OUR PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Building value The High Way since 1931

Tracing its roots back to Sanford H. High’s founding of High Welding more than 90 years ago, the High family are industrial innovators. The 1940s saw High Welding pioneering welded steel bridges—replacing the common practice of riveting—as well as expanding into fabrication. In 1963, the family formed High Realty Company, its first foray into other businesses.

Over the following decades, the company expanded, founding High Associates (selling, leasing, and managing commercial, industrial, and residential real estate), High Concrete, the nonprofit High Foundation, High Hotels, Greenfield Architects, High Structural Erectors, High Environmental Health & Safety, and many more.

Members of the High Family still maintain active roles across these many companies. Several Highs also serve on the High Family Council, a group that continues to provide across-the-board leadership to the High companies, ensuring that the values and philosophy established by previous generations of the family continue to guide business.

Giving back is the essence of hospitality

High Hotels is proud to be part of the High companies’ legacy, which has a long tradition of contributing to the communities where we operate. From corporate giving and volunteer opportunities to the generosity of the High family and High Foundation, our coworkers are part of an established culture of philanthropy.

By giving back to our communities, we make an investment in the future that not only benefits those in need, but also fosters a sense of purpose and pride among our coworkers who choose to work for a company that cares.
