OUR HISTORY
Terrex Development & Construction was founded by Peter Horton, Matt Packer, and Tom Rowe in September 2014. Pete, Matt, and Tom established the company with the goal of providing a holistic and transparent experience for their customers in delivering construction and development projects.
The name Terrex was an intentionally created and unique word. It was created from the Latin words “Terra,” meaning land or earth, and “Rex,” meaning ruler or king. The name is metaphoric for our desire to be leaders of our industry within the built environment of our community.
Shortly after launching the company, Terrex and Messer Financial Services announced a strategic partnership in December 2014, capturing the synergies between Terrex’s development expertise and Messer’s investment capital/financial strength.
Today, Pete, Matt, and Tom continue to grow the company by adding the best and brightest people in the market to the Terrex team. The company continues to make headlines providing expert construction services to their cleints and delivering transformative development projects within the Cincinnati region.
