“The Energy Corridor is outgrowing itself and continues to expand westward. The Grand Parkway will act as an accelerator of growth and serve as a natural corridor for residential, retail, office and commercial development. The ease of connectivity to the Grand Parkway will make Verde Parc an ideal location for energy expansion as well as residential and commercial development.” - Joe Moody

Verde Parc is at the northeast corner of the Grand Parkway and Interstate 10 in West Houston. The Grand Parkway will fundamentally change the dynamics of Houston by linking the quality growth markets of the southwest, west, northwest and north submarkets. Verde Parc is at the center of this transformation, therefore ideally positioned for office, retail, restaurant, multi-family, hotel and conferenceColonial uses. Verde Parc will be developed with the same high standard of our previous business parks, West Ten and Mason Parkway Creek Corporate.

Dear Readers, This issue’s market focus is on the Texas office and industrial markets and the words CBRE used to describe the third quarter of 2013 in these markets consistently include: strong, steady, highest and best.

Although several Texas economists and seasoned CRE professionals have expressed opinions that this market may plateau in 2014 and we may not be boasting “highest and best” this time next year, they still expect it to be an exceptional year in all aspects of leasing and development in the commercial and residential real estate markets.

Our editorial focus each month continues to be Texas development opportunities as it relates to transportation as well as development. The Dallas/Ft. Worth area seems to be at the top of their game in creating opportunity with their Mobility 2030 Plan which includes $17.7 billion in Tollway construction and $9.6 billion in light rail construction.

We consistently hear a lot about west & north Houston (ExxonMobil) growth. When was the last time you took a tour of East Houston? I had breakfast several weeks ago with Sonny Flores, who was referred to me by a CRE broker who called Sonny “Mr. East End”. Sonny is a really interesting guy who has a passion for international travel and the east side of Houston. This is the oldest part of the city with a real flavor of vintage Houston. Eastwood and Idylwood residential neighborhoods are heavily wooded areas of pristine older bungalows and new residential homes (similar to West University many years ago). The Gus Wortham Golf Course is beautiful so you golfers who don’t want to wait to tee off, check it out. At the end of this year, MetroRail will complete the connector of east Houston to the CBD so there will be an easy commute via rail from east Houston to downtown. The efforts that the Greater East End Management District, along with developers and residents have made, are impressive in terms of development, redevelopment, low crime rates, and there is not one scrap of trash on the streets!

Have a wonderful February and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Dallas & Fort Worth on the Move

by Dave Sorter REDNews’ Contributing Writer Talk to someone who has lived in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area for the past 40 years, and they’ll tell you Plano was nothing but a prairie back then. The Central Expressway north of Interstate 635, and Plano, Allen, Fairview and McKinney have caused Collin County’s population to increase from 66,000 in 1970 to more than 800,000 today, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

ly open for about three years, the time is ripe for the Legacy area of south Plano to fill in, as well as the portion of southern McKinney along the tollway.

KDC’s Van Amburgh agrees that the Sam Rayburn Tollway area in Collin County is among the popular future development areas.

Peter Aberg, a partner with Legacy Capital Development, is a young man looking west. With the 27.6-mile Chisholm Trail Parkway (an extension of SH 121) from downtown Ft. Worth to Cleburne scheduled to open this spring, Aberg sees the area of southwest Ft. Worth along this tollway to be next in line for a growth spurt.

“In the Legacy area, there’s a lot of activity in multifamily,” Van Amburgh said. “On (SH) 121, now that all the infrastructure is in place, people want to take advantage of the live/work/play scenario, and avoid long commutes.”

People who have lived in DFW for the past 20 years will tell you they remember when Frisco was a sleepy little town with some old houses. Then came the widening of State Highway 121, which morphed into the Sam Rayburn Tollway and two extensions of the Dallas North Tollway. Frisco’s Peter Aberg population has grown from about 6,000 in 1990 to more than 135,000 in November 2013, according to North along the Dallas North Tollway is one spot city statistics. most often mentioned. Offices, retail centers and The same rate of development can be seen as In- other commercial entities have popped up within a terstate 35E (Lewisville, Flower Mound, Carrollton), few years of the roads’ extensions to Far North DalInterstate 35W (north Ft.

Conventional wisdom in Texas has been, build the highway and development will follow – most of the time. With construction crews more abundant than ever across the DFW landscape, commercial and residential real estate experts are starting to speculate about what the next, currently beneaththe-radar hot spots, will be.

