Christopher Senegal attended Southern University, an HBCU, and graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering in 2006. He quickly entered real estate as a second income stream in 2008 as a single-family flipper and rental property owner.
In 2013, Chris launched Invictus Development Group to revitalize disinvested communities. His projects are featured in several news outlets highlighting how he successfully brings development back to communities that once thrived. He has a threefold approach, starting with single-family, new construction that targets young working professionals. Next is the acquisition of existing rental portfolios to mitigate the displacement of long-term community residents. In July 2020, he completed his first successful Regulation CF Crowdfund Round that raised $1M+ of equity within the community to acquire and redevelop a mixed-use portfolio.
He created a model of collective ownership that keeps residents in their homes while investors benefit from property value appreciation and value-add commercial assets in redeveloping neighborhoods.
Lastly, Chris develops commercial multi-family housing to attract a broader urban working professional tenant base. He is currently the only African-American development partner with the Houston Housing Authority.
