Richard R. Reupke has been a partner and Chief Financial Officer at Columbus Realty Partners since the firm's inception in 1999, and has over 35 years experience in real estate development, finance, and accounting. Prior to joining Columbus Realty Partners, Richard served as Chief Financial Officer for MacFarlan Real Estate Services, preceded by his career as Chief Financial Officer for Columbus Realty Trust (NYSE:CLB), a publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust based in Dallas.  Richard managed the financial team involved in taking CLB public with Robert Shaw in 1993, as the successor to several affiliated multifamily companies of The Staubach Company.   During his 4 year tenure with CLB, the Company grew from approximately $150 million to $500 million in assets, and from approximately 2,000 apartments to over 7,000 units.

Since Columbus’ return to a private partnership in 1999, Richard has managed the equity/ debt transactions and relationships for development of more than 13,000 apartments units & mixed use projects with a total capitalization of over $2 billion.

Robert Shaw is Managing Partner of Columbus Realty Partners, Ltd., which traces its roots back to 1987 when he created his first company to pursue the creation of walkable, live, work, play neighborhoods.  Underlying this idea was a fundamental optimism about cities, their urban cores, and long term viability.  At the time, such optimism was not widely shared, so the difficulty of attracting private capital to pursue this strategy led Mr. Shaw to take the idea to Wall Street.  In 1993, he took his company public as Columbus Realty Trust, a REIT traded on the NYSE (symbol “CLB”).

With public capital in place, Columbus was able to aggressively expand this idea to multiple cities, and over a four year time frame fully proved the market demand.  The success of his projects helped kick off a renaissance of residential living in the American city urban core that continues to this day.  In 1997 he merged CLB with Post Properties, and in 1999 resumed operations as a private company to continue his life’s work. Since that time he has been involved in the development of over 13,000 apartments, condominiums and townhomes along with neighborhood based retail space.  Much of that development has been in urban areas in such diverse neighborhoods as Uptown Dallas, Uptown Denver, Midtown and Downtown Houston, Downtown Austin, Downtown Plano, Downtown McKinney, the Cultural District of Fort Worth and the Roosevelt Historic District in Phoenix.  Mr. Shaw has also been significantly involved in the creation of large suburban mixed use master developments such as Addison Circle, Legacy Town Center, Legacy West and Domain in Austin.  He has worked in all facets of residential development, including construction management, development and property management.  

Mr. Shaw attended the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship, where he was honored as Team Captain and named to the All-SEC team in 1978.  He was the first round draft pick for the Dallas Cowboys in 1979, playing three years before a career ending knee injury.  While playing for the Cowboys, he continued his education at the University of Texas in Dallas and received a B.A. in Business in 1981.

Prior to his retirement in July of 2018, Roger T. Staubach was Executive Chairman of JLL Americas, a professional services firm specializing in real estate.  Roger’s role focused on client relationships and new business development. With 2017 global revenue of $7.9 billion, JLL serves clients in 80 countries from more than 1,000 locations worldwide, including 300 corporate offices and a global workforce of 82,000. 

The firm offers integrated services delivered by expert teams worldwide to clients seeking increased value by owning, occupying or investing in real estate.

LaSalle Investment Management, the company’s investment management business, is one of the worlds largest and most diverse in real estate with more than $47.7 billion of assets under management.

Prior to joining forces with JLL, Roger was Executive Chairman of The Staubach Company, a market leading global real estate advisory firm that delivered cost-effective solutions for office, industrial and retail clients. When Roger entered the commercial real estate industry in 1977 the concept of “user representation” was not widely practiced.  He saw the potential in this idea and was committed from the outset that The Staubach Company would exclusively represent users of space.

He expanded services to meet clients' ever-changing requirements.  Areas of expertise included strategic consulting, site selection, acquisition, disposition, construction consulting / project management, real estate administration, portfolio management, facility management, business and economic incentives and financing and capital solutions. The Staubach Company’s 1,600 people served 3,000+ clients from 70 North American offices and completed 7,280 transactions totaling $28 billion and 200 million square feet during the fiscal year 2007.

Known for its unparalleled standard of business and personal ethics, the company served the following clients: Advanced Micro Devices, Blockbuster Inc., Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Carter & Burgess, Cisco Systems, CVS Corporation, Office Max, Patterson Companies, PBS, PepsiCo, Science Applications International Corporation, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, T-Mobile USA, Target, Time Warner Cable, United Stationers and Wachovia Corporation.

In July 2008, The Staubach Company merged with JLL, bringing together the unique strengths of two powerful organizations into one integrated global company.
