Legacy Capital Company

What Legacy Capital Company does

Legacy Capital Company is a private Dallas-based real estate investment firm founded in 1992 by Steven D. Saxon, specializing in the acquisition and development of undervalued land parcels in major Texas markets. The firm's stated strategy prioritizes job growth as the primary underwriting metric and pursues value through misperceived entitlement risk, supply constraints, distressed real estate, mismanaged entities, and public infrastructure improvements in the immediate trade area. The firm deliberately acquires in both up and down markets when pricing dislocation creates opportunity.

The firm maintains a focused, four-project active portfolio: Chisholm Trail West (Fort Worth residential land near Tarleton State University), Belknap/Retta (a 2.1-acre mixed-use redevelopment site in Fort Worth), Brewer/McPherson (a 4.9-acre neighborhood commercial tract within the Chisholm Trail Ranch development in Fort Worth), and Monterrey Village (a mixed-use development at Hwy 151 and Loop 410 in San Antonio). Equity requirements per transaction are disclosed as $1 to $5 million, with deal flow sourced both on- and off-market through partner relationships.

Legacy Capital is structured as a partnership between co-founder Steven D. Saxon (Harvard BA, Columbia MBA) and Peter M. Aberg (University of Kansas BBA), the latter joining as partner in 2002 with prior leadership experience at Jones Lang LaSalle, Grubb & Ellis, Bank One, and Henry S. Miller Company. The firm has no disclosed external investors, parent entity, institutional capital relationships, or fundraising activity; it operates with a small team (11-50 employees) and earns revenue through development execution and asset disposition rather than disclosed management fees or third-party capital deployment.