Matt Heidelbaugh, executive director of Cushman and Wakefield, believes the compass still points north, as yet another planned Dallas North Tollway extension – a 13.7 mile path between U.S. 380 and the Collin/ Grayson county line, reaches Prosper and Celina, north of Frisco. A two-lane road Matt Heidelbaugh currently carries traffic, with the first phase of the new road under development.

And southern Collin County isn’t done yet. Steve Van Amburgh, CEO of KDC (formerly Koll Development Company), said that since the Sam Rayburn Tollway (State Highway 121) has been complete-

“It’s something (U.S.) 75 did,” Heidelbaugh said referencing the effect the DNT has had on development. “There’s a big area north. More people are living there, saving themselves a big commute. Developers are going to be expanding into Prosper; there’s a lot of retail development happening.”

For example, Lincoln Property Company is working – with Jerry Jones as a partner – on a 300,000 square-foot retail development at U.S. 380 and Preston Road, just east of the tollway’s current northern terminus. It is scheduled to open in late 2015, according to reports, and is part of the 800acre Gates of Prosper mixed-use project that will also feature single- and multi-family housing.

“More companies are leaving LBJ than are going to LBJ,” he added.

Steve Van Amburgh

Though more and more roads are being built/expanded, light rail, another form of transportation infrastructure is attracting development.” One of KDC’s current projects – the 2.3 million-square-foot CityLine Plaza at the newly improved intersection of Central Expressway and the President George Bush Turnpike – is an example.

Heidelbaugh sees the area from the Sam Rayburn Tollway/Dallas North Tollway intersection north past U.S. 380 as “sort of a new LBJ,” he said.

“The Sam Rayburn Tollway could be thought of in the same way,” he added.

The office/retail/hotel/multi-family complex is across the tracks from a DART station that feeds downtown Dallas and, by the end of 2014, will provide a oneseat, though lengthy, ride to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. State Farm insurance has leased 1.5 million square feet of office space there.

“I also think there is room in McKinney for more commercial and more housing,” Heidelbaugh said.

“We have Craig Ranch (a mixed-use development centered on a professional-level golf facility). It will be thoughtfully developed.”

“State Farm wanted to offer DART service to its employees,” Van Amburgh said. “That’s one reason they chose this site. Offices have been popular around the Bush Turnpike. Employees want to live in that area.

It also opens up parcels of land in southwest Ft. Worth and unincorporated areas near Crowley, Burleson, Joshua and Cleburne that now look like Plano did before the 1970s.

“It’s more of a secret than you think,” said Aberg. “The real estate community doesn’t pay a whole lot of attention to it, but in the past 60 days, there has started to be some interest.”

Aberg is a little biased. His Legacy Capital Development is attracting interest in its Chisholm Trail Ranch project, a 600-acre mixed-use facility planned for the intersection of the Chisholm Trail Parkway and the newly extended McPherson Road in southwest Ft. Worth.

“In the last 90 days, we’ve been talking to Target and Cinemark,” Aberg said, adding that other big box stores have put out feelers. “The market feels kind of rural, but in the primary trade area, there are roughly 100,000 folks there.”

The CTP, Aberg added, “will kick hous-

In addition to being the halfway point of the new toll road, the development is also near North Crowley High School and Summer Creek Middle School, and Legacy Capital is donating about 12 acres to the Crowley ISD for a new elementary school. Farther south, the Chisholm Trail Parkway is almost right behind the Joshua ISD’s Loflin Middle School and Caddo Grove Elementary School.

today – the LBJ Express work on I-635 and I-35E and the North Tarrant Express construction on SH 183, SH 121 and I-820, which are creating managed toll lanes – will not inspire

much new business…except, as Heidelbaugh said, companies hurt by all the construction will be revived once the work is done.

Dallas North & Sam Rayburn Tollways

Other spots of interest, according to the experts, may be: • Uptown Dallas. Though no new roads are going in, the year-old Klyde Warren Park over Woodall Rodgers Freeway is attracting a resurgence of interest, both Heidelbaugh and Van Amburgh said. The live/work/play theory is playing out there, they said.

• 7th Street in Ft. Worth. The new bridges the city built on this street known for funky shops, bars and eateries are helping draw more and more people to the area, Van Amburgh said.

• The area around DFW Airport. Now that the Airport Connector project on SH 114, SH 183, SH 121 and I-635 is complete, “there’s room for commercial infill,” Heidelbaugh said.

• The Alliance Airport/north Ft Worth area. As I-35W improvements are made and the Texas Department of Transportation expands SH 170 from near Southlake past Alliance, industrial development could pick up, Aberg said.

