The Martin Group of Companies started in January 1977 when John and Steve Martin (Father & Son) decided to build apartments together. John had just built a 30 unit senior citizen property in Huntingburg, IN and Steve was working Advertising & Public Relations at Jasper Engines & Transmissions in Jasper, IN. John, a practicing Public Accountant, liked the first property he had built and wanted to do more but his accounting practice wouldn’t permit it. Steve, a recent graduate of the University of Evansville, at the time was young and inexperienced but full of energy. They decided to try working together for a year and see what happened. Now over (36) thirty six years later, they decided it will probably work out pretty well. John sold his accounting practice and the two of them have established a real estate practice together. John’s son, David, was also involved for 18 years until Duke Healthcare Real Estate hired him to use his experience developing medical office buildings throughout the Midwest. Now, The Martin Group has started the third generation with Steve’s sons, Alex and Andy joining the family business.
