STAFF WRITERS

Dear Readers,

The Texas ICSC Conference last month had about 4000 attendees which was reportedly a record turnout. Everyone we encountered was busy and excited about the number of retailer appointments they had scheduled as well as the drop-in traffic.

Look for a recap of the event in next month’s issue.

Upcoming 2017 should be another fabulous year because of, or in spite of, our newly elected president. Once again I know that our tenacious and resourceful industry professionals will focus on doing deals and will continue to thrive. We certainly have done so in spite of oil prices at less than half what they were several years ago!

I hope you enjoy reading about Texas A&M’s Real Estate Center as much as I enjoyed interviewing its outstanding team. Gary Maler, the Center’s Director, and I grew up together in Brookshire, Texas many years ago, and I’m so impressed with his accomplishments as well as the Real Estate Center’s. It has put Texas on the map as a world renowned research organization for which we can all be proud.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday which includes counting your many blessings, one of which is how lucky we are to be living in the U.S.A. , and, most particularly, TEXAS! Best Regards,

Finding Its Center How the Real Estate Center has changed the industry in Texas Gary Maler, Director

BY BRANDI SMITH

There are few pieces of legislation that could pass through the Texas Legislature with unanimous votes, but one could also argue that there are few organizations as valuable to the Texas economy as the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University.

institute,” Laguarta recalled during a 2007 interview.

“When our last funding increase went through, there was not a single vote against us in the Senate,” said Gary Maler, the center’s director.

“We had the bill prepared by TAR’s general counsel, and then went to meet with the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house,” said Laguarta. “They gave it their blessing, and away we went.”

Maler and those who preceded him in the position know the center’s challenges and triumphs, making the vote all that more satisfying.

“Unanimous. I'll take that any day,” Maler said.

“Away we went”

As the two discussed the organization, Laguarta realized the value of such a center in Texas, where more than 100,000 people held real estate licenses. He took his idea to the Texas Association of Realtors in the weeks that followed, convincing leadership to go in on a venture that was by all accounts a gamble.

“As welcome as a skunk at a picnic” However, getting something as complex as a real estate research center up and running wasn’t that simple; the next task was finding a place to house it.

“The natural thought was, ‘Well, we have the legislature and the capital in Austin.

TAR’s office is in Austin. Many of the state associations, home builders and real estate-related organizations are in Austin,’” Laguarta said.

“UT was the logical choice.”

The Center, which is now “the nation’s largest publicly funded organization devoted to real estate research,” has come a long way since its humble beginnings The administrators at the more than 45 years ago, University of Texas’ school of but its story goes even business did not agree. They did further back to late accept a meeting with Laguarta, 1960s. That’s when Julio but it didn’t go as he had hoped.

Laguarta, an instructor for the Realtors National “We felt as welcome as a skunk Marketing Institute, met at a picnic,” remembered Howard Benedict, a CCIM Laguarta. “They didn’t like from Connecticut. As the the idea of real estate, period, two discussed Benedict’s Late 1960s. Julio Laguarta had the idea especially in the curriculum at for a Texas “institute” dedicated to real presentation, Laguarta estate research. the UT business school.

not going to be receptive to housing the Center.“

“We considered all the options”

UT’s refusal eventually led to a meeting with Texas A&M’s Dr. A.B. “Pat” Wooten, which Laguarta recalled vividly: “Wooten sat at a gun metal desk with chairs to match. His office had few appointments. Wooten wore old, beat-up cowboy boots, a white, longsleeved shirt, and khaki pants. From his pocket dangled a string. I quickly learned it was his bag of Bull Durham tobacco; he proceeded to roll a cigarette.”

Laguarta, who initially thought Wooten was an “A&M rube,” would eventually come to know him as a visionary.

“He was a very astute real estate professional and he got the picture,” Laguarta said.

It was decided initially that the Center would be located within the College of Agriculture instead of the university’s College of Business Administration.

On May 18, 1971. Gov. Preston Smith signed Senate Bill 338 creating the Center. L to R: Ervin W. Luedtke, Julio Laguarta, Robert Hale, Rep. Delwin Jones, Lawrence Miller, Dr. Harry O. Kunkel, Sen. William T. Moore, Dr. A.B. Wooten and Cecil Culpepper.

