About P.B. Bell
P.B. Bell was founded in 1975 when principal and CEO Philip Bell saw the opportunity to take a wealth of knowledge and experience gained within the fields of accounting and housing development to the state of Arizona. First arriving in Arizona in 1974 as a developer for Ramada Inns, Philip believed that there was a tangible demand to provide a breadth of different real estate services under one umbrella.
Initially P.B. Bell's primary function was property management. As builders and investors became more astute to the necessity of handling day to day operations in a streamlined and profitable manner as well as the need to validate potential acquisition as strong investments, Philip began to grow the foundation for the company's existence. Starting the business in a one room suite with nothing but a phone line and a vision, P.B. Bell quickly made an impact in the Arizona multi housing market. As revenues increased and opportunities became more prevalent, management and acquisitions became the launch pad for P.B. Bell's first development project completed in 1979.
Over the years P.B. Bell has been able to weather several economic downturns within the real estate industry by calling on the considerable talents of one of the longest tenured management teams in the industry. In 1995, new development for P.B. Bell had become so prevalent that a subsidiary company, MT Builders came into existence and remains a prominent entity in construction within the multifamily, retail, churches, schools and other commercial project sectors. As evidenced in P.B. Bell's expansion into the Tucson multifamily market and commercial management in 1998 and 2005 respectively, it became clear that a record of satisfied clients was the key component in the company's continual growth through referrals and existing clients. Today P.B. Bell is the premier locally owned and operated real estate management and development institution in Arizona.
