Through uncompromising attention, we deliver exceptional projects that drive superior investor and client outcomes.
Principal Development & Investment
Strategy
Our core strategy includes the pursuit of ground-up development through joint venture partnerships, identification of acquisition opportunities with potential for Gauge value-add, and build-to-suit assignments catering to the exacting needs of an occupier.
Philosophy
Our investment philosophy is in our name. At Gauge, we approach projects with precision and measure, mitigating risk to the lowest possible levels while delivering opportunistic returns in the process.
Focus
Our sector focus remains infill industrial in markets supported by robust population density, strong projected patterns of growth, and advanced multimodal transportation networks. Geographically, Houston is our primary emphasis, followed by other core Texas markets sharing similar demand.
"Gauge Real Estate Partners is quite simply an expert turnkey project manager, who has consistently exceeded expectations across a variety of critical initiatives in leading the development of our new headquarters. From project financing and expert budget management to skilled design contribution and exceptional project management, there is nothing this team cannot do. Junior Achievement had no idea how much it needed Gauge, until it had the chance to work with them."
Joseph C. Burke, President of Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas
