What Wynne/Jackson does

Wynne/Jackson is a Dallas-based real estate development firm founded in the late 1970s by Clyde C. Jackson, Jr. and Toddie L. Wynne. The company specializes in master-planned residential communities, mixed-use developments, student housing, and commercial/industrial projects, primarily across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with expansion into Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Georgia. Its portfolio spans over 35,000 acres of entitled land, 10,000+ single-family lots developed, and more than 10 million square feet of mixed-use and commercial space over its 40-year operating history. Wynne/Jackson has developed landmark properties including Plaza of the Americas (3.5M sq ft mixed-use complex), the OKANA Resort & Indoor Waterpark ($400M with the Chickasaw Nation), and the multi-phase Northside student housing development at UT Dallas.

The company's revenue model combines transactional lot sales to national and regional homebuilders (Highland Homes, David Weekley, Perry Homes, Lennar, Pulte, Taylor Morrison, etc.) with fee-based asset management, property management, leasing, and consulting services. Wynne/Jackson structures projects through joint ventures with institutional equity partners (Goldman Sachs, Star America, Balfour Beatty, Kuwait Finance House, 2GR Equity, ProspectHill Group, Hillwood Communities) and forms public-private partnerships with universities (UT Dallas) and municipalities. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on direct industry relationships, industry organization participation (ULI, Dallas Builders Association), and a partner portal for investor reporting. Active projects as of 2026 include Ridgeline (McKinney), Hillside Village (Celina), Creekshaw (Royse City), Monterra (Fate), Overland Grove (Forney), South Grove industrial (Waxahachie), and Northside Phase 4 (Richardson).
