Thank you Ollie Chandhok for the Executive Insights interview with Board of Directors Chairman, and CBRE Vice President Jeff Ellerman about The Loop Dallas and its impact of real estate in Dallas for Dallas Business Journal. When The Loop Dallas founders talked to people about their vision, they were told it was impossible. The obstacles were too great, the red tape insurmountable. In 2023, The Loop Dallas opened the first critical connection in Dallas’ 50-mile pedestrian and bike trail uniting communities and neighborhoods that were isolated because of physical, political and financial barriers. In fact, one neighbor shared that when the Trinity Forest Spine Trail opened in 2023, it would be the first time she could leave the neighborhood without a car. Dallas Eric Johnson said it well, “As we look forward to our city’s future, what is clear is that trails are vital to the people of Dallas. The Loop Dallas isn’t some vanity project, or just an economic development play, or just a feel-good amenity for our neighborhoods. Trails are more to us than a nice-to-have perk. A strong and viable trail system must be considered critical infrastructure for a 21st century city.” Click the image below to hear the full interview from the Dallas Business Journal. ABOUT THE LOOP DALLAS The Loop Dallas is working closely with City of Dallas, Dallas Park and Recreation, Dallas County, private donors and corporate partners to make green space available throughout Dallas and increase access to public transportation with a focus on equity. Thanks to public investment and partnership, and private dollars and leadership, The Loop Dallas will unite Dallas with a city-wide bike and pedestrian active transportation system that joins 39 miles of existing trails in Dallas with 11 miles of newly built trails. These final 11 miles are the most complex and costly to deliver which is why a public private partnership is so important. It is a legacy amenity that will benefit Dallas for generations. The Loop Dallas is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization.

Had the privilege of attending the Annual Joint Dinner hosted by COMMERCIAL-INDUSTRIAL REALTY COUNCIL OF NEW CASTLE COUNTY, SIOR Philadelphia Chapter, PA/NJ/DE CCIM Chapter, Tri-County Suburban REALTORS Commercial Chapter, Delaware Chapter of the Appraisal Institute, and Delaware Real Estate Women. One highlight from the night (besides the networking) was Jerry Sweeney of Brandywine Realty Trust providing a keynote on the current office market fundamentals and future outlook. The depth of insights shared is invaluable for steering our course in the dynamic real estate landscape. One of my favorite things about his talk was less about the real estate industry, but more about mentality. Not an exact quote, but it was along the lines of "If you walk around thinking that things will go wrong, things will go wrong. Attitude affects outcome.” This was a powerful reminder that our mindset shapes our reality in the complex world of real estate. It emphasized the profound impact a positive attitude can have on steering through challenges and influencing successful outcomes. Let's carry these words of wisdom into our work, fostering optimism, resilience, and success! #RealEstateInsights #MarketOutlook #NetworkingInRealEstate #PositiveOutlook #AttitudeMatters #BuildingABetterTomorrow #WeAreVerdantas

Reflecting on a fantastic morning on Thursday hosting the inaugural Harris Associates BTR Club - Developer Edition at Claridge's. We enjoyed a great breakfast with engaging discussions, enriched by insights from top industry leaders.   Huge thanks to Paul Cummins from JRL Group Ltd, Damien Sharkey from HUB, Michael Old from Moda, Edward Owen from Packaged Living, Max Sugden from Telford Homes and Oliver Westray MRICS of McLaren Property. Also special thanks to Damian Wild for moderating the thought provoking discussion.   As the economic outlook starts to brighten up with inflation below expected levels and the market pricing in interest rates to drop sooner than expected, my top three takeaways from the breakfast are as follows: 1. The market is evolving - 'Discount to VP' metrics are decreasing in relevance, particularly in the multifamily space which continues to mature. 2. Surprising fact of the day - Palm Beach, Florida, has seen more BTR units than the entire UK to date!  3. Alignment with investors and developers is becoming increasingly important to unlock development and bring forward supply. This is now filtering into more creative structures that mean returns for the developer are being linked with asset performance. One obvious revelation from this and other recent BTR events in the UK is that the sector is evolving at a remarkable pace and there is so much room for further growth. #BTR is a dynamic and exciting market we are glad to be part of.   Looking forward to our next gathering! #BuildToRent #RealEstateInsights #HarrisAssociates
