Black Label Commercial Group

What Black Label Commercial Group does

Black Label Commercial Group is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and property management firm headquartered at 1610 FM 1960, Houston, Texas 77073. Founded in 2004 by Casey Butaud, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who entered real estate in 1996, the firm operates alongside co-founder Beau Harris and a roster of commercial real estate advisors. The company serves business owners, investors, landlords, tenants, developers, and relocating companies across the Houston metropolitan area, including Spring, Humble, Katy, Porter, and Dayton.

The service platform is organized around eight core offerings: commercial investment analysis and brokerage (covering retail, industrial, office, multifamily, hotel, senior housing, self-storage, and land), commercial financing, site and development planning (powered by SITEOPS optimization technology), build-to-suit development, due diligence, site selection, project design, and contractor selection. Beyond brokerage, Black Label operates an in-house commercial development/construction arm and a property management division (Black Label Property Management, 300,000+ sqft under management, via the Camber Management Group subsidiary). A separate sub-brand, Black Label Farm & Ranch, handles agricultural land transactions. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based commissions on buy- and sell-side deals plus leasing commissions on tenant and landlord representation. Lease pricing in the data ranges from $1.25 to $2.08 per square foot per month depending on asset class and submarket. Notable deal scale includes a 40,000 sqft build-to-suit for a Canadian medical devices company relocating to North Houston and a $3.55M RV park investment sale.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and operates entirely within the Houston/Texas market without a stated global or national footprint.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE Group: CBRE is the world's largest commercial real estate services firm, offering brokerage, property management, valuation, and advisory across all major asset classes and geographies. Black Label competes in the same core CRE brokerage and property management categories but only at a regional Houston scale, whereas CBRE operates nationally and globally.
• Colliers International: Colliers provides commercial real estate brokerage, property management, and project management services. It directly competes in the same asset classes Black Label serves (office, industrial, retail, multifamily, land), and offers similar tenant and landlord representation services.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Cushman & Wakefield provides commercial real estate services including brokerage, property management, valuation, and advisory. It overlaps directly with Black Label's office, industrial, retail, and multifamily brokerage services, but operates across many more markets globally.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): JLL is a global commercial real estate and investment management firm competing in investment sales, leasing, and property management. Black Label's brokerage plus in-house property management mirrors JLL's broader platform, but at a fraction of the geographic and capital scale.
• Newmark Group: Newmark is a full-service commercial real estate advisory firm offering capital markets, leasing, and property management across major U.S. markets. It competes with Black Label in industrial, office, retail, and investment sales brokerage at a much larger scale.

Direct peers

• NAI Global: NAI Global is a network of independently owned commercial real estate firms providing brokerage and property management. Black Label's regional Houston platform mirrors the NAI affiliate model in terms of asset class breadth and service offering, with shared overlap in landlord/tenant rep and investment sales.
• Transwestern: Transwestern is a commercial real estate firm operating across major U.S. markets with services in tenant/landlord representation, capital markets, and property management. It is a relevant peer given shared focus on office, industrial, and investment brokerage, with comparable mid-market enterprise client orientation.
• Stream Realty Partners: Stream Realty Partners is a national commercial real estate services firm with strong Texas presence in Houston and Dallas, offering leasing, investment sales, development services, and property management. It directly competes in the same Houston market with overlapping industrial, office, and retail brokerage capabilities.
• Marcus & Millichap: Marcus & Millichap specializes in investment sales and financing of commercial properties across multifamily, retail, office, and industrial. It is a closer functional peer to Black Label's investment brokerage line, with comparable transaction-fee revenue model and similar focus on smaller/mid-market investors.

Regional players

• HOULIHAN LAWRENCE Commercial: While primarily a residential brand, comparable regional brokerage firms serve similar middle-market commercial clients in specific metros. Used here as a placeholder for a regional, founder-led commercial brokerage that competes for the same local investor and small/mid-cap client pool as Black Label, though focused on a different geography.
