Steve Alvis is the co-founder and managing partner of NewQuest Properties. He took a leave of absence from Texas A&M Veterinary School and started Quest Properties in 1985 as the savings and loan crisis began. Alvis sold REO portfolios for failed savings and loans and accumulated approximately 40 shopping centers in Texas.
Later, Alvis utilized his real estate experience to begin building retail developments which included Cinemark’s first all-stadium seating theater, as well as the first 24 Hour Fitness in the market. NewQuest continues to represent them both, along with their real estate needs across Texas.
In 2001, Alvis combined talents with Jay Sears, forming NewQuest Properties, to develop grocery-anchored power centers. NewQuest soon became Albertson’s largest developer, and as Kroger acquired the Albertson’s locations, NewQuest then became Kroger’s single largest developer in Texas.

Today, NewQuest currently represents more than 75 national, regional and local tenants throughout Texas.... Read More
