Division 1: Savoy Equity Partners

Savoy Equity Partners is the capital formation and investment management division of Savoy Companies.

Signature Project: Bishop Ridge

Barrett and Seth's investment thesis is most visibly demonstrated in Bishop Ridge, a 19-community, 716-unit micro-neighborhood in Oak Cliff, Dallas, assembled primarily on formerly vacant lots and abandoned buildings in an Opportunity Zone. The portfolio represents the largest concentrated multifamily revitalization in Oak Cliff in over 50 years, achieved with zero resident displacement.

Investment Thesis

Savoy Equity Partners targets workforce and attainable multifamily housing in Texas Opportunity Zones and tax-advantaged structures. The firm's vertically integrated model eliminates the misaligned incentives and margin leakage common in traditional sponsor structures. Every dollar of construction profit and management fee stays within the Savoy ecosystem, compounding returns for investors.

Division 2: Savoy General Contractors

The division serves both Savoy-owned assets and third-party clients throughout the Texas Triangle.

Formerly operating as Cardiff Construction, the division rebranded under the Savoy Companies umbrella in early 2026 to reflect its role within the vertically integrated platform.
