Was great to join Jimmy Atkinson to share what we are seeing in capital markets, and what we've learned investing $200M in Opportunity Zones over the past four years. Enjoy!



Excited to speak in San Antonio on Tues morning at the Neighborhood Economics Conference Speaking with Ross Baird from Blueprint and David Robinson Jr from Weston Urban Talking about revitalizing neighborhoods through strategic investment and the transformative role of OZ legislation

Really looking forward to talking about neighborhood redevelopment, Opportunity Zones, and work with Barrett Linburg and David Robinson Jr of Weston Urban tomorrow at Neighborhood Economics. Thanks to Kevindoylejones and Rosa Lee for pulling together an amazing barn-raising! Stay tuned

Bipartisan Housing Caucus formed to address affordable housing crisis 1st thing they need to know: 20% of 2023 apartment development is in Opportunity Zones, up from 8% pre-OZ (2016) $200B+ of investment boosting supply Brittany Pettersen Rep. Lou Correa Mark Alford 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Tracey Mann




With Opportunity Zones likely to expand, Ross Baird and I had an in depth conversation with Alex Flachsbart about the best in class model he has built with Opportunity Alabama —Kudos to Economic Innovation Group for highlighting this thenewlocalism.com/newsletter/opp…

This is awesome. Our partners at Camp North End are pioneering "live-work" units-where business owners can both live on site and open their businesses on a ground floor. Great way to build community. Project hasn't even opened and they are all leased!



Opportunity Zones are building housing faster, cheaper, and where it's needed most—313K units at just $26K per unit. Awesome data from Economic Innovation Group and a call to action to double down.
