Our Mission
At Landcrest Ventures, we specialize in discovering high-potential, off-market land opportunities that traditional real estate firms often miss. We're not your average brokers chasing public listings—we're dedicated land originators who leverage in-depth infrastructure knowledge, advanced GIS mapping tools, and sharp real estate insights to identify sites with exceptional development potential.
Our multidisciplinary team draws from diverse backgrounds in energy infrastructure, utility planning, and commercial land acquisition, enabling us to assess properties from multiple strategic angles—well before they enter the open market. We facilitate direct connections between landowners and developers to align the perfect sites with innovative projects, reducing complexities, streamlining negotiations, and accelerating timelines.
Landcrest Ventures is committed to cutting through the market noise, uncovering hidden opportunities others overlook, and crafting land deals engineered for sustainable, long-term value and mutual success.

By aligning sites with your unique goals through detailed analysis of growth potential and accessibility, we assist in land acquisition to help accelerate timelines while lowering potential obstacles in the Texas real estate market.
Investment Property
In the realm of investment properties, we focus on land acquisition opportunities that demonstrate strong appreciation potential for investors, land bankers, and 1031 exchange buyers. We emphasize parcels located in emerging corridors or areas that are anticipated to undergo zoning changes and expansion. Each opportunity in Texas real estate is carefully evaluated for its holding value and strategic exit strategies to maximize long-term returns.
Energy & Infrastructure Projects
In energy and infrastructure projects, we focus on identifying investment properties that are suitable for data centers, transmission, and substation development. Leveraging our extensive experience in oil, gas, and electrical infrastructure, we analyze grid connectivity, easements, and surface compatibility to ensure smooth land acquisition for demanding, large-scale initiatives in Texas real estate.
Cross-Sector Land Team
At Landcrest Ventures, our strength lies in a cross-sector partnership that fuses energy infrastructure expertise, utility planning know-how, and commercial land strategy. We don’t just search for land — we originate opportunities overlooked by conventional real estate firms, using a hands-on, data-informed approach to uncover value others miss.
Derrik Meador brings a track record in land acquisition across oil and gas, renewables, and utility infrastructure. With a deep understanding of how land supports real-world development, Derrik combines strong landowner relationships with advanced GIS mapping and rigorous site feasibility analysis. His process evaluates parcels not only for availability but for long-term potential tied to zoning, access, and infrastructure.
Carl Dieckmann, a licensed Texas commercial real estate agent, contributes extensive experience in land transactions and developer relations. Carl stays ahead of market trends and ensures each opportunity aligns with what builders and investors truly need — helping clients cut through delays and move confidently toward acquisition.