One thing all three developers agreed on is that the projects that are probably the most painful to motorists

Dallas North Tollway

The Chisholm Trail Parkway will open this spring after three years of construction and 50 years of planning, negotiating and politicking among representatives of Tarrant and Johnson counties, and the cities of Fort Worth, Cleburne and multiple smaller towns in between. It will cut the travel time from Cleburne to downtown Fort Worth in half, and save drivers the frustration of more than 20 stoplights along SH 174 between downtown Cleburne and the entrance to I-35W in Burleson.

ing into gear in 2014.” He expects retail to start booming in 2015 and 2016.

Dallas North Tollway

Though many eyes are on these various areas of Collin County, Legacy Capital’s Aberg believes he has unearthed the best-kept secret in the region: Southwest Ft. Worth.

Rebuilding East Houston Along the East End with Sonny Flores

Gus Wortham Golf Course

by Ginger Wheless REDNews

Dionicio Vidal (Sonny) Flores, a Houston business owner (PEC Corporation) with expertise in engineering services and construction management, has held federal, state and local government appointments. He continues to receive distinctions for his community service and most recently served on the board of directors for the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Buffalo Bayou Partnership, and the East End Management District.

Sonny is a Registered Professional Engineer licensed in Texas and Louisiana. His bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering is from Texas A&M. Sonny has completed continuing education studies from the University of Nevada Continuing Studies, and the U.S. Corps of Engineers. Originally from Falfurrias, Texas, Sonny served in the U.S. Air Force, and continues to be intrigued by international travel.

‘he got here as fast as he could!’ After his time in College Station, Sonny served in the U.S. Air Force.

He was in the service for three years, and later in the inactive reserves for many years, but was never called back up.

Today Sonny is a member of the World Affairs Council, which is a group of people who enjoy being involved and like to know more about the world. Traveling in countries such as Iran and Tanzania has been eye opening for Sonny. He says that economic conditions present in places like North Korea illustrate the differences between the political and economic advantages enjoyed by those of us in the ‘west’. In South Korea, people are building cars, machinery, construction equipment, etc. This is not the case in North Korea. On the South Korean side of the peninsula, the people enjoy a booming economy, whereas in North Korea the shelves in the stores are predominantly empty. “The North Koreans just don’t have much,” he says.

After serving in the Air Force, Sonny worked for Lockwood, Andrews & Newman before he went to work for Howard Tellepen, Sr. at Tellepsen Construction Company. In 1980, when he started his own company he was able to lease a 30,000 squarefoot office building that had been boarded up and was covered with graffiti for $2,000 a month. Although he needed only a fraction of the space to start, the price was right and he put a considerable amount of sweat equity into the deal. Today, he continues to do construction engineering, but has sold the construction side of his business.

Sonny Flores

One of his treks was an eight-day trip to Istanbul.

“I’ll go anywhere that looks interesting and dangerous,” Sonny said, noting that the trip to the city of Istanbul, which, like Houston, is an international city that possesses a natural seaport, wasn’t ‘nearly long enough’. Regarding Houston, Sonny reports that

26 REDNews.com

Sonny is enthusiastic about the business prospects in Houston today, which he describes as ‘the best economy that I’ve seen in Houston’. The big difference between the construction possibilities that are present today and those that existed in the ‘70s can be seen in the international market that exists in Houston today. Back in the ‘70s, Sonny often had to wait months to get steel or concrete, but today, steel is obtainable from Brazil and China as well as

India. Concrete ‘is’ not a problem today either. The United States does still produce concrete domestically, but it is also readily obtainable from other sources, although it is primarily delivered only to within 150 to 200 miles inland from coastal ports such as Houston. One of the reasons Houston is key to this industry is the fact that Houston is connected to the intercoastal waterways all the way down to Brownsville and all the way to Florida. Building materials that can’t be feasibly shipped by truck or rail are easily transported cheaper on barges through the interconnecting domestic canal system.

In the future, Houston will face some development issues. The Panama Canal is going to bring much more business into the city because of the increased ability to carry more materials on the even larger ships. The new canal is going to be 60-80 feet deep and the goods that are brought in are going to need to be warehoused and shipped throughout the country. Part of Houston’s problem is there is not enough property left to develop any more storage facilities. The Port Authority, which owns perhaps a third of all the land between Houston and the ocean, will be out of space. These problems are going to have to be worked out, but it may take eight to ten years and will likely involve the right of eminent domain. The Port of Corpus Christi does have land, and they would love to have the business. But their problem is that they don’t have a railroad service to help them distribute the goods.

Galveston, on the other hand, appears disinterested in developing their prospects in regard to international shipping and storage, because they want to maintain their current identity as a small city.

