About The Ruthvens

The Ruthvens is a real estate operator headquartered in Lakeland, FL. The Ruthvens operates in Lakeland-Winter Haven, Florida. Its investment focus is on Covered Land & Land Banking, Industrial and Logistics.

The Ruthvens traces its origin to 1957, when Joe P. Ruthven built a warehouse to house his tire inventory and leased out the surplus space, marking the beginning of the firm’s real estate operations. Over more than 60 years, The Ruthvens has grown into a family-run real estate development and leasing company focused on industrial and warehouse properties in Central Florida. They now own and manage over 90 buildings, representing a total of 4.5 million square feet of warehouse space. The firm’s core business is industrial and distribution warehouse real estate—covering speculative “shell” warehouses, build-to-suit manufacturing, processing, and logistics facilities, and commercial leasing. Their properties lie along Florida’s I-4 corridor, providing distribution reach across the region.