“We considered all the options, but upon close examination, we found real estate did not fit any better into the narrowly defined areas of finance or marketing,” Wooten told the Center’s senior editor in an interview earlier this year. “In fact, it was more closely aligned with the broad area of study encompassed by agricultural economics.”

Now that it had a home, the next step in getting the Center up and running was to get lawmaker approval. Legislation creating the Real Estate Center made it through the Senate with few arguments. However, it got stalled in committee when it reached the House, before eventually passing on May 6, 1971. Less than two weeks later, Gov. Preston Smith signed the legislation into law.

“Years later, Preston Smith sent us a letter saying it was the best piece of legislation he'd ever signed,” said Maler.

“A university experience”

Wooten, who had been a tenured professor on campus, was named the first-ever director on Feb. 29, 1972. He said, while working on getting the Center set up, he never intended to be put in charge, but he attacked the challenge head-on.

The first year of the Center was spent hiring staff (it had 18 employees by the end of

1972. Dr. A.B. ‘Pat’ Wooten was named first director of the Texas Real Estate Research Center.

its first fiscal year) and figuring out the parameters for the research projects it would take on.

“The organizational structure of the research center was based on the traditional landgrant concept — research, education and communication,” said Wooten. “It was a model that was proven to be successful, and it fit our legislative mandate exactly.”

Almost overnight, the Center started making a name for itself in Texas’ real estate world.

One of the first projects undertaken by staff was to build a rural land catalog, but the Center was also the recipient of the Census Bureau’s monthly building permit data. It also tackled massive research projects, such as a survey of the more than 66,000 Texans with real estate licenses.

The legislature also mandated that, in

addition to providing information for professionals, the Center also help consumers.

It did just that starting in 1974 when it launched educational programs such as “How and When to Sell Your Land” and the “Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974.”

envisioned. It has surpassed our expectations.

And for Texans that’s saying quite a lot,” he told the audience at the ceremony.

“SOARS was a university experience for the broker who had been out there humpin’ it and trying to make a sale,” said Doug Moore, former head of the Center’s education division. “Some university graduates in attendance thought we should be giving tests all the time. We had to run SOARS when Texas A&M students were not on campus. But the summertime was a hard time to recruit real estate professionals because that was their prime selling season. But it was a good time to get instructors, most of whom were Ph.D. level people from other universities.”

dividends for the Center, Texas A&M and the real estate industry of Texas.”

The Center’s location in the College of Agriculture had added benefits: the creation of a graduate real estate program under the Master of Agriculture in 1972. It has since evolved to become the Master of Land Economics and Real Estate, then the Master of Real Estate after the Center became part of the Mays Business School.

1976. Dr. Stephen Phyrr from the University of Texas lectured at the

Also in 1974, the Center started its School of Advanced Real Estate Subjects, or SOARS, to provide more Center’s Studies of Advanced Real Estate Subjects (SOARS) program. training “These students for Texas left Texas A&M and real estate formed a network of well-educated leaders professionals. The formal education was of most of the state’s important real estate offered to offset some of the shorter training related organizations, such as the Veterans programs that were so common in the Land Board, the State Property Tax Board industry. and others,” said Wooten. “This has paid big

The Center’s emphasis on education was also marked by its early $100,000 endowments of two professorships: the William Jennings Professorship at the University of Texas at Austin and the Julia Laguarta Professorship at Texas A&M.

“The objective of establishing the professorship is in keeping with the mandate ... to work with colleges and universities in Texas,” said Dr. Wooten. “It’s only appropriate the professorship (at Texas A&M) be established in Laguarta’s name because he has been a strong supporter of real estate education for many years.”

A ceremony celebrating that professorship drew Laguarta to the Center for the first time in November 1981, giving him a chance to see the Center he helped create.

“It has become even more than the founders

In 1977, the Center started printing Tierra Grande, its quarterly flagship magazine.

