ABOUT

Chris has over 26 years of experience representing tenants and buyers of commercial real estate in the Austin area. With a background in environmental issues, construction and property management, Chris has the experience and expertise to anticipate and maneuver opportunities for his clients to achieve the best possible deal and to avoid potential pitfalls. Chris has represented a variety of clients – from professional (law, engineering, accounting, medical, associations), to technical (contract manufacturing, software development), to public sector (State of Texas, Travis County, CommunityCare), to name a few. Cases in Point: Chris represents Nova Medical Centers (an occupational medical practice). They are based in Houston and have clinics throughout Texas and have expanded into Georgia and Tennessee. Chris also represents a contract manufacturer, Kodiak Assembly, who has expanded multiple times and is now occupying more than 60,000 SF. Another example is the Fowler Law Firm, who Chris helped transition from downtown Austin to the suburbs after being downtown for over 40 years. In addition to their change of address, Chris helped them consolidate their office spaces, saving significant rent. Chris is dedicated to representing his clients. Whether they are a start-up operation or large publicly-traded company, Chris ensures that each client gets the attention they deserve. He can do this because he and his Tower Commercial partners do not have the pressure to meet deal quotas like the large international real estate firms. Chris grew up in the West Houston area. After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin, he worked as a geological consultant in various parts of California and Texas. He and his wife, Margaret, are raising two sons, Braden and Vincent, and two daughters, Nikki and Amaya in the Wimberley Valley.
