Just a couple of years ago, Indianapolis-based Lauth Group was flying high in the world of commercial real estate development. Commercial Property News ranked the company as the 13th largest developer in the country in 2007.

A year earlier, in 2006, it completed a staggering $592 million worth of projects. That was quite a substantial increase from the $143 million worth of projects the company completed in 2005.

During those halcyon days, the privately owned company more than doubled its staff in just more than a year, going from 168 employees in 2006 to about 450 in 2008. Revenues more than doubled two years in a row as well, first from 2004 to ’05, and then again from 2005 to ’06.

In addition to the headquarters in Indy, there were branch offices in Dallas; Denver; Charlotte, N.C.; Orlando, Fla.; Phoenix; and Pittsburgh.
