Rex Allen, founder of Pointe Property Group, is responsible for the company's strategic vision.

Prior to the formation of Pointe Property Group (formerly Commercial Management Corporation), Mr. Allen gained real estate experience from his involvement in the acquisition and construction of over one million square feet of industrial space in five states with Imperial Cup Corporation.  A closely held family owned business, Imperial Cup Corporation met with great success during the Allen family's years of ownership.

During Mr. Allen's tenure with Imperial Cup, the company's growth rate dramatically increased.  Beginning as a regional firm of twenty-seven (27) employees in 1969, growing to become the world's largest manufacturer of industrial vending cups with eight plants in five states and a workforce of more than eight hundred (800) employees.  In 1989, the company was sold to International Paper, Inc. (formerly Federal Paper Board) a fortune 500 company based in Montvale, New Jersey.

When Imperial Cup Corporation sold in 1989, the Allen family took the success they had achieved in the manufacturing industry and continued to build on that success in commercial real estate markets.  Mr. Allen has since, been actively investing in numerous companies and real estate developments throughout the country.
