DFM Development Services’ Post

John Gohagan, a tax Principal in our San Antonio office, will be moderating the San Antonio State of the Market event on March 19. Join us for an in-depth discussion to unpack trends, opportunities, and challenges that continue to shape the success and growth of the city. Some of the topics that will be covered are: - How does San Antonio's commercial real estate market compare to other major cities across the U.S.? - What factors allow for the city’s continued growth and success? - What are the key development projects shaping the San Antonio skyline and contributing to the city's growth? - How do redevelopment projects around the iconic Riverwalk area and historic downtown influence and shape the commercial real estate market? - How has San Antonio’s construction ordinance shaped the market and affected sustainability? - How is the integration of residential and commercial spaces shaping the urban landscape and influencing real estate investment decisions? - What are the latest trends in real estate financing, including innovative funding models and their impact on project feasibility? and more!!!

Here we go again. Another popularity contest, another win[-ish] for #RaleighNC. But what’s wrong with continuing to be the First/Best Raleigh? Got a lot of fantastic public-private synergies doing just that. #raleighrealestate #raleigh #realestate #realestatedevelopment #cre #commercialrealestate #capitalmarkets

Iconic Sign History: Location: Scranton, Pennsylvania Find it at: Downtown Scranton Year put up: 1923 You probably associate Scranton with "The Office" more than with innovation, but this quiet Pennsylvania city was once a pioneer of embracing a groundbreaking new technology called electricity. When Scranton called itself "the Electric City," it wasn't exaggerating. In the 1880s, it was one of the first cities to have electricity and to use electric-powered streetcars. The sign was put up in 1923 to boast these accomplishments, and it used 1,200 lightbulbs just to show the rest of the world how far into the future they really were. As you've probably guessed, the city didn't continue leading the way in innovation during the 20th century, and its iconic sign was actually turned off for several decades. However, it was revitalized in 2004 and then taken down and replaced with an LED sign in 2014. #signage #signagesolutions #sign #signs #signcompany #signindustry

Xebec Announces New Industrial Development in Puget Sound Dallas-based industrial developer, Xebec, kicks off its first venture in the Puget Sound market with a groundbreaking project in Fife, Washington. This strategic location, merely a few miles from the Port of Tacoma, will see a 111,500 SF Class A industrial building rise on a 6.52-acre site. Previously zoned as Community Commercial, Xebec successfully rezoned the area to Industrial to cater to warehousing needs. Arya Ghazizadeh, Xebec's Puget Sound market leader, highlighted Fife's prime position for warehousing, given its proximity to the Port of Tacoma.

Modular housing research and development For Urbex I have been undertaking research into modular building as means of improving the affordability of housing. My personal experience in this area has been limited, with the offsite manufacture of the sales and information centre at Fitzgibbon Chase (Fitz Blitz Part 1 (https://lnkd.in/gHH-Y6iZ) and building a three storey terrace at Southport (https://lnkd.in/gT4Ch2kr), my only hands on experiences. Notwithstanding these projects which were mostly positive, I admit I started the current project as a modular sceptic. This was driven by my observations over the years that standard building methods were more cost effective (unless for remote housing) and also by the recent failure of large modular building companies in the UK and the USA https://lnkd.in/gq7WiaEj However, after nine months of investigation, the Urbex team believes there is a place for modular building in the current market place and will be building two prototypes in early 2025 (one for single level housing, the other for medium rise apartments). So, watch this space..…..

The leaders are shaping the face of the city one building at a time.
