Their secret? Working together to manage schedules and control variables.

Wrapping up the IMN Mountain West conference with Clayton Turner. What did we learn? 1. Multifamily market in the area still digesting a lot of supply. Completes at a multi decade high but starts are approaching decade low. It may take two years to work off supply. 2. Local trades, like drywallers, are looking at empty order book 6-9 months out and are panicking. This could be when job losses get real led by the high beta construction jobs. 3. Mountain towns still trying to address affordability issues for workforce housing, but local governments are actively trying to address the problem. Denver is not as helpful on affordable housing. 4. Bids and Offers still far apart but no real sense of panic or distress. Deals don’t pencil yet with rates where they are. Thanks to IMN and the great city of Denver for hosting us.

in this case we could be adding 3.7% GDP per year if we start to meet the targets (including new towns). A jump to this level of development will require more people working in the construction sector in England which is significant challenge to contend with.
