Business
While Crow Family Holdings has interests in numerous diversified investment activities, real estate is their foundation. Trammell Crow began a career of real estate development at the end of World War II. Since that time his family has had a prominent role as developers and investors in the U.S. and international real estate markets and has always embraced long-term partnerships. Crow Family Holdings has been an active investor in industrial, office, retail, mart, land, hotel and residential real estate businesses in the United States, Europe and South America. Although real estate is its foundation, Crow Family Holdings has numerous and varied investment activities, including an investment portfolio with substantial stakes in privately held operating businesses and financial assets. Crow Family Holdings does not provide investment advisory services to any persons other than Crow family members and their affiliates.
