STAFF WRITERS

Dear Readers,

As I write this I know that many of you are en route to Las Vegas for ICSC. I hope you have great success, get a lot of deals done and arrive home happily exhausted.

Last month renown Texas economist Dr. Mark Dotzour told us the market is the best he has seen in twenty years and Dr. Bill Gilmer, Director, Institute for Regional Forecasting at University of Houston somewhat echoed that sentiment last week at his regional forecast stating that our economy is on solid footing.

Financing specialists Bill Dampier & Vince Di Mare talked with us about the amount of pent-up capital for commercial real estate that is available and they are equally bullish on the market as is Kirk Laguarta with Land Advisors, who predicts 200,000 acres of land selling over the next twenty years for Houston growth expansion.

I’m sure many of you recognize David Adickes artwork throughout Texas; however, how many of us knew he is as talented at real estate investing as he is sculpting?

More than just a warehouse

The diverse industrial market in Texas

BY BRANDI SMITH

Stretching across 4,000 acres in Northeast Houston, McCord Development’s Generation Park is a kind of mini-reflection of the largest city in Texas. It is a mixed-use development loaded with every kind of commercial real estate opportunity - from residential to office, retail to industrial.

One of the first tenants to plant a flag in Generation Park was FMC Technologies, now TechnipFMC, which opted to locate its 173-acre, state-of-the-art corporate campus there. Already 2,000 employees strong, the company currently has a footprint of 1 million-squarefoot and room to grow in its next phases.

“I think it took landing TechnipFMC to get people thinking, ‘Wow. This is actually a great location,” McCord says. “Now we’re just seeing people piling on at this stage. It’s very exciting.”

A possible reason for excitement is reports of a possible IKEA distribution center coming to Generation Park, something about which McCord was unable to comment. He did add, however, that the property is getting “a lot of interest from large, national retailers” focused on last-mile distribution and fulfillment.

Those are far from the only companies considering or already making a move to the development. McCord says plans include some smaller-scale industrial buildings for local Houston companies, citing GHX Industrial as an example. The anchor of the new Lockwood Business Park spans 10 acres, opposite TechnipFMC’s campus.

“Because of the space available here, they were able to combine their headquarters along with their regional distribution facility,” he explains “We’re working on several other similar industrial uses. We find that they like the close proximity to a mixed-use environment rather than being isolated in an ‘industrial area’.”

By contrast, Generation Park’s proximity to hotels, multi-family housing and restaurants provides additional incentive.

“We all eat lunch every day. We like to have nice places to go, but still be able to run a really competitive business and have low operating cost,” McCord says.

“One of the very unique attributes of Generation Park is our large scale and our close proximity to downtown,” says Ryan McCord, the company’s president.

He adds that those small businesses may not get as many headlines as a large retailer, but landing them is just as exciting for McCord Development.

“They’re the ones running Houston,” he points out.

“I’m really excited about maintaining a ratio where we have a significant portion of industrial companies at Generation Park actually making things and creating value” - Ryan McCord A glance around Texas will show you industrial is running markets all over the state. Even as projects under construction grew to 30.6 million square feet in the first quarter of 2018, net absorption increased and the vacancy rate dropped below 6 percent.

The majority of those new projects are going in up in Dallas, where 19.3 million square feet of industrial space is under construction, according to CBRE. Houston, which can boast the second-most, has less than half the square footage being built.

Industrial appears to be at a premium in Austin, however. Though the vacancy rate hovers just over 10 percent average asking rent there is up to $9.87 a square foot, compared to El Paso’s $4.30.

In San Antonio, delivered construction topped 2.2 million square feet in 2016 and 2017, setting the bar high for this year. It’s a benchmark Payton Rion and Michael Kent of Stream Realty think the market could get close to in 2018.

“San Antonio’s industrial market is strong. We are continuing to see higher rates and healthy occupancy throughout the core submarkets,” says Rion, an associate at Stream. “The demand for new class A warehouse

RYAN MCCORD MCCORD DEVELOPMENT

MICHAEL KENT STREAM REALTY

is at an all-time high, and with approximately 1.7 million square feet currently under construction, developers are trying to capitalize on this market trend.” Rion, who joined the company’s industrial and land team three years ago, and Kent, a vice president who has been with Stream since 2012, say they believe in the San Antonio industrial market.

