Who We Are

David Ebro

David Ebro

President

Background

David assembled the Levey Group team of professionals and leads its ground-up development strategies.

Since entering the real estate business in 2006 David has developed or redeveloped over 2.5 million square feet with projects ranging in size from 20,000 to over 600,000 square feet. 

His developments include flagship projects like Sam Houston Business Park, the redevelopment of the 34 acre, 550,000 square foot former Reed Hycalog manufacturing plant, redevelopment of the former Ford Motors parts distribution center, Levey Logistics Park, and The Business Center at Five Corners.

David works closely with Houston's real estate community to identify new land acquisitions opportunities that align with the Levey Group build-to-core and merchant build development strategies.

David manages partner relations under a simple mantra—under promise, and over-deliver. David has executed leases with numerous Fortune 100 and 500 companies (among these are companies like UnitedHealthcare, Chevron, Schlumberger, and Johnson Controls), and has current or former institutional debt or equity relationships with capital providers like Kansas City Life, Fidelity & Guaranty Life, Brookfield (after acquiring American National Insurance Company) and Crow Holdings.
