About Us
FORMED IN 2001.
FOUNDED ON FOUR GENERATIONS OF REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE.
Since the 1930’s, members of our family have owned and operated retail real estate throughout Texas. Each generation has built upon the experiences of the prior ones. This long history of building relationships and knowledge of the commercial real estate industry is one reason why you can trust CenterPoint as a contributing partner to your success. Here are a few others:
- Relationship oriented. We are focused on solutions, not sales. When we partner with our clients, we all benefit.
- Full-service. CenterPoint has first-hand experience in all area of commercial real estate. Having one company coordinating all aspects of a project reduces the risk of miscommunication, error and unnecessary expense.
- Well respected. The reputation of CenterPoint is the cornerstone of our business. We are trusted in the business and will always put principle above price or self-promotion.
CenterPoint has completed transactions with hundreds of retailers, from expanding national brands to entrepreneurial start ups. Regardless of the size, we treat every transaction like it’s our highest priority client.
