About Us :
History of Clayton, Williams and Sherwood
In 1969, Jim Clayton and Bill Williams raised capital from family and friends to purchase a small apartment community in Huntington Beach, California. Jim and Bill personally invested in the property and managed it themselves. In the early 1970's Jim and Bill saw an investment opportunity in under valued mobile home parks in Texas, offering potential for growth in equity, with less risk than apartments. Sharing their vision, Steve Sherwood teamed with Bill and Jim in 1977 to create the firm of Clayton, Williams, and Sherwood. Over the next several years, the three partners embarked on an ambitious investment campaign. They acquired additional mobile home parks in Texas and other Sun Belt states. By 1986, Clayton, Williams, and Sherwood had become the largest owner and operator of mobile home parks in the United States. In 1990, as the equity in the mobile home parks in Florida and California matured, CWS repositioned equity from these parks into apartment communities in Austin, Texas. When opportunity shifted to new construction as the region flourished, CWS developed luxury apartment communities.
In late 1998, CWS formed a private REIT with Security Capital Group, and transferred their manufactured housing portfolio to form CWS Communities. The remaining entities now operate under the parent company of CWS Capital Partners, LLC.
History of CWS Corporate Housing
CWS Corporate Housing began in 1995 when Tracy Hayes saw a business opportunity while working for CWS as a Community Director. Tracy approached the leaders of CWS with her idea, and it was agreed that she would begin leasing fully furnished corporate apartments as a side venture while maintaining her position as Community Director. After six months, Tracy had grown the number of leases to a point that she was able to devote her energy full time to corporate housing. CWS Corporate Housing produced $17,000,000 in revenue in 2006 and currently has 7 regional offices which include: Houston, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Charlotte and Raleigh. Nationwide needs are met through relationships with our preferred partners. CWS was recently awarded The Provider of The Year by the Corporate Housing Providers Association.
