David Craig

Owner

Craig International

David Craig is a visionary and works tirelessly to push the boundaries of his development

projects. The proud son of a retired Air Force colonel, David learned the value of hard work and

dedication at a very young age. He founded Craig International, a commercial brokerage and

development company more than 40 years ago in McKinney, Texas and the company has grown

to control and/or develop well in excess of 10,000 acres in Collin and Grayson Counties since it

was founded.

David’s motivation and passion are evidenced by the success of Craig Ranch, a McKinney, Texas

award-winning master-planned community that he founded more than 20 years ago with a

current ad valorem value in excess of $4 billion. He began with 1,125 acres of farmland and it is

now a thriving, 2,200-acre community with commercial, residential, and mixed-use retail

anchored by the TPC Craig Ranch, which is currently the new home of the AT&T Byron Nelson

Classic. David is the Chairman of the Board of Governors of TPC Craig Ranch and is Chairman of

the TPC Craig Ranch Host Committee for the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Craig Ranch knows no limits and the development has always been on the cutting edge, way

before New Urbanism was embraced. David’s vision has been realized in the 500 acres of parks

and green space, the 270-acre employment district, the McKinney Corporate Center Craig Ranch.

One of David’s current projects is District 121, a destination retail, corporate, and restaurant

development adjacent to Craig Ranch.

The biggest benefit of having David involved in the day-to­day activity of the firm’s development

projects is that he is laser-focused on detail, and he makes sure every project is built in the best,

most innovative and efficient way possible.

David’s passion for business carries over to the many cause-related issues Craig International

supports including the Love Life Foundation, The Boys and Girls Club of America - Collin County;

The Family Place; Habitat for Humanity; The Samaritan Inn; Smiles Charity; and American Heart

Association, only to name a few.
