Partnerships aren't just paperwork. Success isn't just strategy. Teams aren't just org charts. Here's what I've learned about building something real: The best partnerships? They're built on trust, not just terms. Like knowing someone's got your back when things get rough. Like texts that say "We'll figure this out." That's why we're fired up to partner with BCC on Cadre Townhomes. Real partnerships. Real trust. Real results. Strong teams aren't about perfect people. They're about perfect fit. It's about: • Having each other's blind spots • Celebrating wins like they're your own • Showing up when it matters most Some folks chase talent. I chase character. Because skills can be taught. But heart? That comes ready-made. Buck up and choose wisely. Your team isn't just who you work with. They're who you build with. Who's in your corner? Who’s on your team? Who’s your key partner?

Masterplanned Community in #Markham Would Replace Big Box Centre Beaver Creek winds its way past the intersection of Highway 7 and Woodbine Avenue in #Markham, heading southeast to soon join the Rouge River as it heads toward the Rouge National Urban Park lands. Here though, while the watercourse is presently surrounded by #commercial and #industrial properties, a pair of proposals to the east of the creek would see a significant amount of #residential space added to the mix in they are approved. The larger of the abutting proposals actually surrounds the smaller one. Currently a large #commercial site with big box stores, restaurants, and parking lots, Woodside #Markham is proposed to gradually be reborn as a mixed-use, masterplanned community. First submitted to #Markham in 2021, the #redevelopment plan has recently been revised and resubmitted to the City. Uncommonly for the Greater #Toronto Area, the latest plans for the #Markham Woodside Redevelopment foresee something less dense than initially proposed. Designed by Urban Strategies Inc. for SmartCentres REIT and Choice Properties REIT, the revised plan outlines buildings ranging from 4 to 30 storeys, now to include an office building, along with parks and significant landscaping.

JUST LISTED! Midtown Gardens is a turnkey investment opportunity totaling 34 units and weighted towards renovated 1 bedrooms. Originally built in 1970-1972, the property has undergone extensive renovation totaling well over $1,000,000 in costs. Capital improvements in the past 2 years include roof, electrical, plumbing, windows, exterior stairs, exterior paint, landscaping, concrete, and more. In addition, all 34 interiors have been renovated with high end finishes, making this one of the most attractive workforce housing options in the area. Tenants enjoy easy access to Downtown Denver and Boulder via nearby Highway 36. However, the subject property actually falls into Adams county and is therefore not subject to many of Denver’s landlord laws.

Why Cherry Creek West developers aim to create a ‘15-minute city’ The development will also have about 12% affordable housing targeted at those making 60% of the area’s median income. The company spearheading a redevelopment project exceeding $1 billion in Denver's Cherry Creek commercial district has unveiled updated renderings and new details, highlighting the planned walkability and outdoor spaces of the area. East West Partners is navigating Denver's planning and permitting process to transform a nearly 13-acre property located at East 1st Avenue and University Boulevard. This site, currently occupied by steakhouse Elway’s, a running store, and a large parking lot, will be redeveloped into Cherry Creek West, a project first announced in the fall of 2021. Open spaces will take up about 41% of the buildable area, with the remaining land going toward seven new residential and office buildings, according to East West Partners, which had not previously detailed the amount of open space in the project. #denverrealtor #coloradorealtor #Cherrycreek #Cherrycreekrealtor

The proposed SoLa development in Michigan City raises significant concerns about its location and impact on the lakefront. As a lifelong resident of the region, I believe development of this size, so close to Lake Michigan, risks compromising the area’s natural beauty, public access, and community identity. Daniel Burnham, in his 1909 Plan, said, “The lakefront by right belongs to the people… not a foot of its shores should be appropriated to the exclusion of the people.” This principle reminds us that the lakefront should remain open, accessible, and preserved for everyone—not dominated by towering structures that prioritize private interests. SoLa’s design also prompts another question: why was a Chicago firm chosen for this project when so many talented local firms from Northwest Indiana could have been involved? Local firms would bring a deeper understanding of the community’s needs, values, and character. Michigan City deserves thoughtful, inclusive growth, but not at the expense of its heritage or lakefront access. Large developments like SoLa should reflect the needs and voices of the region, balancing progress with preservation to ensure the lakefront remains a shared treasure for future generations. https:// https://lnkd.in/gYyG_524 node/2055/

🚀 As Jim Heid, FASLA signed his book for us, "Dream Big, Build Small." Projects like this are why we LOVE commercial real estate. In Edmond, Oklahoma local developer, Matthew Myers effectively utilizes a compact urban space to create a vibrant, community-focused environment. What we 💗about it: 1️⃣ Innovative Use of Limited Space: The project demonstrates how thoughtful design can maximize LESS THAN HALF of an acre by incorporating diverse building types, such as a four-story commercial building, live-work units, and 10-foot-wide townhouses—the narrowest in Oklahoma. This approach showcases the potential of small-scale developments to contribute significantly to urban density and community engagement. 2️⃣ Enhancing Community Interaction: By integrating internal courtyards, a paseo, and micro-retail spaces, the development fosters intimate public spaces that encourage pedestrian activity and social interaction. This design strategy emphasizes the importance of creating accessible communal areas that strengthen neighborhood connections. 3️⃣ Flexibility in Zoning and Building Codes: The project's success involved navigating and pushing the boundaries of existing zoning and building regulations. I know our friend, Eric Kronberg would be happy to see that local authorities and the community supported adaptable policies that accommodated this innovative urban design. Small-scale, mixed-use developments can effectively utilize limited space to create vibrant, community-oriented environments AND aligning with terra alma's mission to foster local business success and enrich urban living.
