country known for their warmth, growth, and economic vitality. At 37th Parallel Properties, we don’t just invest in properties; we invest in the promise of growth and prosperity that stretches across the South and Southeast.
