LAS VEGAS—A diversified economy helped the Dallas-Fort Worth area remain somewhat stable through the recession. In fact, according to Steve Williamson, CCIM, managing director of retail services for Transwestern in the DFW market, job creation was still a factor though certainly not as robust as it was during the high times that preceded the downturn. Now, there's an influx of people from other parts of the country and that is further fueling the retail and multifamily markets.

Watch the video interview with Williamson, recorded during RECon 2015, and learn:

  • How a lack of retail development has helped market discipline;
  • What an expanded population is looking for in their shopping; and
  • The suburban component and entertainment retail.
