Norwood “Buddy” Cowgill is one of the few people in Lexington today that can say that they took a company public. 

Buddy was born in Lexington and grew up on Chenault Road before attending Transylvania University and eventually becoming a large-scale real estate developer/owner and founder of Studio Suites Plus and Office Suites Plus. Most recently, Cowgill is developing the corner of Polo Club and Winchester Road towards a Healthcare Hub for Lexington that will serve much of the state (think where you see the Massive Baptist Health Hamburg Building going up, where UK just closed on 40 acres) 

On this episode, we discussed Buddy’s start into real estate and how his entrepreneurial real estate mind led him towards the success of the bulk of his career, as well as how he did that from Lexington. We also discussed where he sees the trajectory of a city like Lexington going and where the next generation of entrepreneurs fits into that.
