About Jackson's Realty & Builders and Turtle Creek Management

For more than 60 years, Turtle Creek Management (TCM) has transformed communities through exceptional development and construction. Founded in 1962, we are a second-generation, family-owned company built on integrity, quality craftsmanship, accountability, and long-term relationships.

Through our construction division, Jackson's Realty & Builders (JRB), we provide full-service development, construction management, design-build, and general contracting services. Our work includes assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, senior-living campuses, medical facilities, multifamily communities, self-storage, commercial projects, and related site infrastructure.

Because the majority of our work supports companies within our own organization, we build with an owner's mindset. We are not simply focused on completing the next project; we are creating facilities that will serve residents, families, and care teams for years to come.
