Freeman Homes & Development

Real estate development in Texas and Florida

Freeman Homes & Development is the development side of Marques Freeman's practice, working with builders and investors on new construction, duplex development, land acquisition and residential investment property.

From lot to lease-up

Development risk is front-loaded. The decisions made before construction, the lot, the product and the budget, set most of the outcome. That is why the work starts with land research and a realistic rent, not with a floor plan.

Investors who buy into new construction benefit from that discipline twice: once in the quality of what is built, and again in a delivery date and leasing plan they can underwrite. Read about buying new construction or land acquisition.

  1. 01

    Land and feasibility

    Lot size rules, deed restrictions, utilities, drainage, flood designation and the platting path, before a contract goes hard.

  2. 02

    Product and budget

    A product that fits the lot and the rent the submarket supports, priced against current construction costs.

  3. 03

    Construction

    A builder, a schedule and a draw plan, with a projected delivery date investors can underwrite against.

  4. 04

    Leasing or sale

    Pre-leasing ahead of delivery, or a sale to a qualified investor from the private deal list.

Questions

Development questions

Straight answers on lots, construction and lease-up.

Can investors participate in development opportunities?

Yes. Pre-construction and under-construction opportunities are shared with qualified investors on the private deal list, with a projected delivery date and the numbers up front. Choose Development as a strategy on the investor form.

Do you work with outside builders?

Yes. Builder partnerships are one of the three lead specialties: sourcing lots for builders and connecting their inventory with qualified investors. Start on the builder partnerships page.

Where does development work take place?

Across Texas and Florida, with a focus on Greater Houston and Central Florida. Houston's land use rules differ from Florida's city and county zoning, so feasibility is always checked parcel by parcel.
