As an integral part of Friendswood’s growth, he played a key role in the purchase, planning, and development of Kingwood, Woodlake, Greenspoint, Copperfield, Clear Lake City, and other substantial projects throughout the greater Houston area. In 1980 Mr. Griffin, with Conley Juban, formed Griffin/Juban Companies, the predecessor to Griffin Partners.
