Known For

  • Founding Weitzman after nearly 30 years in the Texas real estate business, including leadership roles at Henry S. Miller and Grubb & Ellis.

Career and Focus

Weitzman began his career at Henry S. Miller and later worked with Grubb & Ellis, spending roughly three decades in Texas commercial real estate before founding The Weitzman Group and Cencor Realty Services in 1989–1990. The firm opened during a severe Texas real estate downturn and focused on the state’s major metropolitan markets. It subsequently expanded from Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin into Houston and San Antonio.

The company’s work covers retail project leasing, tenant representation, investment sales, development, property management and asset management. Its history describes development and leasing projects including Austin’s mixed-use Triangle, The Shops at Southlake and the Crossing at 288 in the Houston area. Current company materials report approximately 44 million square feet leased and more than 22 million square feet managed; these figures describe the firm’s platform, not Weitzman’s personal production. He remains executive chairman. Industry recognition has included the Dallas Business Hall of Fame and the Urban Land Institute’s Impact Award. His profile is especially tied to Texas retail real estate and the long-term expansion of a locally rooted services firm.
