OUR HISTORY
Samuel Hawbaker with Joan Brower and Todd Hawbaker — Principles of Park Forest Enterprises, Inc.
J. Alvin Hawbaker, founder of Park Forest Enterprises, Inc., got his start in State College as a residential home builder and developer. J. Alvin established his first company, CV Construction in 1943, and it thrived in State College until J. Alvin went out on his own to develop the wooded neighborhood now know as Park Forest Village. J. Alvin eventually went on to become a property manager, and soon was the manager of over 1,000 rental units.
In 1979, J. Alvin formed the family-owned property management company Park Forest Enterprises, Inc. with his son, Samuel Hawbaker, and daughter, Joan Brower. Samuel Hawbaker is now the president of Park Forest Enterprises, Inc., and his son Todd Hawbaker manages the leasing office.