“With our partners, we have been able to recently deliver a total of 600,000 square feet of speculative Class A warehouse space in San Antonio, says Kent, adding that in addition to that, “Stream owns and/or is marketing a total of 285 acres of industrial land available for sale, continued development and built-to-suit projects.”

“I thrive on the ability to be a part of a project and see something created start to finish. That’s what lured me, and I’m sure a lot of people, into the business,” Rion adds.

“Taking a raw piece of land or an old rundown building and creating something people can use and enjoy is pretty special.”

The industrial market has offered plenty of those opportunities in the past few years, especially as e-commerce has grown.

“As people’s day-to-day routines continue to change and shift to an online shopping experience, we are seeing the demand for not just more warehouse space, but more functional and efficient warehouse space,” says Rion.

“Distribution companies need to get their product from

A to B faster and more cost effectively than ever before to keep up with the consumer demands.”

That’s putting an emphasis on last-mile distribution facilities, which now account for 3.8 billion square feet of the state’s industrial space.

“We are seeing these requirements particularly in infill locations close to dense residential areas,” Kent explains.

“It’s impact on industrial development is making sure that you have the right location with easy access to major highways in order to navigate and serve the city quickly and efficiently.”

That mix of logistics and e-commerce, plus a growing population, is what McCord says is behind the industrial boom in Texas, specifically in Houston. The Port of Houston, he points out, is doing an “exceptional job” growing the region’s container-handling capacity.

“As people’s day-to-day routines continue to change and shift to an online shopping experience, we are seeing the demand for not just more warehouse space, but more functional and efficient warehouse space” - Payton Rion

“You couple those things and all of a sudden, it makes tremendous sense for companies that may previously have not had a substantial facility in the Houston area to want to locate a facility here,” explains McCord. “They can benefit from the port and serve an enormous local population.”

‘special sauce.’ While we’re seeing a big surge in these larger-scale distribution centers, which I think is exciting and great for the region, I’m really excited about maintaining that ratio where we have a significant portion of industrial companies at Generation Park actually making things and creating value.”

Generation Park offers easy access to that population, just a 20-minute drive from downtown.

He points to future tenants that would range from pharmaceutical, to medical devices, to traditional, energy-centric fabricators and beyond.

“We’re remarkably central in that pursuit,” McCord adds.

He says that, going forward Houston’s unique industrial market, which has historically leaned on manufacturers or other value-add companies, will continue to draw attention for more than just warehouse space.

“These businesses are taking either raw materials or slightly modified goods and then combining them to create something with even more value,” says McCord. “I think that’s a big part of Houston’s

“I think Houston’s going to enter into a very exciting chapter where we capitalize on the chemistry sector of our economy, as well as the medical sector and the global connectedness of this city from a trade, transportation and transit perspective,” McCord says.

Rion has similar expectations for San Antonio, which he says is flourishing.

“This cycle has been big for industrial real estate. The market is constantly changing and the needs from the tenants will continue to grow as consumer trends fluctuate,” he says. “However, we believe the fundamentals of industrial will stay the same for a long time to come; people will always need a place to store stuff.”

Indeed, they will, and the industrial CRE professionals all across Texas will be happy to help them find that place when needed.

O’Connor & Associates Land Forecast Luncheon Speaker: Kirk Laguarta / Land Advisors Bullet Points: • L arge master-planned communities of the future will be near the Grand Parkway and beyond.

•D evelopers who used to access the huge sums needed from banks now access them from equity investors who have a medium- to long-term horizon. These investors are from the money centers and are yield-driven.

KIRK LAGUARTA

• S ome large developers have been acquired by or have very close relationships with their sources of their funding. The developers have in some cases traded potentially higher profits for lower risk.

• T he Houston economy has many ‘drivers’ and lot development has continued apace even through the periods when oil prices dropped. This give assurance to investors.

