Partnerships & Joint Ventures
Partnering with landowners, operators, and capital in Texas commercial real estate.
Not every deal fits neatly into a simple “broker and client” box.
Sometimes the best outcome comes from a partnership - where a landowner, operator, or capital group teams up with someone who can bring underwriting, development strategy, city process, and execution to the table.
This is how I partner and joint venture with others on industrial, commercial, land, and select multifamily opportunities across Dallas–Fort Worth and Texas.
Who I Partner With
Landowners
Landowners who:
Own infill or growth-corridor sites in or around DFW and key Texas markets
Want to do more than just sell, but aren’t sure how to structure a development
Need help with concept, feasibility, partner selection, and capital
Operators & Tenants
Operators, users, and brands who:
Need a custom facility (industrial, flex, service/medical, or specialized commercial)
Want to focus on the business, not learning development from scratch
Are open to sale-leaseback or build-to-suit style structures that align long-term real estate and operations
Developers & Capital Partners
Developers and capital groups who:
Want a local partner in Texas for specific industrial, commercial, or land strategies
Value on-the-ground site selection, entitlement, and city-process insight
Prefer partnering with someone who also underwrites and invests as a principal
How I Partner
Every deal is different, but most of my partnerships fall into one of these categories:
Landowner & Developer JV
You contribute the land; I help figure out what to build, how to structure it, and who should be involved.
Typical structure:
Land contributed at an agreed-upon value
A development partner and/or operator added to the team
Everyone participates in fees and promote based on real contributions and risk
Co-GP / Co-Investment
I join as a co-GP or co-investor alongside a sponsor or operator.
Best fit when:
The deal is industrial, flex, commercial, or land development
There’s a clear role for local expertise, deal sourcing, or development advisory
Everyone is aligned on returns, timing, and exit strategy
Build-to-Suit & User Partnerships
You’re an operator who needs a facility built around your operations.
Structures can include:
A developer + capital delivering a turn-key facility with you as the tenant
Variations where you retain or gain ownership over time
Sale-leaseback strategies to unlock capital while keeping control of your operations
The goal is to match the real estate structure to the business model, not force a generic template.
What I Bring to a Partnership
A partnership should only exist if everyone adds something real. Here’s what I bring:
Brokerage & Market Knowledge
Deep experience in industrial, commercial, and land in DFW and across Texas, including comps, trends, and buyer/user demand.
Underwriting & Investment Discipline
I underwrite deals, pressure-test assumptions, and structure risk/return like an owner, not just a broker.
Development & Entitlement Insight
Familiarity with site planning, city process, and entitlement paths, and when to bring in the right engineers, architects, and consultants.
Capital & Relationship Network
Relationships with capital providers, developers, operators, and professionals who understand Texas and can execute.
Hands-On Execution
Involvement from strategy through implementation, not just making introductions and stepping back.
How to Start the Conversation
You don’t need a perfect deck or full pro forma to start, just the basics.
What to send:
What you have: land, building, or concept
Where it is: city, submarket, major cross streets
What you’re thinking: use case, rough timeline, and goals
We’ll get on a call, walk through the opportunity, and decide together whether:
A JV, co-GP, or build-to-suit structure makes sense, or
You’re better off with a straight sale, lease, or advisory-only approach
