ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY
The Gardner family has made their mark on residential and commercial real estate development throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania for two generations and over 50 years. This family tradition of excellence began in the mid-60s when Lawrence W. Gardner left a promising career on Wall Street to pursue his passion for development and rising opportunities in New Jersey real estate. Lawrence founded Larken Associates in 1965 and remains Chairman of the Board. Carrying on the family tradition is Lawrence’s son David, who joined the company in the early 1980s and is the President and Chief Executive Officer. Today, Larken is dedicated to bringing great spaces to live and work to life throughout NJ, NY & PA.
