About
Real Estate .O.GULS
Meet Christopher Senegal, President of Invictus Development Group. He launched Invictus Development Group to revitalize disinvested communities. His projects are featured in several news outlets highlighting how he successfully brings development back to communities that once thrived. He has a threefold approach, starting with single-family, new construction that targets young working professionals. Next is the acquisition of existing rental portfolios to mitigate the displacement of long-term community residents. In July 2020, he completed his first successful Regulation CF Crowdfund Round that raised $1M+ of equity within the community to acquire and redevelop a mixed-use portfolio. He created a model of collective ownership that keeps residents in their homes while investors benefit from property value appreciation and value-add commercial assets in redeveloping neighborhoods.
Chris develops commercial multi-family housing to attract a broader urban working professional tenant base All of his projects are in the heart of Houston’s gentrifying 5th ward. Christopher brings strong community relationships and buy-in to the team. He is currently the only African-American development partner with the Houston Housing Authority. His corporate engineering background is in ground-up railroad terminal development. He owns Commercial Rail Solutions which assists private rail terminal operators with site selection, planning and zoning, terminal, design, and business development. Over the past 16 years, he has led three significant projects, one for Canadian National Railroad in Memphis, TN, and two projects in Lake Charles, LA, one for BNSF railroad and the second for a private terminal operator Rail Logix. Christopher Senegal attended Southern University and graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. It is his mission to see Zero Displacement Re-Development, by providing consulting, mentorship, speaking engagements, and investment opportunities.
