GlobeSt.com: What trends are catching your eye in DFW?

Bills: We are fortunate to be in DFW where jobs have, and will continue to, drive the growth in all product types. In addition to the high-profile corporate relocations, we are also seeing an influx of smaller firms relocating to DFW either to support the larger firms who are relocating or to take advantage of the business friendly regulations, access to a strong talent pool and growing consumer base that we enjoy here.

GlobeSt.com: Is multifamily saturated or just getting started?

Bills: We are confident and assertive on DFW multifamily because of the continued strength of multifamily fundamentals. From an historical perspective, the job growth to supply ratio is well above the long run average which is why new supply continues to lease-up quickly at increasing rental rates. High Street Residential's multi-family projects are the right product in the right location, we are confident they will be attractive to residents.

GlobeSt.com: What types of new developments are springing up and what is the reason for this phenomenon?

Bills: Dallas is seeing growing demand for developments that offer an “experience” to tenants and residents. As employees demand highly amenitized, flexible workspace, located close to living and entertainment opportunities, our office developments will increasingly include these features. Renters across a range of age and socioeconomic profiles want to live close to work, transit, and entertainment; our multifamily projects are tailored to satisfy this demand. The retail environment is changing and thoughtful retail developments that include shopping, dining, and entertainment formats provide consumers the “experience” they expect.

GlobeSt.com: What are your plans for the new position?

Bills: My focus will remain on executing the exciting projects we have underway and putting strong/excellent deals together. We are actively pursuing new opportunities in all product types and look forward to developing more first class projects with our partners.
