Dallas Business Journal’s Bill Hethcock sat down with Larry Corson and Brian Cramer to discuss the current disconnect between capital market’s lending for new development projects and the builder and consumer demand for new housing in North Texas.

“In this particular case, the residential market is healthy here in Dallas — very healthy — yet the banking industry is dealing with its own issues,” Larry Corson, co-founder of Corson Cramer Development said.

A North Texas land development firm is planning a residential community just outside McKinney’s city limits that will bring more than 100 new homes to the market.

Dallas-based Corson Cramer Development, co-founded by Larry Corson and Brian Cramer in January 2021, has acquired 43 acres of land in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of McKinney. The development will deliver 104 residential lots to Perry Homes, one of the largest homebuilders in the state.

2021 marked Corson Cramer Development’s inaugural year. In 12 short months, we closed 5 land acquisitions, 800+ acres and 2,300 single-family lots. While the work continues into 2022, we took a moment to pause and appreciate those companies and people that helped in our accomplishments.

In the year ahead, we plan to work even harder, scouring the DFW market for new land development opportunities from Midlothian to Rockwall, Van Alstyne to Aubrey.
