About Doug Pederson
Doug Pederson has been a resident of the Brazos Valley for over 35 years. Originally recruited out of Minnesota and brought here as a freshman in 1976 to play basketball for Shelby Metcalf, he never left. He graduated with a Business Management degree, purchased his first "fixer-upper" in 1989, and began his career of renovating older, run down properties. In 2007 Doug bought what is now "The Green Buildings" on the corner of Broadmoor and Briarcrest.
Recently his "Midtown" gentrification of an entire neighborhood on South College Avenue in Bryan culminated in the BCS Apartment Association's creation of the Pederson-Threadgill award. First given in 2010 to Doug Pederson and Jack Threadgill, it recognizes 20 years of property and community improvement, and the reduction of neighborhood crime rates.
As part of this honor, Pederson helped set future award criteria. New awards will be given to individuals whose revitalization efforts are a catalyst for other projects, lower crime rates, transform neighborhoods, and improve the community’s quality of life.
Active in many ways in the community, Doug is a member of the "Renegades Bible Study". He has also served on the boards of The Better Business Bureau, SOS Ministries, The Brazos Valley Rehabilitation Center, The Government Relations Committee of the BCS Apartment Association, and is a frequent guest lecturer at Texas A&M University.