•W e have averaged over 18,000 home starts annually for over 20 years, far more than any other large U.S. city, and in 2017 we had 27,000 starts.

• T he land transactions for large master-planned communities are very complex, but lead time in Houston needed for entitlements (governmental approvals) are still shorter than in most other markets, which enables Houston homebuilders to give more home for the money.

• E quity investors seek only the developers with the most sterling reputations.

•W ith all the population growth in the far-flung parts of the area, roads are important, and toll roads will be the solution, since TXDOT has limited funds.

Takeaway: Houston’s projected growth boom will require the acquisition of land and its development into residential lots at the rate of 10,000 acres per year, or 200,000 acres over the next twenty years. Houston has led the nation’s other large cities for many years in new home starts and will continue to do so.

Taking flight with Pro Aire Aerial Photography

BY BRANDI SMITH

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the images captured by Pearland, Texas-based Pro Aire Aerial Photography are virtually priceless.

However, they don’t come with the price tag you’re probably expecting.

“A lot of people don't realize how inexpensive it is,” says owner Deana Waddell.

A couple times a week, she’s up in a plane, photographing properties all over the greater Houston area from an average height of 1,500 feet, though flying even higher is an option for larger properties.

“It’s really as simple as opening up the window,” Waddell explains. “We use our high-resolution cameras and telephoto lens to capture all angles to enhance a property.”

While Pro Aire covers Brenham to Beaumont, everywhere in between and other parts of Texas, Waddell admits she has a favorite.

“I love doing skyscrapers and downtown projects. The pictures are very cool and intriguing,” she laughs. “We've done a couple downtown Houston shots in the past month and were able to fly around it. You can see all of Houston when you're right in the middle of the Central Business District.”

The company has been offering traditional aerial photography for decades, but now it has a new tool up its sleeve: a pool of Part 107 licensed drone pilots ready to capture lower-altitude photos and videos. Each approach can offer a different vantage point for a piece of property.

“From a plane, you are able to get more perspective. You can see where the property relates to highways, downtown or certain neighborhoods,” says Waddell.

JUNE 2018

The two approaches don’t just offer a different view of a project. One is considerably easier to facilitate than the other.

“It’s simpler for us to get approval to take a plane up.

With an airplane, we’re in constant communication with the towers. They know who we are, where we are and what we’re doing,” explains Waddell. “You don’t have that kind of communication with drones, which is why they have a lot of restrictions.”

She tells the story of a recent project in College Station, where it would have taken three to six months to get approval to fly.

“Our clients can’t wait three to six months for us to get these photos. That’s when flying is a better option,” Waddell says, adding that many airports are working on a process that will allow for instant approval of drones in airspaces during certain times and in certain altitudes.

In addition to the preparation time required, operating a drone also demands different logistics. Getting up in a plane is more efficient since Waddell says she can knock out more than a dozen projects each trip.

Drones require dedicated setup and operation for each individual shoot.

She adds Pro Aire’s clients fall into two categories: those who are selling a property and those who are building a project. The view out the plane’s window can be beneficial for both.

“As a result, the cost to do drone jobs is often more expensive. You might think being in an airplane is more expensive, but it's really not, because we're able to accomplish the shoot a whole lot faster than we can with a drone,” says Waddell.

“Sellers want to be able to show ‘You’re this close to the Med Center’ or ‘You’re this close to downtown. Our photos can do that,” Waddell says. “We also do bi-weekly or monthly shots for construction projects to show what kind of progress has been made.”

Now to those cheaper-than-you-thought prices: airplane services for construction projects start around $200, while real estate jobs are closer to $350. The cost of taking the drone up is variable depending on the location and scope of the site.

Those perspective shots are available on a smaller scale with drones, which can only go 400 feet up. They are better for showing the personality of a property.

No matter whether you need photos from high altitude, low altitude or both, Pro Aire has expanded its capabilities and can work closely with clients to meet all their needs in the aspects of aerial photography.

