Legendary Dallas real estate developer Trammell Crow died Wednesday night at his East Texas ranch.
Crow a Dallas native that became a worldwide icon in the real estate business had been ill for some time.
His career, which spanned more than five decades, included building everything from modest Trinity River district warehouses to resorts and commercial buildings in Europe and in the Far East.
His soaring projects were major additions to the skylines of cities across the country, including Atlanta and San Francisco
He was Americas greatest developer, Dallas developer Mack Pogue, a long time friend and former partner, said Thursday. I hope people remember him for that.
In Dallas, he had a hand in building dozens and dozens of buildings including six downtown skyscrapers, the Dallas Market Center and the huge Hilton Anatole Hotel.
The world will remember Mr. Crow as a legendary real estate developer and businessman because of his unparalleled vision and passion for success, Jim Carreker, a former CEO of Trammell Crow Co. and Wyndham Hotels and a long time family friend, said Thursday in a statement. But to those who were fortunate to know him personally, we will remember his humor and upbeat personality along with his uncompromising honesty, integrity and character.
