Cypress Equities
Cypress Equities was founded in 1995 and launched as the development affiliate of The Staubach Company. The portfolio grew quickly, and Cypress Equities established its own national reputation synonymous with the premier development, operation and management of destination-class retail, residential and mixed-use properties in the U.S. and abroad. Today, there are five Cypress Equities offices throughout the U.S., including Dallas (headquarters), New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale. Over the course of 18 years, Cypress Equities companies have been actively involved in over 200 real estate investments, valued at more than $4 billion, including over $1 billion of total invested equity. The portfolio of projects has historically consisted of commercial development, investment, and sale-leaseback transactions, including more than 17 million square feet of retail, office, residential, automotive and industrial real estate. Our deep-rooted industry experience combined with our entrepreneurial spirit enable our team members to assess and execute the best possible long-term plans for our clients and partners. We are actively pursuing retail mixed-use developments. For more information, please e-mail acquisitions@cypressequities.com.