Leverage for Lending

Texas’ market creates new opportunities

BY BRANDI SMITH

When oil prices started to drop a few years ago, they pulled Houston’s economy down with them. It took a big toll on the city built on black gold. Late in 2017, a barrel of crude started to become more valuable, helping Texas’ largest city bounce back.

That rebound is being noticed in just about every sector of the economy, including commercial real estate lending.

“We're starting to see an uptick in transactions, in buyers and investors looking and more actively approaching properties,” says Bill Dampier, vice president of commercial lending for City Bank. “I think the increase in the price of oil has re-energized the market. It has given investors more optimism in regard to kicking the tires and looking for good buying opportunities.”

Beyond the city limits of Houston and even the borders of Texas, Dampier says there is a lot of capital out there, which means competition among investors. Additionally, it’s likely interest rates will only continue to climb and real estate isn’t getting any cheaper. That means finding a deal might take a bit more effort than it has in the past.

“Their expectation of returns is getting more in line with the market and with reality,” he says. “There's definitely still a lot of capital, but good buying opportunities are few and far between.

Bill Dampier Investors are having to City Bank dig a little deeper, look a little harder and turn over more stones.”

City Bank has been helping Houston investors turn over those stones since 2007, but the company got its start in Lubbock in 1941.

“We are family owned and looking to continue to expand and grow,” says Dampier. “My goal is to add value to my customers. Our mission is to build long-

lasting relationships by delivering extraordinary financial solutions through unrivaled customer service, one customer at a time. He joined City Bank’s Houston team in 2013 when the market was just creeping out of the Great Recession.

“We have taken a more cautious, conservative approach.

We tend to be a bit more selective in the clientele that we work with. The bank leans more in favor of the seasoned, financial-savvy real estate investor,” explains Dampier.

That approach by traditional banks is what often leads clients to Vince Di Mare of Equity Secured Capital.

“We fulfill a niche in

Vince Di Mare the commercial real Equity Secured Capital estate lending arena

by providing very quick bridge loans, primarily for situations that just need to move a lot quicker than the bank's able to move,” Di Mare says.

His company specializes in speed and approving loans that traditional lending sources shy away from due to cash-flow issues.

“Contrary to what a lot of people think, our clients are not the credit-impaired people. Ninety-nine percent of my clients are real estate developers or investors. They’re real estate movers and shakers, and we're one of many tools in their toolbox,” says Di Mare. “They have their bank relationships, they have their equity investor relationships and they have a relationship with us because sometimes they have to use us.”

Texas’ market creates new opportunities

Equity Secured Capital offers loans that bridge the gap between when the borrower needs the money and when he or she would be eligible for conventional financing.

“It's short-term. Our loans have an average shelf life of about a year. There's usually a definable exit strategy in place that the borrowers have before they come to me,” Di Mare explains.

A property’s sale is most often the “exit strategy” of choice for borrowers, he says. They have equity socked away in the land, but they need money for their next project. Di Mare says those clients typically do a cash-out loan and pay it off when they offload the property.

Di Mare shares the story of a client in Austin, who was aiming to have the winning bid on a $10 million Lake Austin property. The borrower was putting $4 million down, but needed the other $6 million financed quickly.

“The bank told him they wouldn’t be able to close for four or five weeks,” he recalls. “We got the loan on Tuesday and closed it on Friday.”

Di Mare offers up another example of a loan in Little Rock, where a borrower wanted to buy a former 120,000-squarefoot Walmart shopping center.

He won the property at auction, which dictated the deal had to close within three weeks.

JUNE 2018

He says his company was willing to back this borrower because “he’s putting his skin in the game.” The exit strategy in this case, according to Di Mare, is getting the center fully leased and then refinancing with a conventional lender.

“It was a no-brainer to us. We condition for your real estate-related items on a commercial loan. We condition for your title, your survey, your operating document for the buying entity, your appraisal and your rent roll. Notice I didn't mention tax returns, pro formas or things like that because we don't care.

We're asset-based,” says Di Mare.

