About Us

Wilson & Stonaker, L.L.C. ("W&S") is a full service commercial investment real estate firm. While W&S does some tenant and owner representation work, the majority of its focus is on the acquisition, development, and syndication of value-added real estate transactions. This work is both for its own account and the accounts of its investors and third party brokerage engagements. William E. Stonaker is the company's manager.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, William E. Stonaker ("Stonaker") was active in the rejuvenation of Old East Dallas, especially the "M" streets and the Swiss and Gaston Avenue areas in the purchase and rehabilitation of historic single and multi-family residential properties.

During the mid-1980s, Stonaker became active in the Oak Lawn Design District and the Stemmons Freeway Trinity Industrial area in purchasing office warehouse and showroom properties. Later, that was expanded to include properties in North Dallas.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Stonaker was involved in the disposition of several large office and office showroom properties for the FDIC and other government contractors. It was at this time that he also became interested in the value added approach of purchasing properties which were prime for a use change, re-tenanting, and development of land properties. Those properties were sold.

CURRENT FOCUS

In 1996, Wilson & Stonaker, L.L.C. moved its offices to Tarrant County to be better positioned to take advantage of the fast growing Tarrant County and south Denton County markets. The company's first major investment in this area was as a participant (with several of its investors) in a thirteen acre tract of land in Keller, Texas. The tract was sold to Minyard's Grocery Stores after a pad site was sold to McDonald's.

The majority of our time is being spent on horizontal land development and some vertical development retail projects. The areas we are focused on at present range from far north Fort Worth in Denton County to the south in Mansfield. We are working on one new project - our MacArthur Vista Ridge development that is adjacent to Vista Ridge Mall in Lewisville. We are currently developing Landmark Lakes II in NW Fort Worth which includes a Lowe's and Best Buy along with restaurant pads and other users. Also in NW Fort Worth is Landmark Quebec, a 206 acre mixed use development that will break ground in April 2006.
