In 2013, the Georgetown BID brought together a diverse group of Georgetown merchants, property owners, ANC members, restaurateurs, office tenants, architects, BID Board members, community leaders, and engaged citizens. The goal? To collaborate on enhancing the Georgetown experience for visitors, residents, business owners, and employees. After over 100 hours of meetings and input from 200+ members of our community, we developed a consensus plan with 76 recommendations to tackle key issues—ranging from transportation challenges to public space improvements, reducing office vacancies, and attracting unique shops and restaurants. This effort gave rise to the Georgetown 2028 15-Year Action Plan. By 2021, we completed or made significant progress on 67 of the 76 action items. Since then, we have adapted to changing priorities in a post-pandemic world, continuing to refine efforts to support our neighborhood’s evolving needs. Take a look at some of our progress below! https://bit.ly/4d9aENG

A global hub, a sister city, and a “big city with a small-town feel,” Chicago’s essence remains unshakable. The 6-time champions city. The ‘85 Bears city. The 2005 World Series Champs city. The city that broke a century-old curse. The Stanley Cup city. 4-time MLS Champs town. The WNBA champions city. Chicago is a city of champions with a winning mentality. How do we sustain that mentality? How do we continue to succeed? We succeed by uniting to focus on what truly matters to our residents and by making Chicago a city people aspire to call home. Whether they come from another city, state, or country, Chicago should continue to be a beacon for those striving to build a better life for themselves and their families. With its abundant fresh water, vibrant air and rail system, remarkable architecture, rich art and culture, and ample green spaces, Chicago’s strengths far outweigh its challenges. Yet, our challenges offer us a unique opportunity to come together and find solutions. How can we do it? By focusing on fixing the fundamentals. Link in comments. 👇

Our local leaders have a huge impact on the success of our communities and investments. Since coming to Georgia I decided to research Atlanta’s Mayor Andre Dickens. Since taking office in January 2022, Mayor Dickens has influenced Atlanta's real estate landscape through various initiatives. Here are a few: 1. Affordable Housing: Launched projects to add over 5,000 affordable housing units, aiming to address the city's housing needs. 2. Development Projects: Supported sustainable urban growth with initiatives like the Atlanta BeltLine expansion and the Gulch redevelopment, intended to revitalize underutilized areas. 3. Regulatory Improvements: Implemented measures to streamline permitting and zoning processes, aiming to reduce bureaucratic obstacles for developers. 4. Public-Private Partnerships: Facilitated collaborations between the city and private developers, resulting in mixed-use developments like Westside Park and Centennial Yards. Mayor Dickens' term is set to run until January 2026. It will be interesting to see how these initiatives will shape Atlanta’s real estate sector. What do you think are the most critical factors shaping Atlanta’s real estate market right now, and how do you see them influencing future investment opportunities? #Atlanta #RealEstate #UrbanDevelopment #AffordableHousing #Leadership #Sustainability

Georgia World Congress Center Authority is planning to develop $1B in commercial and residential projects near the convention center.🏗️🌆🏘️ The development master plan shows the potential for new hotels and townhomes on the Blue Lot along Northside Drive.🏩 There are also plans for a pedestrian bridge to the convention center along with pedestrian access to the Westside Beltline Connector according to Atlanta Business Chronicle.🌉 On the Yellow Lot and a marshaling yard along Ivan Allen would be a mix of office, multifamily, and a grocery store.🏢🏪 This is still an early vision and no funding has been identified but work is being done. If you keep up with my posts, you're probably aware of Centennial Yards, the $5B project in the immediate vicinity and the major Science Square project not too far.🔭💰 In other words, Downtown Atlanta will look unrecognizable in the next 5-10 years.

Auburn University recently hosted its fifth annual gathering of some of the most prominent real estate professionals in the Southeast in Birmingham, Alabama. Entitled The Auburn CityBuilders Future of Commercial Real Estate in Alabama, this year’s event brought together more than 325 attendees and presenters to discuss the prospects for commercial real estate development in all four regions of the state. Hosted by Auburn’s Institute for Real Estate Development (IRED), a partnership between CADC and Auburn University Harbert College of Business, the view that emerged from the more than 30 commercial real estate developers, capital providers, suppliers, and economic development officials on all five of this year’s CityBuilders panels of experts is that commercial real estate development in Alabama is poised for measured, increasingly broad-based growth during the second half of 2024 and beyond. aub.ie/CityBuilders2024

🌎According to the World Resources Institute, we can expect urban areas to increase by up to 80% from 2018 to 2030. 📈 These revitalization efforts not only preserve the historical character of these areas but also stimulate economic growth, attract tourism, and create vibrant communities for residents and visitors to enjoy. 📍Knoxville: Market Square and the surrounding areas have been transformed into vibrant districts with an array of restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, and residential spaces. 📍Chattanooga: While not technically in East Tennessee but neighboring it, Chattanooga has transformed its riverfront and downtown into a bustling hub of activity, with attractions like the Tennessee Aquarium and the Creative Discovery Museum. 📍Johnson City: Part of the Tri-Cities region, revitalized Founder's Park and the development of the Tannery Knobs Mountain Bike Park have helped attract visitors and investment to the area. 📍Bristol: Another city in the Tri-Cities area, Bristol has focused on revitalizing its downtown district, particularly around State Street, containing The Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
