100 YEARS OF BUILDING FOR GENERATIONS

Miller Diversified In Business 100 Years

It all started with five brothers and a farm.

From there, we grew to become one of the most highly-respected real estate development firms in the area. We’ve diversified, growing into a company that offers commercial property services including commercial construction services, commercial real estate brokerage, property management, development, an investment fund, and more… and we’ll continue to build for the generations to come.

A 100 YEAR OLD COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY:

Our History

Miller Diversified was once a greenhouse, but pivoted across the years to become a commercial real estate and construction company.
1920s:

Miller Farm & Greenhouse Incorporates

Henry Miller and his five sons Henry, Louie, Charlie, Frank, and Herman, had been operating a greenhouse for about a decade. Miller Farm & Greenhouse, the company that would eventually be renamed Miller Diversified, was incorporated in 1920.

Four of the Miller Brothers are shown at Miller Farm & Greenhouse in Northwest Ohio sometime after the greenhouse was founded in 1920.
1920s & 1930s:

Weathering The Great Depression

During this era, the company managed to survive the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world. Many of the brothers retired during this time, leaving the company in the charge of the youngest of the brothers, Herman.

The founders of Miller Farm & Greenhouse were farmers, but today, in our third generation of ownership, we are commercial real estate and construction company.
1943:

A 19-Year Old At The Helm

Herman became gravely ill and was unable to continue managing the greenhouse. His son Norman Miller was graduating high school around this time and Norm began managing the company’s affairs in his father’s stead alongside his cousin.

OUR STORY OF

BUILDING FOR GENERATIONS

Our century-long journey as a business holds immense significance. Our age alone is proof of our ability to adapt to evolving market trends, embrace technological advancements, and consistently deliver value to our clients… but beyond this lies something deeper. Our company is rooted in a mission and core values 100+ years in the making. We have stood the test of time because we work hard, and we do everything we can to make sure the commercial property services we offer to our clients and customers are meaningful. To celebrate 100 years, we created a video of our story that shows where this mindset comes from. We are standing on the shoulders of the people that came before us, and for this, we will always be grateful.

Miller Diversified's mission is to build value and enrich lives across generations.
HOW WE CELEBRATED 100 Years:

100 ACTS OF KINDNESS

Giving back is a passion of ours, and an important part of our family value system. In 2020 for our 100 year anniversary, we committed ourselves to performing 100 acts of kindness. Our entire organization was involved as we gave back to the community that we have been a part of for a century. It was a great way to celebrate a century in business… but just because we are done celebrating our anniversary doesn’t mean we’re done volunteering. In fact, we are always seeking opportunities to give our time and support to people who need it. Want to learn more about engaging with volunteers from Miller Diversified?
