On the newest episode of The FORT Podcast, our CEO, Chris Powers, sits down with Craig Hall, Founder & Chairman of HALL Group. When speaking about the current economic environment of real estate, Craig spoke on the struggle of real estate in the 1980's and why a depression like the 1980's is unlikely to happen in today's environment. "It's a very different time. One of the dominant lending sources of the time was savings and loans. They don't even exist anymore. In general, and there were good points to this, but the whole idea of having a banker that you shake hands and you make a deal, those days are gone too. We're a different society in terms of how business is done. And some of that's unfortunate, but most of it's good. Most of it's important. Deals are much more carefully thought through in terms of the economics." Hall's comments speak to some concerns investors may have during a cycle that hasn't been favorable to a lot of sectors. It's important to learn from our past, but even more so, it is important to recognize how current market environments are different than they have been during previous times of strife. Tune in to hear Craig and Chris speak on surviving the 1980s, building businesses, current market environments, and more on this week's episode. https://hubs.ly/Q02Vkgv-0 | #Entrepreneurship #REInvesting #TheFORTPodcast

Election cycles can cause uncertainty for many investors, often attributed to political biases and a belief that one party may be better for their investments than another. But do the numbers agree with investor sentiments? Since 2000, the industrial industry has averaged roughly 10.9% in annual total returns and has displayed an indifference to the winning political party. In fact, with the exception of the Great Recession years, there is little variance in returns attributed to presidential parties compared to the average, as shown below. So, while uncertainty can be alarming, it is important to rely on fundamentals and remain disciplined in your investments. Remember, sentiment does not control market conditions — and clarity, regardless of the outcome, often leads to heightened returns in following years. Those who miss the returns will be kicking themselves for missing out. #ElectionCycles #IndustrialReturns #IndustrialRE

On the newest episode of The FORT Podcast, our CEO, Chris Powers, sits down to talk with Robert Allen, CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership. During the discussion, Robert had this to say about ongoing nearshoring happening in Mexico: "I don't subscribe to a notion that I'm going to wake up on a Tuesday, three years from now, and there's going to be some report that says nearshoring is complete. (…) look at what is happening in the manufacturing sector in Mexico alone. You've got a tremendous amount of name brands that are putting some large footprints just south of us. (…) I think what you're going to see is a continuation of people wanting to get to the states, wanting to get to key states in the United States that have made crystal clear that they're pro-business." The strengthening manufacturing sector in Mexico is emblematic of a desire to bring cost savings, improve supply lines, and emphasize a regional approach to distribution sectors throughout the United States. What we've seen in the growth of the manufacturing sector in Mexico is large companies' willingness to improve on the supply chain, a bullish sentiment for a firm dealing in industrial, and even more so for one dealing in Texas. Tune in to hear Chris and Robert discuss nearshoring efforts, Fort Worth's future, and more. #Leadership #IndustryInnovation #TheFORTPodcast