“ We had plenty of situations in which the borrower is bankable. Often banks just can’t move fast enough,” - Vince Di Mare

“The borrower has perfect credit. He can put 25 percent down in cash. He's got massive real estate holdings and banking relationships in Austin,” says Di Mare. “But when he 20

told his bank the timeline, they told him, ‘There's no way we can close this in three weeks. Call Equity Secured Capital.’”

Di Mare is the first to point out, Equity Secured Capital isn’t usually the first stop for would-be borrowers because there’s a premium for its expedited services.

An old motto the company wore out was “We’re more expensive than a bank, but we’re cheaper than a lost opportunity.”

“We're certainly not going to give them a rate the bank would give them, but it's a short-lived scenario,” he says.

In other instances, he says Equity Secured Capital can be a fallback for clients. A recent borrower in Dallas had a Small Business Administration loan fall through the day before closing.

“He was buying a 35,000-square-foot commercial industrial building near downtown. The SBA literally pulled the rug on him, and his seller was not interested in extending the loan. He had to close or he was going to lose his earnest money as well as his contract,” Di Mare says.

When asked whether his company saw a surge in queries during the Great Recession when SBA loans seemed to dry up, he explains that his business flow goes along with the overall market.

“When the economy was in the dumps, our business slowed down incredibly. The fact was, everybody slowed down everywhere,” he says, pointing out that the situation has changed for the better in the past few years. “Now there's so much activity going on, we're getting more and more what we call ‘fallouts’ that come into our shop.”

Di Mare calls the current market “amazing.”

“There has been so much pent-up capital sitting on the sidelines for commercial real estate. Now things are getting done,” he says.

That’s an observation echoed by City Bank’s Dampier.

“The price of oil has helped bring out investors who have been hibernating, waiting for signs of an improving market,” he says. “I think with the Trump administration’s tax breaks and regulation rollback, it will offer buyers and developers even more incentive.”

Whether borrowers decide to go the conventional route through lenders like City Bank or push the limits with lenders like Equity Secured Capital, they are guaranteed to keep the lending industry busy for the foreseeable future.

Says Dampier: “There's a lot of optimism in the air right now.”

UH Bauer College Institute for Regional Forecasting Robert W. Gilmer, Ph.D., Speaker Takeaway: Houston’s economy is on a solid footing moving forward, although there is lingering weakness in office and in multi-family as Harvey occupancy dissipates.

ROBERT W. GILMER, Ph.D

Bullets: •H ouston has moved into a new growth cycle, although oil prices are subject to international political risk, and improved technology can find and produce more oil with fewer rigs and fewer jobs

•O il jobs are returning, but slowly and the industrial

sector has still not gotten over the loss of oil fieldrelated shrinkage of manufacturing space; there is no anticipated return of oil & gas employment to the previous peak

• G lobal growth is accelerating and with it the growing need for oil & gas

•M ost of the big refining and chemical plants are

complete or nearing completion; their feasibility was based on lower-cost oil & gas; jobs in that construction sector are shrinking

• F racking has fundamentally changed American oil & gas production; it has made the industry more competitive and more responsive to demand; it has attracted huge amounts of private equity; shale oil production continues to climb

• T rade is overall good, and tariffs could disrupt Houston’s port, logistics, and industrial real estate sectors

• T he overall U.S. economy is performing well, with a moderate recovery continuing

• E xisting home sales rose with Harvey and oil prices; new home lot supply is in good shape, but recent deliveries are slowing; 36,000 single family permits are expected in 2018

• I n multi-family, there are few new projects in the

pipeline, and as Harvey victims move out, absorption resumes from job and population growth; there are still lots of Class A units with vacancy rates in excess of 20%

•O utlook for the office market is bleak, although

absorption is slowly turning around vacancy rates

• I n the retail sector, out-of-state merchants are now claiming more that 10% of taxable sales

• R etail construction shows healthy growth, in line with population growth

• T he industrial sector is still being pulled down by less oil-related manufacturing

INTERVIEW WITH ARTIST - AND REAL ESTATE TALENT- DAVID ADICKES

RH: Welcome to RED News, David. You have been the Dean of the Houston Art Community for decades now, but most people don't know that you have had a shrewd eye for real estate deals over the years. Before we get into that, though, can you give our readers a summary of your career in painting and sculpture, including your early studies?

