Complex Texas industrial sites, taken from raw land to shovel-ready.

Lynx Advisory leads the entitlements, approvals, and infrastructure work that stall other projects, and coordinates public financing such as MUDs and TIRZs where a project calls for it. The firm is led by Carmen Pearson, P.E., a licensed civil engineer and development executive with more than 20 years delivering institutional-grade industrial parks across the Houston, Austin, and San Antonio markets.

About

Carmen Pearson, P.E.

Founder & Principal

Carmen has spent more than two decades on both sides of Texas development: as an engineer designing and sealing the infrastructure, and as the developer accountable for entitlements, infrastructure, and delivery. Lynx Advisory is built on that dual perspective, and it shapes every engagement. Clients get the technical depth to spot a problem early and the deal sense to solve it without stalling the schedule.
