Founded in 1987 by James A. Siepiela and Gregory L. Rich, Siepiela Interests was formed with a simple vision as a diversified development company: to build sustainable, responsible communities that preserve the natural environment and maximize the quality of life. Our portfolio, though anchored in residential communities, includes commercial real estate, urban retail and multi-family development. More than 5,000 homesites have been primarily developed by our team throughout the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, as well as, projects across Texas. An integral part of our company is to maintain the capacity to obtain capital from established sources and provide turnkey opportunities to our development partners. Our success, as Siepiela Interests, is measured by the long-term value defined by our buyers. The master-planned aesthetic design, proximity to everyday amenities and livability within the communities are our top priorities for buyers to feel right at home.
