As many homeowners in the loop have lamented, the future of some of the area’s new houses and town homes is dubious, to say the least. They may look OK now, but how about five, 10 or 20 years from now? That is exactly why all of us should be applauding the excellence, style and attention to detail found in the homes constructed by Tricon Development. Jose and Tristan Berlanga, owners of Tricon Homes, immigrated to Houston over fifteen years ago from Mexico. They both came here to start a better life. They are both immigrants who deeply appreciate what the U.S. has to offer,

You can have talent, great ideas, energy and be willing to work very hard but, in other parts of the world, those qualities still won’t get you anywhere. Here, in the U.S. those same qualities are greatly rewarded.”

Jose Berlanga

Jose and Tristan started Tricon Developers in 1997 and realized right from the start that they needed to specialize. They now focus on single-family residence in the inner loop. ‘Their company has grown from a two-man shop to one with annual billings of $30 million, projected for this year.  Despite a growing volume of business, or perhaps because of it, the brothers are at work, 24/7. 

As the architect, Tristan personally oversees as much as humanly possible. He selects sites, determines designs, finishes, oversees the construction and even does the marketing. While Jose keeps a close eye on the finances. “We’re in it for the long run,” states Jose. “We stand behind our products. I don’t just build a house and walk away. After all, we are not just builders to our customers, we’re neighbors,” concludes the inner-looper. “There’s no sense of accomplishment like taking a piece of property that is contributing absolutely nothing to the community, visualizing it’s potential, and then making it happen,” says Tristan. “It’s the ‘before and after’ that I find so intriguing.”

A dream the brothers share is to eventually provide more variety and styles of homes. “I’d love to be able to offer what we do to lower-income buyers,” says Tristan. Imagine – a developer with the dream of charging less to serve families with fewer advantages. It speaks volumes about the hearts of these two businessmen. In the meantime, the future looks bright for Tricon’s Developers. Jose and Tristan wouldn’t have it any other way. They are both optimistic by nature, especially in a town with so much growth and potential, and in a country with so much opportunity.

Partners and brothers Tristan and Jose Miguel Berlanga combine their expertise and talents in the home building industry, contributing to the success of Tricon Homes. The duo entered the business over 11 years ago, satisfying their passion for architecture and construction. Since that time, the company has seen steady growth and high customer satisfaction. Tricon Homes plays a vital role in urban development throughout the Houston area, building in numerous areas of the city. When purchasing a Tricon Homes home, buyers have a wide inventory of homes in different styles with various locations to choose from. In addition to the many neighborhoods Tristan and Jose Miguel have built in, they recently finished development in the extraordinary downtown community of Commerce Lofts.

CUSTOM FEATURES WITHOUT THE CUSTOM HOME PRICE

As “spec”-home builders, Tristan and Jose Miguel build the structure of each home before it is sold . Customers are offered flexibility in upgrades and custom features in the Tricon Homes home they purchase. This allows the home buyer to have variety and quality at a very competitive price.

Tristan and Jose Miguel ‘s commitment to excellence is shared by their team of employees, thereby reflecting in the superior quality and craftsmanship integrated into each Tricon Homes home. Each team member is fully dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction with each home sale.

“We build each home as if a member of our own family is
moving into it. We do not take shortcuts and we never compromise
quality. We strive to build our foundations and frames
beyond what is required by building codes, because these are
the most important portions of a house”

Tristan Berlanga
