Robert D. Hoover, III is President of The Canterbury Company. Prior to founding the firm, Robert acted as Director of Development for Ramston Capital, having joined Ramston following their first project. Robert is a member of the Urban Land Institute and an associate member of the AIA. Robert attended Tulane University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture, a Minor in the Business of Real Estate Development, and a Master of Architecture. A Nashville native, Robert is a proud alumnus of Montgomery Bell Academy.
Robert and Ben spent years building a portfolio together, delivering attainable housing to a generation of residents moving to the Southeast. That work taught them what residents need first, and what they aspire to next. Over time, that same population has grown into the region, deepening its roots and turning toward better schools, an elevated lifestyle, and a more considered place to live. Canterbury was built for this, to perform across cycles, not just one.
