Office Development
His real estate career began in 1972 working for a national multi-family company as a project manager in a 5 state area. He transitioned to office development in 1975. As an office developer, his company, McCaslin Properties, developed and managed over 1 million sq. ft. of office space. The company’s primary focus included multi-tenant and build-to-suit projects. His role included the supervision of all areas of development, from land acquisition, finance and construction to leasing, property management and disposition. Among his build-to-suit clientele were several Fortune 500 Companies, including Aetna Life and Casualty, Atlantic Richfield, IBM, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and Conoco Phillips.
Multi-Family Development
Beginning in 1994 and lasting for a decade, he and J.D. McCaslin founded McCaslin Development. The full service multi-family company developed luxury apartment projects in the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex and Houston markets. The company handled projects on a turnkey basis that included conceptualization, capital structure, land acquisition, all phases of construction, leasing and property management. The focus was strategic location, Class A projects with state of the art amenities and innovative design. McCaslin Development built and leased over 3,000 units. They received recognition for several years as a Top Ten Multi-Family Developer by the Dallas Morning News. The company also received several NMHC (National Multifamily Housing Council) industry awards, including Resort/Luxury Project of the Year for the Quarters on Memorial apartment community in Houston. This was a 380-unit New Orleans style community. The portfolio was eventually sold to REITs.
Opportunistic Investments
After a successful career as an office and multi-family developer, McCaslin’s career has evolved from a history of individual deal making to an active investor role as well as an advisory investment role. He continues as an active investor in several asset classes including: multi-family, office, assisted living, industrial, residential lot development and timberland. Using this broad experience and industry relationships, McCaslin has participated and provided capital for numerous successful real estate investments.
