Our Company

Our Story

LCJ Companies is a family owned and operated real estate company with Texas roots going back to 1981.

What started as the Washburn Group, founded by three brothers: Larry, Charles, and James Washburn, became a growing company holding the same values they built it on.

In 2003, the next generation of Washburns took over daily operations and the company became LCJ Companies, led by cousins Jim and Craig Washburn.

Today LCJ manages a growing portfolio of multifamily communities across Texas, with construction and development projects across the Gulf Coast states and beyond. Our work has carried us from San Antonio, up to Fort Worth, down to Galveston Island, across Greater Houston, and all the way out to Florida and Virginia.

We build, buy, renovate, and manage three kinds of housing:

• Affordable communities funded through rural and government housing programs
• Market rate apartment communities
• Single family townhomes and new developments

Our Focus

To give every Texan the chance at a safe and affordable place to live.
