The Foundation of
RKM Development
For more than four decades, RKM Development has built its reputation one relationship at a time.
Founded in St. Petersburg, Florida, RKM Development has grown into a trusted commercial real estate developer by staying focused on what matters most, building lasting relationships, delivering quality developments, and creating long-term value for the tenants and partners we serve.
While markets have changed and opportunities have evolved, our approach has remained the same: stay lean, stay attentive, and remain personally invested in every project from concept to completion.
For More Than 40 Years of Building Trust
RKM Development was founded in 1985 with a vision that was simple: build a development company that prioritized relationships over volume and quality over quantity. As the company grew, so did its reputation for delivering thoughtful retail developments while maintaining the personalized service often lost at larger firms.
Over the years, RKM has developed shopping centers, build-to-suit projects, and commercial properties for nationally recognized retailers throughout Florida and the Southeast. While our portfolio continues to grow, we’ve never lost sight of what got us here, earning trust through consistency, accountability, and doing right by every client.
Experienced Leadership. Personal Commitment.

Every Relationship Matters
We intentionally remain a focused, relationship-driven company. Instead of pursuing dozens of projects at once, we stay actively involved throughout every stage of development, ensuring our clients receive the attention, communication, and commitment they deserve.
From land acquisition and entitlements to construction management and long-term ownership, every decision is guided by one question: Is this the best outcome for our client and the project?
