This family- owned business, led by David Escobedo, has carved a unique niche in the high-end residential construction market. Through a recent interview with David Escobedo, it became evident that the company’s success is rooted in a deep-seated commitment to quality and a forward-thinking approach to construction. A Legacy of Craftsmanship The Escobedo Group's story is one of generational expertise and evolving vision. David Escobedo recalls the origins of the company, tracing it back to his father’s post-World War II era endeavors. "My father started the company after he got out of World War II when he saw the need for houses.” After the war, the returning soldiers faced the challenge of reintegrating into civilian life and needed to find new careers. David's father and his friends saw an opportunity in the burgeoning housing market, driven by the post-war economic boom and the demand for new homes. “Initially, they began building houses in Corpus Christi, Texas, capitalizing on the skills they had acquired during the war and the camaraderie they had developed. "It was a time of great optimism and opportunity," David explains.
