The Grossman Companies, Inc.
The Grossman family has deep New England roots. Family patriarch Louis Grossman emigrated from Podeski, Russia, to Massachusetts in 1890. He then started a salvage business that later became Grossman Lumber, for many years the largest distributor of lumber and building materials in the Eastern United States.
Grossman Lumber had 87 retail branches at its peak. After selling the operating business in 1969, the family retained and has since opportunistically redeveloped or sold the real estate. In 1980 Morton Grossman, the grandson of the patriarch, and Louis, Morton’s son, amicably bought out the other 83 family stockholders and launched The Grossman Companies.
Today, Louis J. Grossman is chairman of The Grossman Companies, Inc. and sons, David and Jake (the fifth generation of Grossmans in the business) are Co-Presidents. We own a roughly 2.5 million square foot portfolio spanning all major property types and make private loans to builders, developers and real estate investors through our affiliate, First Boston Capital Partners.
