# The 50 largest property developers in Texas

Tamtam tracks 73 property developers headquartered in Texas. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by D.R. Horton, Hines and Willow Bridge Property Company. Their median headcount is 459. Half of them were founded in 1982 or later. The most common headquarters are Houston (18), Dallas (13) and Austin (4).

These companies are primarily large property developers and construction firms based in Texas, with a focus on residential and commercial real estate. Notable companies include D.R. Horton, a national homebuilder; Hines, a global real estate investment and development firm; Willow Bridge Property Company, a residential real estate company; and Transwestern, a privately held real estate services company. The majority of these firms were founded between the 1950s and 1970s, indicating a mature industry presence.

A significant pattern in the data is the concentration of headquarters in major Texan cities. Houston and Dallas emerge as key hubs, with companies like Hines, Transwestern, David Weekley Homes, and Camden Property Trust in Houston, and Willow Bridge Property Company, Lincoln Property Company, and Hillwood in Dallas. This suggests a strong regional presence and interconnectedness among these large real estate players.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
