Encore Capital
We acquire, develop, and hold exceptional real estate—building enduring value across the nation.
Real estate, built and held with precision.
Who we are
We grew up in this business.
Encore began the way a lot of good things in Houston begin: close to the ground, with a couple of stores and a belief that steady, honest assets compound into something real. We have spent three decades learning these neighborhoods street by street.
That familiarity is our edge. We can see value where others see a tired building or a quiet corner, and we have the in-house teams to fix, run, and hold it. We are not chasing the next quarter. We are building for the next generation.
Founded in Houston
Building since 1990
What we do
Two disciplines, one integrated approach.
We create value across the full real estate lifecycle, from ground-up development to the acquisition and repositioning of income-producing assets.
Real Estate Development
We develop residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects from the ground up, controlling design, construction, and delivery through our in-house teams to build quality assets at disciplined cost.
- Ground-up residential & multifamily
- Convenience & retail development
- In-house construction management
Strategic Acquisitions
We acquire undervalued and income-producing properties, applying operational expertise and active management to reposition assets and unlock long-term appreciation and cash flow.
- Value-add & repositioning
- Income-producing retail & land
- Active asset management
What we do
The principles we won't trade away.
Patience pays
We buy to hold. The best returns we have ever earned came from assets we were willing to own through a full cycle, not flip in a hurry.
Know the ground
We invest where we have walked the lot, met the tenants, and understand the corner. Local knowledge is not a soft advantage; it is the whole game.
Do the work ourselves
Construction, management, and equity all live under our roof. When we own the work, we control the quality, the cost, and the timeline.
Grow the place too
A strong asset and a strong community feed each other. We invest with that in mind, because the neighborhoods we build in are our home.
What we own
Four kinds of ground, one way of working.
From corner stores to acreage, every asset earns its place by paying its way and appreciating over time.
Residential
Homes & rehabs
Commercial
Mixed-use & retail
Land
Acreage & future sites
What we do
Operators first, investors second.
Most of us came up running the assets we now invest in. That is why we trust our own underwriting, and why founders trust us with theirs. Over a century of building, between us.
