Dear Readers, Thank you to all who took the time to give us feedback about our new look. Overall, we received positive feedback with a few questions regarding why we “took the red out of red” (which was due to focusing more on the acronym - real estate directory - versus the color and to avoid continued scrutiny by the Russian Federation). I’ve also had requests from the brokerage community for more state-of-the-market commentary. I hope you enjoy the insights in this issue from four esteemed office brokers. The conversations I had with each one gave me an opportunity to get to know them better, both from a personal as well as professional standpoint. It was fascinating to hear Tom Lynn’s story. In researching medical growth, I was reminded once again that everything is better in Texas. On a national level, medical development is somewhat on hold while hospital/medical executives await the determination of the actual effect the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will have on the industry. In Texas, our tremendous population growth overshadows that concern. As I mentioned last month, our continued focus at redNEWS is the refinement of our databases, as those of you working in CRE research departments know is a never ending task. We are also making a concerted effort to bring you more daily CRE news on rednews.com by following 75 different CRE news sources and re-posting news each morning, so save yourself some time and log on to rednews.com. Kids are back in school and football has started. Enjoy your September! Best Regards, Ginger Wheless
