Ron Schwabe - Ron@peachprops.com

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Ron Schwabe graduated from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Mr. Schwabe remained in Tucson, and formed a real estate company that would become the predecessor to Peach Properties HM Inc., specializing in the development of residential and commercial properties.

During the 1980’s Mr. Schwabe’s company directly developed more than 5,000 attached residential units throughout Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Oregon. The residential development included the full range of rental types: Market rate, affordable, senior, and student. Also in the 1980’s, Mr. Schwabe developed more than 300,000 square feet of commercial space, primarily in Arizona. Mr. Schwabe’s role in the development of all residential and commercial properties has included direction of design, budget, construction, marketing, and the setup and establishment of operations.

Responding to the real estate needs of the 1990’s, Mr. Schwabe and his company focused on property management. With a starting foothold of fewer than 1,000 residential units, Peach Properties grew its third party property management portfolio to more than 6,000 residential units by the end of the decade.

In this same time frame, Mr. Schwabe planted the seeds for the revitalization of some of Tucson’s most vibrant new commercial and residential districts. In 2000, Peach Properties sold its non-Arizona management accounts to Tokyo’s largest property management company, HouseMate Kanari. Throughout the 2000’s, Peach has sharpened its expertise of development and management of residential and commercial properties, specifically in Tucson’s Downtown, Warehouse, and University districts.

Mr. Schwabe has become an authority on downtown revitalization and development in Tucson. He is actively involved in numerous organizations promoting the growth and development of Tucson’s downtown areas. Mr. Schwabe is a board member of the newly formed Tucson Partnership.
