In the Post World War II era, a young George Sebastian followed his passion and began ‘moonlighting’ jobs doing what he loved:  designing and building houses. His first projects were in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas and were part of the housing boom of that time.

UNDER THE NAME OF ‘GEORGE SEBASTIAN, BUILDER’, THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED.

1950's

Capitalizing on some early success, George Sebastian was able to leave behind his accounting and music careers to focus full-time on constructing homes. With most of the work still being in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, his projects had then progressed to both speculative and custom houses.

A long-time investor of George Sebastian's company hired him to do a major renovation of the investor’s own historic home in the affluent Highland Park area of Dallas. Located on prominent Lakeside Drive, this project led to other similar work in that same neighborhood and proved to be a springboard for the company.

To support his growing design-build business, George Sebastian set out hiring people, including architects. As the company was larger and now offered a full array of services, it continued to focus almost entirely on the renovation work that was still trending in the Highland Park and Preston Hollow areas of Dallas.

THE COMPANY PROVIDES DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES ON SIGNIFICANT RENOVATION PROJECTS.

While Sebastian's influence continued to grow, teardowns of older homes in the more prosperous areas of Dallas became more common. This meant that new construction began to comprise a much larger part of the company’s work. Also, George’s son John joined the firm after his graduation from architecture school.

In 1992, after a 44-year career of building homes, George Sebastian passed away. Upon assuming control of the company, John Sebastian eliminated the architecture side of the firm and shifted the focus away from renovation projects. This allowed the company to concentrate solely on the construction management of new, ground up projects. 

GEORGE SEBASTIAN PASSED AWAY IN 1992, AND JOHN ASSUMED CONTROL OF THE COMPANY.

John Sebastian had been developing a long-term plan to build a hybrid construction firm. Such a firm would capture the best of both worlds: the personal attention to detail of a smaller artisan builder along with the systems, processes, and sophistication of a larger commercial construction company. Throughout the 2000’s, that plan became fully realized.

JOHN SEBASTIAN'S PLAN OF A HYBRID CONSTRUCTION FIRM BECAME FULLY REALIZED.

As success continued for the company, it earned national respect and a following with some of the country’s most prominent architects and other industry leaders. This notoriety allowed for strong relationships to be formed with the best and brightest in the field of luxury home design and construction.

THE COMPANY EARNED A FOLLOWING WITH PROMINENT ARCHITECTS AND OTHER INDUSTRY LEADERS.

For the first time in its history, Sebastian put together a leadership team to guide the company into the next 75 years. While this team has opened offices in both Houston and Austin, the Sebastian name continues to be synonymous with excellence within the luxury residential construction market.

THE SEBASTIAN NAME CONTINUES TO BE SYNONYMOUS WITH EXCELLENCE.