David Adickes: Yes...I studied painting in Paris with Fernand Leger, one of the modern biggies, for two years: 1948-50. I returned to Houston and had shows at several galleries and museums, including the Museum of Fine Art. The first big sculpture I did was for real estate developer Joe Russo at his Lyric Center building, The Cellist.

Joe was unsure if he had done the right thing putting this large sculpture up. (I wired it to 'play' classical music for about twelve hours a day.) About the same time, other building owners had put up large expensive sculptures by Miro and Dubuffet, one of which cost $1 million, so Joe commissioned a Houston poll to see where his The Cellist ranked of these three. It topped the list with 85% approval, so he was happy!

RH: This leads us to your real estate activities. Can you describe your first big deal and how it came about?

26

JUNE 2018

DA: I had decided to create three sets of large busts/heads of all the U.S. presidents and I needed a roomy warehouse. Almost by accident, I found an abandoned paint factory in what was then one of the shabbier parts of Houston, on Summer Street.

I bought 6.25 acres for $240,000 on a lease-purchase contract with rent payments going toward principal. The property was tied up with many others around the country in a master bankruptcy proceeding and after five years I heard the title on my warehouse had just cleared so I exercised the option in my lease and I closed the next day!

I subsequently sold about half of the site for what is now a Target store, and eventually sold the residual piece with my warehouse workshop: total sales receipts were about $5 million. Much of the appreciation in the site came as people discovered 'the presidents' in the large parking lot and before I knew it individuals, couples, and even tour buses were coming in and taking selfies and photos of the presidents.

The district became known as 'the art district'.

While I had the warehouse for the production of the presidents, I rented out spaces to other artists, but frankly I was not too demanding to all of them for their rent.

But it did establish for the first time the concept in that neighborhood of an incubator for artists. Now developers on Winter Street and elsewhere have established the largest concentration of art studios in the U.S. RH: Most young Houstonians know you for your giant statue of Sam Houston on I-45 just south of Huntsville, your home town, and your bronze sculpture of George Bush Sr. has stood in a prominent location in Terminal C of the Houston airport named for him. Was the Sam Houston statue a real estate play?

“My secret to a happy life: Do only what you love to do.”

– David Adickes

DA: Indirectly, yes, but not for me and my donors. Several of us contributed and built the statue and gave it to the City to honor the 200th anniversary of Sam Houston's birth. Today TXDOT is creating a special feeder direct to the base of the statue.

The real estate benefit has been to the reputation, businesses, and hotels of the City of Huntsville, which was formerly known primarily for being headquarters for the state prison system. 1,250,000 visitors have registered at the Visitors Center since 1994, not counting the millions who drive by and enjoy the statue without stopping.

RH: Where did you move your art studio when you sold the Summer Street warehouse?

DA: I moved to Nance Street in the Warehouse District and built a 5,000 SF building.

TXDOT has plans to condemn it in about two years to build a large overpass, so we will see how that works out.

RH: Can you tell our readers your views about how art increases the value of real estate in a community?

DA: Huntsville is one example. In the Sawyer Street area near my old paint factory studio, ART is all around, including an art store, auction house, studios, and a party venue upstairs in my former studio that rents for as much as $10,000 per night. It has specialized as a marriage venue for super star athletes (I don't know if you can rent it for half price for a divorce party!)

I currently am leasing my four giant Beatles statues to the Eighth Wonder Brewery and Beer Garden in Eado. I must assume the owners feel these sculptures add value.

Nearby the City has razed a long stretch of Bastrop Street, which will be turned into a mini-Discovery Green for the near East Side. Art will figure prominently in this new park, along with trees and other amenities to create an aesthetic focal point for real estate development.

RH: Your are in your nineties and show no signs of slowing down. Can you tell us of any current or future projects and is there a secret to your Fountain of Energy?

