A Houston real estate developer and builder.
WILLISJR Companies develops and builds modern residences in Houston, with development, construction and capital managed by one accountable team.
Building in one of the country’s fastest-growing markets
We launched our Houston building department in 2025 to develop ground-up residences close to downtown. Our first home, 602 Gregg Street in East River, is under construction. A second home of the same design follows next door, and eight homes are permitted in our Houston pipeline.
We bring the discipline of our Chicago portfolio to every Houston lot: verified comparable sales, real build-cost history, written subcontracts and project-level reporting.
