What Holt Lunsford Commercial Investments does

Holt Lunsford Commercial is a privately held, founder-controlled, full-service third-party commercial real estate company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in May 1993 by Holt Lunsford. The firm provides integrated services across project leasing, tenant representation, property and facility management, accounting, development services and construction management, commercial property and casualty insurance, and direct investment. It oversees more than 90 million square feet of commercial real estate across Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston for institutional investors (e.g., TIAA-CREF, Principal Financial, RREEF, Clarion Partners, LaSalle, AEW, Stockbridge) and private owners, with active business also in Austin via Holt Lunsford Holdings multifamily investments.

The company operates three wholly owned operating units: Holt Lunsford Commercial Investments (HLCI), a vertically integrated investment and development platform that has participated in more than $1.9 billion of commercial real estate transactions across 276 properties; Holt Lunsford Insurance, a master insurance program partnered with McGriff that insures over $2 billion in property value and serves 100+ customers across 22 states; and the core brokerage/property management platform. Revenue is generated through multiple streams including managed-services fees (property and facility management, accounting), transaction fees (project leasing commissions, tenant representation), professional services (development and construction management), and insurance premiums.

Technology is built on standard third-party CRE platforms (Yardi Voyager, MRI, Veribrum, Workspeed, Skyline, Winstack, QuickBooks, Kardin) rather than proprietary systems. The company employs 200+ professionals, is led by Holt Lunsford as Executive Chairman and Mario Zandstra as President (appointed 2023), and is recognized through 19 consecutive CoStar Top Leasing Firm awards (2005–2024), consecutive Dallas CEO Power Broker recognition (2018–2025), multiple BOMA awards, and a Harvard Business School case study. Its most recent strategic initiative is the Carter Crossing industrial development (1M+ SF) in south Fort Worth, which broke ground in November 2025 with completion expected August 2026.
