The SAFE Alliance plays a crucial role in our community by offering advocacy, crisis intervention, and emotional support to those affected by sexual violence, child abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence.

The Emerging Trends in Real Estate? report from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and PwC US is here, offering essential insights that could shape the future of Texas real estate. Download the full report here. https://lnkd.in/e6w5e4Xa Highlights for Texas: ? Continued Growth and Attractiveness: Texas markets remain highly competitive for real estate investment, thanks to a business-friendly environment and lower living costs that attract companies and new residents alike. With a steady stream of corporate relocations, Texas metros are becoming major business hubs. ? Affordability Challenges: Despite relatively affordable housing compared to coastal markets, prices across Texas have risen sharply. Cities like Austin are facing “Supernova” growth challenges, such as housing affordability and infrastructure capacity. ? Shift in Market Dynamics: Austin’s previously rapid growth has moderated slightly as migration patterns adjust and housing issues arise. As it competes with other popular Sun Belt cities, Austin remains strong but with a renewed focus on balancing growth and livability. Rankings Snapshot: ? Dallas/Fort Worth ranks as the top market overall for real estate prospects in 2025. ? Houston holds a strong position at #3, driven by its expanding energy, healthcare, and tech sectors. ? Austin dropped to #15 in 2025, after being in the top 3 spots in 2021-2022. Overall, the outlook for commercial real estate in the US remains positive, with industry experts expressing cautious optimism: while better times are ahead, they acknowledge market recovery will be slow and gradual.

?? What an inspiring morning at ULI Austin’s October Breakfast! ?? We were proud to serve as underwriter for this engaging discussion on the transformation of Austin’s Convention Center, an ambitious project set to reshape the downtown landscape. Here are some of our key takeaways: ? The design will re-energize the area by moving exhibit halls underground, freeing up street-level space for retail, restaurants, and inviting public spaces—creating a more vibrant, pedestrian-friendly grid right in the heart of downtown. ?? During renovations, the City and Visit Austin are adopting an innovative “campus-style” approach, working with local hotels to gather up ballrooms and conference spaces to maintain seamless conference services. ?? Looking forward, the new convention center is slated to open in 2029—a future we’re excited to support as our city continues to grow and thrive. Thanks to ULI Austin and everyone who joined for this dynamic discussion! #AustinConstruction #ConstructionLaw #CommunityDevelopment #AustinConventionCenter
