Colin Fitzgibbons, a rising force in Dallas real estate whose fingerprints are on some of the region’s most ambitious mixed-use plays, has died at 46.

Fitzgibbons, president of Hunt Realty Investments, died from complications related to cancer, according to the Dallas Morning News, which first reported his passing. Hunt CEO Chris Kleinert called him an exceptional leader whose mix of intellect, loyalty and dry humor helped guide the firm through a stretch of major projects across the metroplex.

A Dallas native, Fitzgibbons came to the business from an unconventional path. After a stint as a sports reporter at the Washington Post, he shifted to commercial real estate at the Staubach Company in New York before returning home to earn an MBA from SMU. That pivot set him up for the role that first put him on the industry’s radar: a decade at KDC, where he helped steer two market-defining developments — Richardson’s $1.5 billion CityLine and Plano’s $3 billion Legacy West — along with Liberty Mutual’s 1-million-square-foot regional campus. Legacy West, in particular, became central to his professional story; he once described it as the project he was most proud of, crediting the business for rewarding “people who hustle.”
