Boris Artiga · Texas
Land, most recently. Homes before that. Hotels before that. Every project hit a wall, and every wall became a trade learned once instead of paid for forever. This is the record of that operation, kept as the work happens.

Operation
Every capability was built in-house to solve a real project wall. Explore the six disciplines below, see how all eight development steps connect →, or visit the Acquisitions & Deal Desk →
Direct factory container imports and Houston warehouse supply across 3cm quartz and granite slabs, commercial porcelain tile, cabinetry, and hotel FF&E, backed by the fabrication and installer network that builds for the operation.
Enter →Ground-up commercial builds, hospitality PIP renovations, and structural/MEP execution run from whichever chair fits the project: in-house General Contractor or Owner's Representative managing the GC, budget, and draw schedule.
Enter →Tract sourcing, boundary and topographic surveys, stormwater detention value-engineering, utility capacity commitments, municipal replats, and horizontal dirt and paving from raw acreage to pad-ready sites.
Enter →Pre-acquisition feasibility, lived construction and rehab takeoffs, capital stack structuring, residential BPOs, commercial Broker Opinions of Value (BOVs), and direct Texas brokerage execution (TREC #570639).
Enter →Custom software, pricing and takeoff databases, automated deal pipelines, and high-capacity building MEP infrastructure engineered so projects do not leak time or margin between handoffs.
Enter →Field post-mortems and hard-won operating rules from deals that penciled, builds that hit walls, and the costly mistakes that forced every core trade in-house.

An extended-stay PIP is fundamentally different from a standard select-service renovation. If you treat the brand's preferred-vendor list as mandatory, you are paying someone else's distributor markup.

When a hotel brand issues a PIP, they steer you straight into preferred-vendor catalogs with massive distributor markups. The way around the catalog tax is knowing how brand review actually works.
October 28, 2026 · Construction
A general contractor will quote a hotel renovation by square-foot averages. That is a guarantee of future change orders. Real cost control requires forensic plan takeoffs before a contract is signed.

When a commercial gut renovation combines a convenience store expansion, underground utility coordination, and a quick-service kitchen conversion, scope control is won in preconstruction.
Principal Desk & Capital Network
We acquire, recapitalize, and place off-market hotels, shopping centers, fuel stations, and Texas development land. Because our operation runs construction, hotel PIPs, and container material supply in-house, we underwrite against real replacement cost and close alongside private capital partners and vetted asset-class buyers.
Acquire assets directly in deal-specific entities alongside private capital partners and commercial lenders, with renovation, PIP, civil work, and lease-up executed in-house.
Step into land tracts or commercial buildings that need capital, entitlement, or heavy renovation with aligned equity structure, factory-direct materials, and construction control.
When an asset is not a fit for our own balance sheet or JV partners, place it discreetly with active hotel, retail, fuel, and land buyers in our network without public listing noise.
Direct engagements
While the operation builds its own projects, you can hire specific capabilities (property valuations, site feasibility, blueprint takeoffs, owner's representation, material sourcing, or brokerage) on a transparent flat-fee basis. Full fee schedule →
Ground-truth residential BPOs, commercial BOVs, and land valuations across a 60-mile Houston radius, underwritten by a Texas broker who actually builds.
Pre-acquisition underwriting, rehab and construction budget reality checks, and entitlement due diligence before you wire earnest money.
Managing boundary and topographic surveys, stormwater detention engineering, replats, utility capacity commitments, and municipal permit walkthroughs from raw acreage to shovel-ready pads.
Sitting in the owner’s chair above the GC, from plan takeoffs and bid leveling through build-to-suit lease structuring, PIP execution, and final punchlist.
Factory-direct container procurement, hospitality PIP brand submittals, and wholesale stone, quartz, tile, and cabinetry sourcing without distributor markups.
Upfront-committed Texas brokerage: unbundled contract execution, landlord lease-ups, credited buyer/tenant representation, flat-fee MLS, and commercial sales without 6% retail commissions.
Most real projects do not fit inside a single box. Every line item across all six services can be ordered à la carte or combined into one flat-fee engagement (such as pairing a Commercial BOV with a GC Bid-Leveling Audit, or ordering shop drawings and container stone without full PIP management).
