Treemont Partners

What Treemont Partners does

Treemont Partners is a Houston-based, privately held full-service real estate firm founded in 2013 by CEO Philip A. McRae. The company operates across four integrated service lines—Realty (due diligence and investment advisory), Capital (equity stewardship), Development (project oversight), and Management (property management)—delivering turn-key real estate investment solutions to high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. The firm's investment focus is concentrated in premium branded Hospitality, Multi-Family, and Student Housing projects, with active developments located in Lubbock, Texas, including Home2 Suites by Hilton, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott (winner of Marriott's 2018 Project of the Year Award for North America), Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Lubbock University/Downtown, and The Carlton House luxury student housing across from Texas Tech University.

Treemont Partners monetizes through real estate investment management fees, development fees, and capital stewardship via bespoke partnership arrangements with its investor base. The go-to-market is relationship-driven, leveraging CEO Philip A. McRae's 30+ years of leadership experience and prior track record at Moody National Companies, where he oversaw nearly $2 billion in real estate holdings and scaled the firm from 4 to over 1,000 employees. The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its competitive positioning rests on human expertise, premium franchisor relationships (Hilton, Marriott), and execution discipline rather than software or automation.

Operationally, the company is small (1-10 employees), founder-controlled, and geographically narrow, with all disclosed active projects in a single Texas sub-market. Franchise partnerships with Hilton and Marriott International provide access to national brand ecosystems and guest loyalty programs, while the Marriott 2018 award provides third-party validation of execution quality. Pricing, revenue, and customer composition are not publicly disclosed.
