Whenever we do feasibility on a city we’re looking to develop in, I like to spend a morning at the planning office talking to every developer and home builder that walks in. They’ll let you know the landscape, true permitting timelines, major players, etc.

Denver/ Colorado real estate folks: Who wants to join for a Retwit fly fishing outing this summer? I’ll organize it all, and you just show up General details: - full day trip within 2 hours from Denver (likely vail valley) - late June or early July - private water, with a…

A developer I know has a process for vetting different jurisdictions. He even spoken at the American Planning Association about it. If your city isn’t going to be supportive of new product, the next town over will.

Looking at a storage conversion in a growing PNW market. This deal would be faster than doing a ground up. But I had to ask myself - If I only get to build one project here for the next 20 years, would it be this one?
In case anyone forgot, the game is to actually OWN real estate, not just be a sponsor-for-hire
Learning how to write a “bad news” email in college is in my top ten most useful tools.
We decided to switch management companies on one of our facilities mid-construction this week. Not ideal. In self-storage there are certain colors standard to each third party manager Public - Orange Extra - Green Cube - Red We typically use blue accents for our own…
The fact that these behemoths are generating $500k/employee on average is pretty impressive considering the overhead most operate with. This seems like a logical target for your SMB, no?

45,000 SF slab poured last week This foundation cost about $350k and will deliver 340 climate controlled storage units A project becomes massively de-risked when site work and foundations are completed Most cost risk associated with vertical work is far less impactful
“If you give someone a hammer, everything looks like a nail” I need to learn a new asset class (currently in self-storage) What are the best strategies to learn a totally new asset? Hire experience? JV?
Interestingly there are some notable exceptions to this. Gray, Ballmer, Blau, etc. I always wonder what conversations and strategies led to these outcomes.
Monday is back! People will pick up their phones! Let’s kick Monday’s butt
This self-storage project is currently under construction and will wrap up in July! I’ll continue the good fight for really high quality single-story developments over multi-story shenanigans every day.

Experimenting w "drive up climate control" in a coastal area of FL w decent but not great incomes. This draft of this building floorplan is more drive-up CC than I was imagining and might be too many, need to think through/talk through this:
