Reynolds Devel­op­ment was estab­lished in 2001 and is led by two gen­er­a­tions of the Reynolds fam­i­ly – a name syn­ony­mous in Vir­ginia with unmatched ded­i­ca­tion to busi­ness and com­mu­ni­ty devel­op­ment since 1958. The co-founders remain very active and sup­port­ive in the Rich­mond busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty and for many non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tions through var­i­ous fam­i­ly foun­da­tions. Mem­bers of the Reynolds fam­i­ly have foundered oth­er well know com­pa­nies, such as:

• R.J. Reynolds Tobac­co Com­pa­ny (Reynolds Amer­i­can Inc.)
• Reynolds & Com­pa­ny (Dean Wit­ter Reynolds Inc./Morgan Stan­ley Dean Wit­ter)
• Reynolds Met­als Com­pa­ny (includ­ing Eski­mo Pie and Robertshaw Con­trols, acquired in 1999 by Alcoa)
