HR&A Advisors’ Post

“We are very bullish.” I got to give a “AMEN” to that comment from our president, Ryan Witges, for his inspiring comment in the Summer 2024 edition of NAIOP Development Magazine. If you get a moment, check out the article below. It provides a great overview of who Agracel, Inc. is, our journey, Ryan’s leadership style, and some of the trends we see in the market. Founded in 1986, Agracel continues to evolve and adapt as market conditions shift. Ryan nailed it when he said: “Major challenges have included rising interest rates, increasing construction costs, longer lead times, and supply chain disruptions. Fortunately, Team Agracel has risen to the challenge successfully.” Jack Schultz, Dean Bingham, and Ryan have laid a strong foundation that allows our team to pivot when necessary and continue charge forward. We've developed buildings that perform for our clients, investors, and communities, but we are more than just buildings. We are a trusted partner in the #industrialrealestate development space, committed to building strong relationships and not forgetting our “why.” Bullish we are and I truly believe the best is yet to come! #nnn #capitalmarkets #buildtosuit #saleleaseback #cre https://lnkd.in/e_8beGYx

In the below article recently released by the San Antonio Business Journal, it is very clear that the Interstate 35 corridor linking San Antonio and Austin continues to emerge as a major hub for investment and development, presenting an opportunity for economic alignment with the Capital City and neighboring communities to pursue larger deals and distribute wealth. Stakeholders emphasize international collaboration as crucial, especially in sectors like real estate, where a megaregion recruitment push could spur significant job creation and investment beyond San Antonio and Austin. While local leaders recognize the potential for economic growth north and south of San Antonio, the outcome hinges significantly on the evolving relationship between the two cities, given their varying interests in this megaregion initiative. What do you think about this collaborative approach?
