After being born and raised in Columbus, GA, developer Clair Pease was drawn to the construction industry at a very young age. Her interest in this fast paced industry and her motivation to excel has shaped her experiences in the construction business for over 25 years.
In 1972 her career began with a painting business that focused on new construction and commercial developments. Looking for a broader challenge she moved to Charlotte, NC in 1975 and became the assistant superintendent of the building of the Guest Quarters Hotel. In 1977 she became the superintendent of L.C. Tyson Construction where her responsibilities grew to average over $650,000 per job.
In 1980 she decided to establish her own construction business and hence Faulk Construction was born. During this time single family homes were built in Master Planned communities along with the company being awarded several Federal government contracts to remodel government owned housing. She built the first all women Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, NC and was subsequently invited to Washington D.C. by President Jimmy Carter to build 20 houses in 5 days.
In 1997 the growing Gulf Coast brought her to Panama City Beach, FL where she founded Pease & Associates, Inc. After establishing herself as a key figure in the Gulf Coast she took on her biggest project to date in 2004, Grand Panama Beach Resort. As a founding partner of this 999 unit lifestyle community, Ms. Pease and her partners are constructing a new way of condominium life on Panama City Beach. The resort offers two 22-story towers on the beach and two courtyard buildings. It also offers over 50,000 square feet of retail shopping that will include Bonefish Grill, several clothing retailers, as well as a jewelry store, and deli style restaurants. The retail is slated to open in the summer of 2006 while the resort will open in summer of 2007.
Along with Grand Panama, Ms. Pease is developing Hidden Lagoon Villas, a 39 home subdivision located in Panama City Beach, FL. Each home depicts her vision of a unique coastal community that is great for families and investors alike. In the spring of 2005 her son, Joshua Faulk, joined the family business and is currently the Vice President of Development for Pease & Associates, Inc.
Parallel with her passion for construction and development, Clair Pease is also the Fund Development Chairman for the Children's Home Society of Florida, Emerald Coast Division. It is the oldest, largest, and most respected statewide private provider of social services for children and families in the state of Florida. CHS is a non-profit organization that touches more than 100,000 children and families in Florida each year. Ms. Pease, along with her son Josh Faulk, has just completed re-modeling construction on a children's group home in Callaway, FL. Along with this she is currently working as the sponsorship chair for the CHS annual benefit, Compassionate Chefs for Kids.
