Arnold Peck - The Real Estate Man of the decade in Southern New England

10 March 2021

At an early age, Arnold Peck started his uphill climb in renovating an old house in Milford, Connecticut. He then went on to specialize in the rehabilitation of beach cottages on the Milford shoreline.

Arnold continued to rehab small buildings and sell residential properties as a licensed agent.


In 1967, he founded his own company, Arnold Peck Realty.


He trained his employees to feel as if they were running their own business. He set the pace for his staff to be decisive and encouraged them to be inventive and creative.


As one leading bank so stated... "His leader-ship and company growth in the past ten years has been truly outstanding" Thus, establishing Arnold Peck as the Real Estate Man of the decade in Southern New England.


Arnold is now on the hunt to repurpose old buildings into something new with more use.


Not only are these buildings going to be transformed, but this second life is going to be drastically different in purpose from the first.


Arnold talks about factories being converted into offices, warehouses into shopping markets, outdated

schools into rehab facilities, and much more.


Adaptive reuse allows Arnold to take a second look at old spaces, especially those that are abandoned or located along struggling, industrial waterfronts. It can also be a key way to preserve historic spaces and reduce urban sprawl; why build a new office space or hotel in the suburbs when you could breathe new life into an old structure?

Connecticut artist Chris Webby has long been known for using his voice to speak truth—but this time, the message goes far beyond music. Recently, Webby took to social media to raise concerns about the chemical spraying of Connecticut’s waterways, claiming the state moved forward with the use of Diquat —a substance reportedly more toxic than Glyphosate—despite earlier indications that spraying would be postponed until 2026. According to Webby, this decision comes in direct opposition to public sentiment and growing environmental concerns.
