Under his leadership as President of Hillwood Residential for the past decade, Fred Balda has distinguished this division as one of the Top Ten Development Companies in the country.  He has not only overseen development of Hillwood’s 20,000 lots and 60 master-planned communities, but he has also boosted the Residential portfolio with recent acquisitions that span the United States and extend to Costa Rica.

 Since 1988, Hillwood Residential has been creating neighborhoods with amenities and beautiful landscaping, supported by Home Owners Associations, designed to generate community involvement.  Balda continues to redefine the Residential business plan while he actively pursues acquisitions, joint ventures and third party opportunities throughout Texas and across the nation.

 Balda plays an active role in the local real estate market as a member of ULI, Real Estate Council, Plano Chamber of Commerce and the Home Builder’s Association of Greater Dallas.  He is a sought after speaker and panelist at many real estate seminars. 

 Balda began his career as a Project Engineer on various construction projects for the H.B. Zachry Company in 1983.  He launched his real estate career in 1985 with Trammell Crow Company as Project Manager of master-planned communities throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth market.  During his tenure with Club Corporation of America (1990-1992), he added golf course development and entitlement to his field of expertise.

 Balda graduated from Texas A&M University in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, with an emphasis in Construction Management.
