OUR DNA

  • 50+ years of land investment intuition
  • Thousands of acres of land & infrastructure development expertise
  • Three generations of family leadership
  • Team born and raised in North Texas
  • Region-wide brand recognition
  • Partners average tenure ~23 years

We avoid the typical hazards of vertical building development, including:

  • LAND CARRY - Compounding debt service, property taxes, maintenance & insurance
  • CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING - Negative impacts of inflation & cost stability re: materials, labor, transportation, weather
  • DEBT / LEVERAGE - Exposure to market swings in interest rates and terms
  • FORECASTING MARKET METRICS - Vulnerability to existential challenges to absorption, lease rates, CAP rates, vacancy and tenant credit
  • FINANCIAL MODELING - IRR projections are dependent upon a successful confluence of multiple, unpredictable and often volatile variables over time
  • CAPITAL INEFFICIENCIES - Shorter exit time frames imply capital redeployment, tax challenges and redundant transaction fees.
  • PERMITTING - Subject to delayed City & County jurisdiction approvals and ever-changing criteria

WE PRODUCE SHOVEL READY LAND INVENTORY FOR FUTURE VERTICAL BUILDING DEVELOPMENT

The only investment risk exposure in our model is disposition / exit timing
