As the unofficial start of summer in Teton Valley, Memorial Day came and went without any fanfare. Just one week later, however, Highway 22 over Teton Pass suffered a partial collapse and the future of the busiest time of the year in the region was thrown into jeopardy. June was a nervous month in Teton Valley, Idaho and Alta, Wyoming, as the region awaited daily updates on when the major artery to Jackson might reopen. The anxiety was reflected in last month’s real estate stats, as transactions fell 27 percent compared to June, 2023. With Teton Pass open again, the Teton Valley market is poised to continue its otherwise strong start to 2024. View the full report: https://lnkd.in/gUuH3G5Y

Imagine if Councils spent less on court cases and more on good planning application administration. ???????????????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ?????? (except the planning lawyers!). We'd have more homes, faster and cheaper. We urgently need to bring: ?pragmatism; ?an understanding of the importance of time; and ?a "getting to yes" approach to the way Councils and authorities approach planning applications. Instead of always gearing up for a fight. Thanks to Mike Bird and Urban.com.au for having me on. Look out for the full episode when it drops. #planningreform #housing #economics

Here's another #econdev national media hit tip: If your city is lucky enough like Rockford and my friend John Groh to get a stellar national print placement, you leverage the heck out of it to different media who aren't competitors. Broadcast segments and podcasts will use the national print media headlines as news and will want to speak to your local spokespeople about the reason WHY behind the ranking. So how do you elevate these stories? ? Make sure you pitch quickly so the fervor doesn't die down ? Dive into the process, not the product. Tell the reporters why and how the story came to be so you can share additional insight. ? Be aware of which publications and outlets are friendlies so you don't run into issues with competition. ? Collect b-roll, still photography and headshots to ensure you have additional content to provide ? Continue to celebrate the story locally so residents and stakeholders see how much of an impact the headline had. John, it was such an honor working with you on this piece. Rockford has always had a special place in my heart and to see national headlines and stories cover what I've known about the city for a long time is seriously why I'm in this business. #economicdevelopment

Who is ready to develop one of the last remaining vacant land parcels in the Far NE Heights? This trade area serves a high density population and student populations! #commercial #commercialinvestment #commercialbuilding #developmentopportunity #developmentopportunities

The commercial real estate landscapes in South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) are ripe for new speculative industrial building projects. Speculative buildings, or "spec buildings," are constructed without a committed tenant, offering flexible and ready-to-occupy spaces for businesses looking to expand or relocate quickly. This trend is transforming South Texas and the RGV into a hub of opportunity and growth. Why South Texas and RGV? - Strategic Location: Proximity to major transportation routes and ports. - Economic Growth: A thriving economy with a business-friendly environment. - Skilled Workforce: Access to a diverse and skilled labor pool. Benefits of Speculative Buildings: - Speed to Market: Businesses can move in and start operations faster. - Flexibility: Customizable spaces to meet specific needs. - Modern Amenities: State-of-the-art facilities designed for efficiency and productivity. Reach out to South Texas Facility Partnership (STFP) and let’s discuss the opportunities. #CommercialRealEstate #SouthTexas #RGV #SpeculativeBuilding #BusinessGrowth #RealEstateDevelopment

Now, a flood of new residents, the construction of the Polar Park baseball stadium, and a wave of development have shone the next spotlight on the neighborhood, driving up real estate prices and permanently altering the district’s landscape in the process. Developers and business owners expect that growth to continue, saying new businesses and even more residents will soon make the area home, creating the next chapter in the long history of the Canal District. https://lnkd.in/eBtApqEf

On the heels of this presentation (and thanks to APPI for having us!) and the Government of Canada's release of #Canada's #Housing Plan today -- I want to also acknowledge the efforts of so many -particularly Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) members and participants from across Canada- who drove the recommendations in this report, including some that are directly reflected in Canada's Housing Plan - specifically those that attach conditions to public transit funding. Municipalities and transit operators have an opportunity to look at how their housing and transit planning and operations are not just aligned, but strategically integrated to achieve outcomes around: - reducing dependence on personal vehicle ownership (the second largest driver of debt - thereby one of the most tangible ways to address affordability); - reducing GHGs; - supporting sustainable operations for transit operators; - getting more people on transit all times of day/days of the week (improving both the perception of and actual safety). So, when we talk ?? and affordability, we're gonna keep talking about ?? . P.S. David Cooper great best man speech.

Nice article on Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)’s vision for a future with green buildings that sequester (rather than emit) carbon dioxide (Urban Sequoia)! And even a shoutout to Prometheus Materials Bio-Blocks, which provide a solution to traditional cement and concrete through their innovative bio-production process that sequesters CO2!
