Welcome to Pedcor Companies’ first blog! We want to start by sharing a high-level overview of who we are and what we do!

1. Company Established

Our founders, Gerald “Jerry” Pedigo and Bruce Cordingley created Pedcor Companies in October 1987. Did you catch that? Pedcor’s name was created by combining their two last names! Within just a few short years of opening up shop, Phillip Stoffregen joined the company in 1992 as part of the principal team. Our principals’ main vision is to create and cultivate inclusive, affordable apartment communities across the nation.  

2. Pedcor’s Corporate Campus

The Carmel City Center is approximately 1.0 million square feet of residential and commercial space. There are eight active residential buildings with two future development. Other Carmel midtown developments include Carmel Old Town Shops and Indiana Design Center which holds a variety of unique, home-design-oriented businesses and artists.
