Steve Bancroft joined Trammell Crow Residential in 2011 after having been employed at Crow Holdings for 13 years. All together, Steve has been employed by Crow Holdings related companies for over 25 years. Since joining TCR, Steve’s teams in DFW, Austin, Phoenix, Denver and the PNW have sourced, financed and began / completed construction / leaseup on over 70 projects totaling over $5.0B in capitalization and 20,000+ units.

A graduate of Southern Methodist University, Steve has been actively involved in civic relations over the years, including serving on the City of Dallas Downtown TIF Connection Board,  NAHB MF Board, NMHC as well as The Real Estate Council in Dallas, Texas.

According to James Craig, he has the best job in the world. It offers the ability to meet and interact with new people daily and allows him to establish long-lasting relationships, a practice that James puts great emphasis on.

James is also a licensed real estate broker and responsible for the acquisition and disposition of commercial and residential land, as well as income producing assets. A big part of what James does is connect people with one another and surround them with the tools needed to be successful.

Born and raised in Collin County, the area holds a special place in James’ heart. He grew up immersed in the business and says real estate has always been a big part of his life. He’s a firm believer that if you are a good steward of the land, the land will be good to you, which in effect provides good stewardship to your community. James currently serves on the McKinney Chamber Board of Directors and is also a member of the McKinney Development Committee. When James isn’t in the office, he enjoys spending time with his family. He and his wife, Sabrina, have three sons: James (IV), Carter and Weston.

While completing his MBA from the University of Western Ontario in 1982, Jack joined Matthews Group Ltd, the family construction company. In 1985 Jack was appointed President and presided over a period of unprecedented growth as company revenues grew from $69 million to over $500 million. In 1988, Jack founded Matthews Southwest to provide an American presence in the development business.

From 1991 to 1993 Jack served as Chief Executive Officer of Paxport International, the firm awarded the $2 billion Federal contract to privatize and redevelop Pearson International Airport in Toronto.

In 1994, Jack purchased Matthews Southwest and relocated to Dallas, Texas and has continued to develop innovative, quality commercial, industrial and residential projects in Canada, the United States and Mexico. He has also established an international presence with Matthews Southwest EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).

Jack has led the completion of many diverse projects including hotels, condominiums, offices, retail, residential and industrial space. His experience and mastery of all aspects of development – from imagining to creating, acquiring the land, financing the deal, building the project, then holding or selling on completion – helps to create value at all stages in the process.

Jack’s greatest strength is his ability to assemble great teams that can complete complex projects. He has had success in finding under-utilized re-development sites as well as environmentally sensitive sites. In his understated way, he is as comfortable being part of a team as leading it.
