Founders & Principals
 As
co-founder & CEO, Jose
Miguel Berlanga, shares
his brother’s passion
for the home-building industry
but focuses his energies and
skills into different areas
of the company, such as the
Land Acquisition and Financial
transactions that are vital
to the growth and continued
success of Tricon Homes. Jose
Miguel has a Business degree
from the University of St.Thomas
here in Houston. His vision
and 20+ years of business experience
(within several industries)
has allowed him the ability
to see the potential in many
inner-loop neighborhoods where
Tricon Homes has pioneered in
the efforts to rejuvenate and
revitalize these areas, within
the last 10 years, with homes
that fit the needs of buyers,
but maintain a sense of place
within the neighborhoods in
which they are built.
Jose Miguel makes this vision of a “better Houston” possible not just by locating ideal lots, but also by acquiring the financing necessary to make the purchase of the lots possible as well as the construction of the homes that make the vision a reality. His financial wizardry, business experience and charismatic personality are key factors in his success as a person who is determined to “find a way” through his hard work and determination. Whether it is to acquire the optimum land for the next Tricon home or whether it is working with Sales Agents to ensure that every potential home-buyer is able to acquire the home of their dreams, Jose Miguel, “makes the deal happen”.
As co-founder & President, Tristan Berlanga, has always been passionate about Architecture and construction so he finds extreme satisfaction and reward in designing and building homes. From the initial days of the company, Tristan has been involved directly in the design of the dozens of floor-plans that have been built by the company. Tristan has degrees in Architecture and Environmental Design from the University of Houston. His ability to define space in a variety of ways and styles within a given lot size have definitely been a part of the appeal of the homes built by Tricon Homes.
By integrating the departments of Land Development, Design, Purchasing, Construction and Warranty into one company, Tristan has also conceived the notion that building homes that are planned from start to finish (and beyond) under one roof allows a better opportunity for success because everyone involved is working in synergy with a common goal in mind. This goal is to “build unique and quality homes that feature state-of-the-art amenities yet have an enduring appeal; homes that are deliberately designed with the consideration of the people that live in them as well as the people and neighborhoods around them; homes that are built to bring people a sense of peace and an enriched lifestyle without the custom home price!"
