Houston-based McGuyer Homebuilders Inc. (MHI) has agreed to acquire Wilshire Homes, a move that will add Wilshire’s land holdings and active development positions in both Austin and San Antonio to MHI’s portfolio. Wilshire Homes is currently ranked as the 17th most active homebuilder in Austin and the 18th most active in San Antonio, reinforcing McGuyer’s strategic expansion in these fast-growing Texas markets.

In a separate transaction, CDI, a subsidiary of Japan’s Kajima Corporation, has purchased Bluffview Towers, a two-building Class A office complex totaling 196,356 square feet near Dallas Love Field. The property was marketed by HFF on behalf of the seller, Capstar Real Estate Advisors. This acquisition reflects continued investor interest in quality office assets in prime Dallas submarkets as companies and investors evaluate long-term office demand and location fundamentals.

These transactions highlight ongoing consolidation and investment activity in Texas real estate. For homebuilders like MHI, acquiring an established builder’s lots and entitled positions can accelerate growth by adding immediate inventory and local market expertise. For institutional buyers such as CDI, acquiring well-located, Class A office properties provides stable, long-term income potential and exposure to desirable submarkets like the Bluffview area near Love Field.

Both deals underscore the dynamic nature of Texas’ real estate landscape, driven by population growth, corporate relocations, and demand for both residential developments and high-quality office space. As MHI integrates Wilshire’s assets and as CDI manages Bluffview Towers, these transactions will likely influence local development activity, leasing strategies, and investment patterns in Austin, San Antonio, and the Dallas area.