The publication has received endless accolades in its nearly 40 years, but in 2016, the International Association of Business Communicators honored Tierra Grande with its 2016 Gold Quill Award. The magazine was one of only 10 U.S. winners, despite more than 650 entries from all around the world.

“Music to my soul”

The Center would get its second director, Richard L. Floyd, after Wooten’s abrupt retirement due to health issues.

“He was a full professor of agricultural economics, and that is all he wanted to do. He was the true professor and the students loved him,” said Floyd.

That was the first substantial leadership change for the Center, which would evolve right along with the Texas real estate industry. That culture of change is what invigorates current director Gary Maler.

“I read a lot about creativity, spark, all those kinds of things. That's juice to me. That's like music to my soul,” he said. “I'm not a guy who says, ‘We're going to maintain the status quo.

We're going to maintain the Center where it is.’ I would be bored to death.”

“At that point, I think they just said, ‘Who else is in a better position to lead the Center than someone who knows everything about it, really?’” said Maler.

“Where's that sweet spot?”

Maler, who was hired when Wooten led the Center, said he never intended to stay on for nearly four decades.

“I thought, ‘Well, I don't have a job. I'll do this for a couple years and then I'll go do something else,’” recalled Maler. “[Wooten] was a great guy and he had a great group of people doing fun things, challenging things.

I love being around bright people. There are extremely bright people here. I ended up staying 38 years now.”

His tenure hasn’t been without challenges.

Maler assumed the interim director position

from Jim Christian during a period when funding was scarce.

“We needed refinancing or we were going to go out of business,” said Maler. “I had to build a case to the industry to go to the legislature to ask them to take more money from the industry. That basically means the brokers had to say, ‘Up my fees to take care of the Center.’”

Maler managed to pull it off, securing the Center’s longevity, just as a new director came on board. It would be several more years before Maler would officially be chosen to lead the Center in 2012.

Just as technology has morphed substantially, so has the Center’s approach to disseminating the information it compiles. As an example, Maler cited his organizations’ incredible data pools.

“We have a four-way partnership now with TAR, the local associations of realtors, every board in the state. We electronically download every single house that's listed and sold in the state of Texas through all the Multiple Listing Services going back five years,” he said. “We can pair that data with our government data that we have about economics, job growth, population and characteristics. Then we can determine just about anything about those neighborhoods and what's happening in the marketplace.”

The Center intentionally leaves a large chunk of its calendar year open for shortterm research projects that may crop up, specifically to meet the immediate need of consumers and professionals. Maler said one of the topics he expects staffers to start investigating is price strategy related to property listings and changes in pricing.

“When you look at that ratio compared to days on market, you can start to see what kind of discount people are taking on various durations,” said Gerald Klassen, a research data scientist at the Center. “Where's that sweet spot where you think the market is?

People want to go up a little bit higher, but how much higher should you go? We want to figure out what that pricing structure is.”

Maler said, while the Center has vast knowledge of existing home sales, his goal in the next five years is to get better insight into commercial real estate and the new home sales market.

“My hope is that before I hang up my spurs, the Center will be able to forecast the magnitude of growth, population and development activity in the state of Texas,” Maler said. “I think we're going to do it.”

In the 45 years since its inception, The Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University has fundamentally changed how real estate is studied, analyzed and approached not just in Texas, but nationally. Under the leadership of director Maler, as well as its passionate staff, it will no doubt blaze even more new trails in the years to come. l

Spacing Out:

Houston's new spaceport promises endless development opportunities

Steven A. González

Arturo Machuca

BY BRANDI SMITH

International travel is about to take a wild detour, offering expedited trips just about anywhere in the world thanks to a network of spaceports cropping up all over the globe.

One of those, the tenth in the U.S., is the Houston Spaceport at Ellington Airport.

Put simply, a spaceport is a site from which spacecraft are launched. Those craft could carry freight or passengers, depending on its intended use, though it’s likely space tourism will come first as a means of paying for future development.

“The technology would start off by having joy rides to space with paying customers for $200,000,” said Steven A. González, the associate manager of the Strategic Partnership Office at the NASA Johnson Space Center. “Eventually [it] will allow for proven technology to get us over to China in four hours or to get to Australia in four hours.

