What Embree Group of Companies does

Embree Group of Companies is a privately held commercial real estate services firm headquartered in Georgetown, Texas, founded in 1979 by Jim Embree. The company operates through four wholly-owned Texas-incorporated subsidiaries—Embree Construction Group, Embree Development Group, Embree Asset Group, and Embree Capital Markets Group—providing integrated turnkey real estate services to nationally recognized clients across retail, restaurant/QSR, banking, healthcare, automotive, education, and self-storage verticals. The firm holds general contractor licensure in all 50 states and has delivered over 20,000 projects across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada with a staff of 215+ professionals including PMP-certified project managers, LEED-accredited professionals, registered architects, professional engineers, licensed brokers, attorneys, and 100+ field superintendents.

The business model spans three revenue streams: (1) construction services including general construction, design/build, construction management, minor works, and program roll-out services delivered on a professional services basis; (2) development services including single-tenant build-to-suit development, fee development, ground leases, and reverse build-to-suits; and (3) capital markets advisory and brokerage services covering investment sales, asset management, debt and equity placement, joint ventures, 1031/1033 exchanges, and a JV equity funding program offering up to 100% financing. Customer logos include Petco, Dollar General, Chase, Raising Cane's, Public Storage, DaVita, Wawa, Whataburger, and The Learning Experience, with deep multi-program relationships (Dollar General 100+ projects, Raising Cane's 100+ projects, Public Storage 500+ properties). The company does not rely on proprietary software platforms; its competitive position is built on licensure footprint, integrated service delivery, and 47 years of relationship capital.

In 2025, Embree Construction Group was ranked No. 395 on the ENR Top 400 Contractors list with 20.11% reported growth and was named among Austin Business Journal's Fastest Growing Companies. The firm is actively expanding into healthcare/life sciences real estate through a dedicated CIO and a $185 million micro-hospitals program, while extending from fee-based services into principal capital deployment via its JV Equity Funding Program.
