In those twenty-five years, Kent and his partners have overseen over $3 Billion in office and industrial development in Central Texas. Today, Kent is actively involved in all aspects of HPI’s business, from marketing and leasing to capital investments to multi-family. Prior to co-founding HPI, Kent served as Marketing Principal and as the Industrial Project Partner for Trammell Crow Company. During this time, Kent earned several Trammell Crow National Leasing Awards, all of which are a testament to his sharp negotiating skills.
