The Story of HG Hill Company: Family-Owned for Four Generations

In 1896, as Mr. H.G. Hill, Sr. began to experience success in his grocery operations, he decided that, as his financial situation would allow, he would purchase the properties upon which his stores stood. Due to Mr. Hill’s tireless efforts, the grocery business prospered, and his real estate holdings increased. While he was on the Board of Directors of the old Nashville Bank & Trust Company, he had the opportunity to inspect, and in many cases, purchase properties that were in foreclosure or distress.

In 1926, Mr. H.G. Hill, Sr. incorporated the H.G. Hill Realty Company. After the Realty Company’s organization, Mr. Hill placed most of the property he had acquired over the years into the Realty Company. When Mr. H.G. Hill, Jr. took the helm of the Hill Companies in 1942, he continued the tradition of acquiring and developing property during his 51 years as president. It was during Mr. Hill, Jr.’s tenure that the idea of neighborhood shopping centers became popular, and the H.G. Hill Realty Company began to develop a number of strip centers in the Nashville suburbs. Since 1993 the H.G. Hill Realty Company has seen many changes take place, such as the development of unutilized or under-utilized properties, and a dramatic increase in its asset performance. Their employees manage one of the largest privately held real estate portfolios in the Southeast.
