Founder

Jack Coupland

Founder — HQ Commercial Real Estate

Jack brings over a decade of institutional commercial real estate experience to HQ, having spent eleven years leading development and acquisitions at Adams Property Group — responsible for managing more than $700M in transactions spanning retail, flex/industrial, self-storage, and mixed-use assets throughout the Southeast.

His background in architecture — earned at NC State University and practiced early in his career — sharpens every stage of the deal process: from site selection and design feasibility through entitlements, construction oversight, and exit. That lens is rare in commercial real estate and creates a meaningful edge in evaluating and executing deals.

HQ was founded in 2026 to put that expertise to work at the deal sizes and in the markets where the best risk-adjusted opportunities can be realized — partnering directly with investors who want real access to real assets.

When he's not working a deal, Jack can usually be found on a tennis court, in the surf, or out on the water. He and his wife Mary Rob are active members of Grace Cathedral and are kept busy by their daughter Ginny.

HQ Founded

Strategy

Focused. Disciplined.
Opportunistic.

HQ targets retail and flex properties where institutional deal experience — applied at the right scale — produces outsized returns. We stay disciplined about markets, deal size, and deal structure.

A

Acquisitions

Value-add retail and flex. Target deal size $2M–$10M, where larger institutional capital cannot compete and local operators lack execution depth.

D

Development

Ground-up retail and flex along the coastal Southeast corridor — Wilmington, NC to Savannah, GA — with a focus on high-growth submarkets underdeveloped relative to demand.

F

Fee Development

Third-party consulting and development management for owners who need institutional expertise without full-time overhead. An additional revenue stream that keeps the platform active.
