Owner and CEO
Jackson has been the Owner and CEO of Hughes Commercial Properties since 1996.
During his four decades in the industry, Jackson has developed countless commercial properties – including industrial, office and retail space – throughout the country.
But what sets Jackson apart is not just what he’s accomplished, but how he’s accomplished it. Jackson sets the tone and culture for the company. And with him in charge, that means a culture of collegiality, respect, high standards and even higher ethics.
Those standards and that success was recognized in 2008 when Jackson was named an Upstate Entrepreneur of the Year, and in 2011 when he was named Real Estate Person of the Year.
Additionally, Jackson is a member of the Advancement Board for the Masters in Real Estate Development Program at Clemson University, a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers, and a past president of the Carolina’s Golf Association.
Jackson is married to Velda Hughes and has three children and four wonderful grandchildren.
