Steve Anderson
Owner and Developer
While Steve is currently known for leading the creation of major office buildings all over Wilmington, his entrepreneurial journey began about 40 years ago while selling clothing.
He began his first development project in 1999 and has never looked back. His initial endeavor prompted him to turn more toward development and redevelopment. And a few years later, he filled the first of many ‘Offices at Mayfaire’ with excited tenants. Steve has always been a passionate salesperson, whether it be clothing or office buildings, and his developments and passion have greatly impacted the Wilmington community.
Operating under the leadership of Anderson, SAMM Properties Inc., has developed multiple marquis properties in high-traffic locations throughout Wilmington, NC exceeding 500,000 square feet in total.
Parker Anderson
Developer
In 2017, Parker Anderson followed in his father Steve’s footsteps and joined the SAMM Properties team. Parker’s primary responsibilities include overseeing day-to-day operations and project management.
He attended The University of North Carolina at Wilmington, where he graduated with a B.A. in Communication Studies. His time at UNCW and focus on communications paved the way for his future in commercial development, project management, and interaction with clients.
Parker works hard to successfully develop highly effective projects that guarantee project goals and customer satisfaction. His knowledge and experience bring stability to scheduling, budgeting, negotiations, and other project management services.
The SAMM Properties Difference
“Working with SAMM Properties was so easy. They anticipated what I needed before I even thought of it. I never had to ask any questions about the process. Everything was explained in detail all along the way. I would recommend them to anyone looking to lease or purchase space for their business.”
“After renting my office space for 20 years we purchased our medical office space from SAMM Properties four years ago. Best business decision I've ever made! SAMM is easy to work with and they over deliver. I highly recommend them.”
“Steve Anderson is a quality person, who builds a quality product, and makes the entire process a quality experience. He knows what owners want and need in a commercial property. I have purchased two units in Howe Creek Landing and have been delighted.”
“We worked with Steve Anderson on the lease of our office space in Mayfaire. We were thrilled with the final outcome and look, all beyond our expectation. What we appreciate most was his communication, attention to detail, and delivery of expected results and then some within the expected time frame.”
“My wife and I were leasing space for our retail store here in Wilmington and Steve approached us about purchasing space in Phase II of Anderson Square. Since we had always wanted to own our store space, we actively pursued purchasing a location in Anderson Square. I had known Steve for a number of years but had never had a business relationship with him. I was not surprised at all to find that it was an absolute pleasure to deal with him as our new location was being built. He was always available to help in any way he could to be a problem solver during the construction. I had been expecting a lot of hassles during the build as the gremlins seem to thrive around construction sites, but my experience was the opposite. If I needed help or advice, Steve was right there smoothing the way.
We opened our new location in 2004 and I worked closely with Steve until he sold his interest in Anderson Square in 2016. During those years, I found him to be very concerned about the welfare of all the store owners in the center and was constantly picking up trash, hanging Christmas decorations or driving through to check on any parking problems. Steve is the type of developer that remains involved in his projects long after they are completed. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to own or lease a portion of any project he is building.”