Regarding pipelines, Sonny notes that the Port of Houston recently deepened the property that they own in the Barbours Cut area. They’ve put their dock there, and they’ve got the money to take advantage of the larger ships. But dredging the port requires congressional approval, and, in light of all the ecological awareness today, and the environmental impact studies that are part of today’s continued on page 28

regulatory business climate, it takes a long time to get things done. The engineers have to figure out where to place all of the evacuated material. It’s technically possible to dredge, put it in a pipeline, and add as many pump stations as needed to get from A to B, and pump it out into the lowlands. But this is a long-term project.

public property in good condition. Every week, every major thoroughfare gets cleaned off, mowed, and trimmed. Initially they thought they’d provide the public works and maintenance services themselves, but found that they can accomplish those goals easier and cheaper by awarding annual contracts to private contractors.

Sonny is interested in international business, but stresses that the demographics of the area that he lives in are important to him. “I come from a family that has always been involved in community. I told myself that not only did I desire to make a living, I also needed to make a contribution to the world around me.

As a young guy, I was the president of the local Jaycee chapter and we had 2,400 members. I got involved in politics and ran for office and today I thank God that I was defeated. I like to say that I got that out of my system.”

Basically, the management district focuses on three areas: security, clean up, and business development and maintenance. At one point, Sonny noticed street lights that were inoperable in parts of the area. He said, “Look Martin (Martin Chavez, Greater East End Program Coordinator), I don’t know how the city turns these lights on and off. I’d like for you to look into this.” Martin discovered that the city doesn’t do anything about streetlights; that’s Centerpoint.

“So Martin found out who to call, called them, and made an appointment.

Within 10-14 days, we had the lights working appropriately.” Sonny notes that this reporting of street lights continues today.

Sonny’s interest in giving back to the community led him to get involved with the people locally and in Austin who were eventually able to legislate the first Houston East End Management District into existence.

The Texas Legislature formed the Greater East End Management District in 1999 to function as a tool for economic development and revitalization of the area. The District receives assessments from commercial property owners and uses funds for infrastructure improvements, beautification, security and public safety, workforce development, and other programs as designated by its board of directors. The District develops and implements projects and programs that: • Create a safe environment within the District in both perception and reality • Enhance the image of the District • Improve infrastructure and amenities in the District • Attract more business and investments to the District • Improve business opportunities in order to increase economic activity for the business property owners, tenants, and their customers.

“It seems like a small thing, but today, I’ll bet you that you can drive up and down our thoroughfares and 99% of the lights are on at night. At one point, I had some problems with middle school kids fighting in the street after school.

When there’s a problem such as this, our residents and business owners have a constable’s number to call. And when a citizen calls, within 5 minutes, there’s a constable’s car out there to address the problem.”

Sonny notes that Constable Trevino has been in the news recently and not in a particularly good way. “I mean, Trevino’s been in the news and there are a lot of things they’re accusing him of. The media has portrayed him as a bad guy, but I’ll tell you what. When it comes to taking care of people in this area, he is there for the neighborhood.”

Security for area residents is of prime concern to Sonny. In order to provide more police security, they hired Victor Trevino’s constables to provide private security and have asked larger companies located within the district, such as Baker Hughes, to provide some of the security forces needed. Sonny notes that by using the constable’s forces they are able to provide additional security services that are economical and effective.

In addition to security needs, the management district focuses on keeping

28 REDNews.com

Sonny talks about construction projects and federal grants for building within the district. During the past fifteen years, the management district has developed many public works and beautification projects that have revived the area. Of primary importance to Sonny is that the people working in the Greater East End Management District understand what the inner city’s needs are to become and continue to be a vibrant district. He focuses on neighborhood events that develop local pride, and enables people to get out of their homes and meet their neighbors. He says community pride keeps neighborhoods vibrant.

This, in essence, is what Sonny is all about. He’s been in Houston for forty years now, and he still focuses on ‘not just making a living, but giving back to the community.’

Patrick Jankowski, VP-Research Greater Houston Partnership

speaks to CCIM Chapter Luncheon: Economic Update Patrick Janowski

Jankowski summarized the economic roller coaster in the Houston Metro area since the end of the last peak, which was about 2008. He did it with (surprise!): numbers.