DA: People tell me all the time that I should retire, but I checked my tires and I still have 30-40,000 miles on them. But the fork lift I use to move around my giant sculptures needs tires. Does anyone know where I can find some used ones?

And my secret to a happy life: Do only what you love to do. Easy to say, right?

Everyone has to make a living, but make that living doing what you truly love.

civil fair play

Dealing with Deed Restrictions BY: OMAR IZFAR, ATTORNEY, WILSON CRIBBS+GOREN

Private covenants and restrictions, often simply called “deed restrictions,” run with the land, bind future owners, and usually affect what you can do with your property. Deed restrictions for residential neighborhoods contain a variety of rules that impact development, such as land use controls, setback, lot size, and frontage rules.

28

JUNE 2018

I often see extremely old deed restrictions that don’t adequately address the needs of the current property owners, yet they are still in effect and enforceable. As cities continue to urbanize and developers find infill opportunities, outdated restrictions clash with modern development goals. Modifying these deed restrictions can be challenging and often requires professional assistance.

Restrictions on commercial property, unlike restrictions for residential neighborhoods, are typicallymore recently drafted and often easier to amend, but may still contain land use restrictions and other provisions that interfere with new development plans.

So my deed restrictions seem to interfere with my proposed development.

What can I do?

There are a few options. The more straightforward approach is to attempt to amend the restrictions.

Many older restrictions do not contain thorough amendment procedures, if they contain any at all.

That often leaves property owners relying on provisions of state law that allow for amendments approved by a certain percentage of property

owners affected by the restrictions. Gathering the votes needed to approve an amendment requires leg work that includes getting in touch with the other property owners and securing their consent to the amendment. If you get this far, once recorded, the amendment serves as the new deed restrictions affecting your property. Deed restrictions that contain amendment procedures can also pose their own problems, especially if there are specific windows for the timing of restrictions. Few sets of deed restrictions are exactly alike and need to be studied on a case by case basis to determine your options.

If an amendment is not feasible, and if you have good reason to believe the restrictions are not enforceable, you’ll have to file a lawsuit to have a judge declare that the deed restrictions are not enforceable. This can be based on the fact that enough property owners violate the restrictions that they have effectively been waived, or there is a change in circumstances that justifies treating the restrictions as unenforceable, or other reasons. Unfortunately, this is not fast or cheap, and requires you to sue all the individual property owners affected by the restrictions all at once.

Sometimes, but not often, the deed restrictions are not enforceable at all. There are methods under state law to reconstitute lapsed deed restrictions that are highly technical, complicated, and very easy to mess up. Sometimes, the mistakes render the deed restrictions completely void.

Sometimes, your development is the type that is protected by law, and the deed restrictions that prevent the development are not enforceable.

Again, these kinds of issues have to be examined on a case by case basis.

So what happens if I just ignore the deed restrictions? Several properties already violate these restrictions!

Why do I have to comply?

People used to be able to get permits much more easily than today. Older developments that violate the restrictions may have been approved without much scrutiny. Their existence

is no guarantee that you will get approvals or escape lawsuits against your proposed development. I would not recommend that anybody take the steps that people used to take to get projects approved that would violate deed restrictions.

So what happens if you ignore the restrictions?

In the first place, you will not be able to get a building permit. Securing permits these days typically requires the permit applicant to sign an affidavit that the plans will not violate any deed restrictions. Not being completely truthful about this is a crime in the State of Texas.

You will also not be able to plat your property if your proposed development violates the deed restrictions. Cities and counties are prohibited by state law from approving subdivision plats that violate deed restrictions.

Worst of all, you’ll set yourself up to be sued.

Deed restrictions are typically enforceable in court by any of the individual property owners bound by the restrictions or by a property owners association. The City of Houston also has the unique ability to file suit on behalf of a property owner to enforce deed restrictions, with the result that the City’s taxpayers collectively bear the cost of deed restriction enforcement rather than the individuals that benefit from those restrictions.

That means that older areas with inactive property owners associations and several examples of deed restriction violations still contain individual property owners that can file suit to potentially prevent your development.