It's probably still a dozen years away for that, but that is the plan.”

The means of transportation will be vehicles created not by NASA, but by private companies, such as SpaceX, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin.

“Richard Branson's vehicle flies over the Gulf. Underneath it is the rocket, but once it gets over the Gulf, it drops the rocket,” González explained. “The plane flies back and then the rocket goes up about 70 or 80 14

November 2016

miles over the Gulf, floats around for about five minutes and comes back down again.

Then $200,000 dollars later, you've gotten to fly for five minutes.”

XCOR, by comparison, offers an integrated vehicle that doesn’t drop the rocket. Instead, González said, “It has an airborne engine that turns into a rocket and then comes back down again and flies like an airplane.”

"The long-term vision for a spaceport is to be able to enable point-to-point travel, anywhere in the world in four hours" - Steven A. Gonzalez The space tourism industry was meant to have taken off more than a decade ago. After all, when Sir Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin, first launched Virgin Galactic, he suggested commercial passengers would be able to visit the edge of space by 2009. Though more than 700 would-be space visitors have paid up to $250,000 for the promised trip, none have gone up. Yet. It only seems natural that Space City, being the home of NASA, would help propel these efforts forward. In addition to its aerospace roots, Houston also offers additional incentive for technology companies to invest in its spaceport.

“Houston has commerce through the airports, through the Port of Houston, through the rail system and through the

interstate,” said González.

“Now it can leverage those commerce legs in order to support spaceport operations, because the long-term vision for a spaceport is to be able to enable point-to-point travel, anywhere in the world in four hours.”

When it was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration last August, Houston’s spaceport was the tenth such project in the country. Others can be found in Oklahoma, California and New Mexico.

But Houston-area leaders feel theirs holds an advantage over the others: it is the only one located in a metropolitan city.

“I know that Arturo Machuco, the director of Ellington, likes to talk to Richard Branson and Virgin Atlantic and tell them, ‘You know, you can go to New Mexico, but when you're finished paying $200,000 and you land, what have you got? What do you have to see?

Come to Houston. Afterward, you can go down to take a cruise of Galveston. You can go see a show. You can at least stay at a nice four- or five-star hotel. Not too many of them right there next to [New Mexico’s] Spaceport America,’” González said.

Far from competition with other spaceports, managers of Houston’s site are working with others in the Lone Star State to develop what González called a “Texas strategy.”

That includes properties in Midland and Brownsville.

“Let's not compete against one another; let's work together. Each has a unique business model and a unique community that they are targeting,” said González. “For example, we have the expertise here in Houston with the

NASA Johnson Space Center. Brownsville doesn't have the expertise yet. Is there a way to develop things in Houston and be able to partner up with the community down there?”

As commercial space travel generates more money and draws new interest, development will continue at the Houston Spaceport. Currently, crews are working on an innovation center.

"We are developing infrastructure of the future and we're just getting it started," said Arturo Machuca, the spaceport’s general manager. "We still have plenty of good challenges in development ahead of us." “[The goal is] to be able to attract technology companies, to attract startup companies, to attract universities and industries that are able to see the potential of what happens when this new commerce exit is introduced to Houston,” González said.

The innovation park is in the design phase and will go out for bids for construction after that, according to González. In the meantime, spaceport managers are also building economic partnerships that will lead to long-term investments.

“[They are working on] two very major aerospace deals to come in there,” González

said. “They're exciting companies. They will transform the community because it really will be pushing the envelope as far as the technology that they are able to introduce, and bring Houston into the next generation of space exploration.”

"We still have plenty of good challenges in development ahead of us."

- Arturo Machuca Already, the spaceport has a tenant: Intuitive Machines, a company that develops “engineering solutions at the unimagined intersections between energy, medicine and aerospace,” moved into a 53,000-square-foot office building neighboring NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab on Aug. 1.

"It's a great opportunity and experience for us," said Health Mooney, director of production facilities management at Intuitive Machines. "We're the first ones (tenants) here. This is a burgeoning industry that will only grow and we want to be a part of it."

