Brett Landes Net Worth 2026: Landes Group Founder and CEO

No reputable outlet publishes a net worth figure for Brett Landes, so this page does not give one. The $37 million number this profile used to show, along with its yearly, monthly and daily income figures, had no source and has been removed. What the record does show: Landes is the founder, president and CEO of The Landes Group, a Dallas firm that buys single-tenant, net-leased buildings, and his company biography credits him with more than $14 billion in single-tenant acquisitions over a career that began in 1992.

What Is Brett Landes' Net Worth?

There is no credible published estimate. Forbes, Bloomberg and Celebrity Net Worth do not track him, and the round figures on content-farm sites cite nothing. His firm is private, so it reports no revenue, profit or ownership split.

The large dollar amounts attached to his name are transaction volumes, not personal wealth. According to his Landes Group biography, the company has acquired more than 900 single-tenant properties worth over $6 billion since 2006. The firm's website puts the total for The Landes Group and its affiliates at more than $27 billion in single-tenant transactions. Those numbers describe the value of buildings bought and sold, much of it with lenders' and investors' money, so they cannot be turned into a net worth.

What can be said is that his wealth rests on three things: a long-running real estate investment firm he controls, earlier work building Staubach Capital Partners, and a food company he founded and sold.

Yearly Earnings and Income

Landes's salary and income are not public. The Landes Group is privately held and does not file public financial statements, and no news report has disclosed what he earns. The old figures on this page (about $1.25 million a year) were invented and have been removed.

His income comes from the business model of the firm. The Landes Group buys properties already leased to investment-grade tenants, often through sale-leasebacks, and collects rent under long triple-net leases, where the tenant pays taxes, insurance and upkeep. LoopNet's company profile lists major tenants including CVS, Walgreens, Wawa, 7-Eleven, Service King, Tire Kingdom and NTB, and says the firm and its affiliates have owned property in 40 states. It also arranges 1031 and 1033 tax-deferred exchanges.

Professional Life

Staubach Capital Partners

Landes started in commercial real estate in 1992 at The Staubach Company, the Dallas firm founded by former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach. In 1995 he founded Staubach Capital Partners there, focused on buying single-tenant properties through sale-leasebacks. His company biography says he has partnered with Staubach on a number of ventures, including setting up SCP Capital (The Landes Group).

A 2006 profile in D CEO described him as running several businesses at once: his own development and investment firms, a partnership in the real estate company Vintage Interests, the role of main shareholder in a tortilla maker, and a principal's seat at Staubach Capital Partners, which the magazine credited with $9 billion in acquisitions.

The Landes Group

The Landes Group was founded in 2007 and is based in Dallas, according to the company's August 2026 press release; Landes's own biography dates his leadership of its acquisitions to 2006. The firm works out of offices on Fairmount Street in Dallas and, per LoopNet, runs with a staff of roughly 11 to 13 people.

The firm's news archive lists deals that show its scale over time:

• 2010: acquisition of 313 CVS Pharmacy stores, followed later that year by 36 more CVS locations.
• 2018: purchases of CVS stores in North Carolina, Georgia and Charlotte, three Firestone locations and a Tire Kingdom in Winter Park, Florida.
• 2019: refinancing of 14 CVS stores.
• 2021: a $40 million purchase of 11 Chase bank branches in California.
• 2024: a $19.8 million retail property in Kansas City, a Fiesta Mart grocery in Lewisville, Texas, and healthcare deals including a lab facility in central Illinois and a University Hospital building in Mentor, Ohio.
• 2025: a pediatric clinic acquisition.

Other businesses

Landes founded Landes Foods in 2004. The company supplied tortillas and chips to large customers such as Brinker International and Tyson Foods, and he led it until it was sold in 2016 (The Landes Group). He is also a partner in Vintage Interests, which buys warehouse property in the Southwest.

Dallas development and the Hard Rock site

Landes also worked as a local developer. In January 2008 the former McKinney Avenue Baptist Church, built in 1910 and later home to the Hard Rock Cafe, was demolished on his orders. The Dallas Observer reported that city council member Angela Hunt said he had earlier promised to preserve the building; the city's Landmark Commission had declined to give it landmark status, so no penalty applied. Landes told the paper that he had spent about $250,000 keeping the building going while searching for a tenant, that no one took it, and that it could not be saved. In May 2008 he announced plans for a 16-story, 141-unit apartment tower on the 0.85-acre site, which the Observer put at $40 million.

Recent Deals (2025-2026)

The firm has moved further into healthcare real estate. In March 2026 The Landes Group and Chicago-based Farpoint Development bought Silver Cross Hospital's Pavilion A, a medical office building of nearly 175,000 square feet in New Lenox, Illinois, from PGIM Real Estate. The 2012 building was 96% leased, with Silver Cross occupying roughly half (press release via The Columbus Dispatch).

In August 2026 the firm completed its purchase of Encore Medical Center, a 108,055-square-foot hospital in Bryant, Arkansas, and signed a long-term lease with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, which will run it. Landes called it one of the more intricate deals the firm had done. The release said lender CGA Capital's relationship with the firm has covered more than $1.2 billion in completed transactions (PR Newswire release).

Family

The Landes Group is a family business. Its team page lists Austin Landes and Caleb Landes as partners and Carson Landes as a senior associate. Austin joined in 2014 and Caleb in 2016. The earlier version of this page named a wife; we could not confirm that detail in a reliable source, so it has been removed. Landes has not made his family life public.

Education

Landes holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Bryan College, where he was an All-American basketball player, according to his company biography. The old claim that he also earned a master's degree there is not supported by any source and has been dropped.

Age

No source gives his birth date. The May 2006 D CEO profile gave his age as 46, which would put him at about 66 in 2026. The height and weight figures on the earlier page had no source and have been removed.

Charity and Interests

His biography lists support for Cattle Barons, St. Paul Medical and Little Heroes through fundraising and sponsorship. The 2006 D CEO piece was mostly about his other passion: a high-end home theater and audio room built behind his Fairmount Street offices.

How This Page Was Checked

Every fact above comes from The Landes Group's own website, company press releases, LoopNet's company profile, D CEO and the Dallas Observer. Company figures such as the $27 billion and $14 billion totals are the firm's own claims and have not been independently audited.