• 354,200: The jobs created / long term average of job creation in area is 42-65,000 per year • 125,185: Metro area population growth, half organic (births minus deaths) and half from inward migration to our area • 6,177,035: Ten country metro population / the fifth most populous metro area in the country, chasing DFW (two out of five largest in US located in the Lone Star State) • $449.4 billion: Metro Gross Domestic Product • 2nd: Fastest growing metro economy behind San Francisco / Silicon Valley • 3.1%: Rate of job growth (now that we have returned to normal growth rate) • 231%: of jobs recovered since last recession-we have gotten back all jobs lost in recession and then some 30 REDNews.com

• $98: Market price for barrel of oil…if it drops below $70 exploration in Eagle Ford and elsewhere in US ceases to be economic • 87,635: Homes and condos sold in last 12 months • Sources of area growth: income growth, employment growth, population growth, plus pent-up demand after austerity of last recession • 352,721: Vehicles sold in last 12 months—indicator or confidence in future as people are willing to hitch up to monthly note payments stretching well into the future • We are “starting to see a slowdown” but it is only the growth curve slowing down to a more normal and sustainable growth rate

Other engines of Houston’s present and future growth are: • International trade-Panama Canal will not be a game-changer, since other Gulf Coast and East Coast ports, as well as Long Beach/Los Angeles port-rail interconnect will be competing for business

• Exports from Port of Houston have doubled in value 2006 -2013 • US overall economic growth creates demands for goods and services produced in Houston metro area • Rig count is down but this is deceptive, since new technology enables one rig to drill more wells • 50 million air passengers passing through Houston airports per year, and growing

Potential drags on growth: • Shortage of lots driving up housing and other construction costs • Shortage of qualified construction labor causing bottlenecks • Difficulty in tracking some employment indicators due to trend to not hire, but to engage “independent contractors” to do the same workthis negatively affects “employment” statistics and misrepresents number of people actually working in the economy

Social Media & Commercial Real Estate Brokerage What’s appropriate in the various social media platforms for the promotion and networking of a commercial real estate brokerage business?

you may actually be reading this article.

I have always been interested in the use of technology in my commercial real estate practice. Since I began working in this field, a number of technological advancements have occurred, including personal computers and their use in cataloging available commercial properties, the invention of the Web and the use of it for on-line commercial property research, email communications regarding Houston industrial properties … and finally social media, the reason

and otShers all have their place and I use all of them to a greater or lesser de-

The various social media alternatives: Facebook, Google +, Twitter, LinkedIn gree. However, it irritates me when some supposed professionals overstep the bounds of what is appropriate in their use. I find myself ELIMINATING personal contacts at times because of someone’s posts. Here’s my take on what these websites offer and how they should be used.

add or eliminate sources of tweets as you desire. I am tweaking my “followings” so every day I can stay current on what is said by those whose tweets continue to be interesting. I include, for example: Download 200,000+ brand logos in vector format for free young commercial real estate brokers I am menFacebook: I think Facebook is a wonderful inven- toring, some politicians, auto manufacturers who http://www.logoeps.com/ tion, (thanks to young Mark Zuckerberg) and I am have new models out, friends who do stuff of parin there almost every day. This is a new way for me ticular interest to me (horse training, etc.), deep sea to keep up with my relatives and friends in other exploration, US Special Forces … etc. This is differcities as well as seeing pictures of events/things my connections I care about, choose to post. I feel connected with many friends with whom I would not otherwise have the chance to stay current. However, those who post solicitations or promotions of their businesses can count on my canceling their connection immediately. This media, in my opinion, is for “socializing” and not for business pro- ent from Facebook and I keep my “Followings” to a motion. That said, Facebook does have a “Pages” short list. This site could be a little of both personal section which is the appropriate place for such & business … but leaning more toward personal. messaging.

LinkedIn: This is where you promote your business! I keep up with my contacts’ promotions, relocations, job anniversaries, their new contacts, interesting posts and their sometimes viewing of my contact Information. I feel complimented when one of my contacts will “Endorse” my technical skills in commercial real estate and most of the time I reply with a “thanks” for doing this. I keep my Profile current so a visitor has access to my information. I feel comfortable in including my clients Twitter: This is a new endeavor for me and I’m just in communications but I am careful not to do this learning “hashtag” & etc. language. It seems to me too often. I find myself cancelling contacts who that here, you have the opportunity to read NEWS post “garbage” on this site frequently just to keep about a subject you have an interest in and you can their name out there. Used intelligently and with

respect for your potential reader’s time, I think this is a great business tool!

Google +: I have really not been too active with this site as yet. I understand it is growing into a good social platform now and I will surely try it more in the future to see how it works with what I already do with the other sites.

Two other parts of this need mentioning: Email: I cross reference my Twitter & Facebook links in my signature block in my emails. I also put a color picture here as I like seeing pictures of my other email correspondents who do the same. I feel more connected when replying to individual emails when a picture is included.

Website: My Michael Hill Properties website includes a news section which is cross-linked to my Twitter account and is published there as well.

Stay tuned and good luck in 2014!