“He's also looking at a couple other innovative startup companies to go in there. They're quickly starting to fill up that facility.”

This month, the Houston Spaceport will likely be a focus of the 2017 Space Commerce Conference and Exposition (or SpaceCom) at the George R. Brown Convention Center. The conference, touted as the “largest dedicated space commerce event in the U.S.,” runs from Nov. 15 to Nov. 17. González said more than 39 U.S. states and 32 countries will be represented by the more than 1,700 expected attendees.

“It's wonderful for the city to come to NASA to say, ‘We would like to create an event that will reclaim our Space City identity,” González said.

Reclaim it, Houston has. Decades after NASA’s creation, the city once again leads the way, blazing a new path forward with space and technology. l

“[Machuco]’s also negotiating deals with an international company called Catapult, which specializes in satellite imagery data and analysis for industry,” said González.

Houston Industrial, Q3 2016 Delivery of Daikin plant heats up NW submarket in Q3 2016 TRENDS Despite the Houston industrial market continuing to feel the effects of the precipitous oil price drop of 2015, fundamentals and development activity remain sound at an overall vacancy of 5.3%, and the market continues to experience positive net absorption.

Availabilities and reduced activity in the oilfield services and manufacturing sectors remain a drag on the local economy, but both stabilizing oil prices and forecasts of rising prices in the medium-term give hope that the rout may soon be over and pave the way for renewed industry expansion. While break-even price points for several North American shale plays have been met, confidence for longer-term stable prices must be rebuilt and additional time must be accounted for in the case of supply line spin up in the oil field services sector.

The delivery of the Daikin manufacturing facility at 290 and the Grand Parkway was a major boost to absorption in the Northwest submarket, and is a similarly large boost to employment in the area, as the facility will support an estimated 5,000 new jobs at full capacity.

Daikin’s roughly 4 million sq. ft. manufacturing and distribution facility is the largest tilt wall structure in the world, and represents the footprint of about 70 football fields. This facility is the product of an estimated half-billion dollars of investment

by Japan-based Daikin and consolidates the operations of four existing plants in its Goodman air conditioning division—two of which were already in Houston.

El Paso Industrial, Q3 2016 Back in the black; net absorption rebounds positively •

Net absorption returned to positive territory after seeing negative figures in the previous quarter for the first time in 2 years.

•

Overall industrial vacancy remained flat at 8.7%.

•

Vacancy for competitive, Class A space of 100,000 sq. ft. or less is the tightest segment at 2.1%.

•

Market-wide average asking rents remained above record-high levels.

•

New construction projects started moving dirt in Santa Teresa – additional project planned.

POSITIVE ANNUAL TERRITORY STILL HOLDS ON The local market saw positive net absorption this quarter after registering its first negative net absorption in Q2 2016 since the recovery began in early 2014. Leasing activity remained healthy in Q3 2016 and year-to-date market net absorption increased in positive territory. The overall industrial vacancy rate remained steady, but healthy at just below 9.0%.

Water woes:

Texas developers weigh in

Larry Johnson

Mark Sappington

BY BRANDI SMITH

In October’s REDNews, we explored the topic of Texas water issues and their impact on development in the Lone Star State. This month, we’re tackling the same issues from the developers’ perspective.

Flooding is a significant and welldocumented issue throughout Texas, especially in the Houston area. Looking back to 1929 and especially 1935, data reveals the Bayou City’s longstanding battle with floodwaters.

In December 1935, water rushed through downtown Houston, causing damage that totaled nearly $3 million ($52 million in today’s dollars).

“That year, it got so deep in downtown, it went up to the second floor of the buildings, “ said Mark Sappington, vice president at Cobb, Fendley & Associates. “There's actually video that you can see on YouTube showing the water rushing by, inundating all of the buildings at a lower part of downtown.”

That flood resulted in the formation of the Harris County Flood Control District, which has since created multiple bayous and other mitigation tools to minimize the flood potential in the Houston area.

“The Flood Control District, I think, has done just a marvelous job of putting together and implementing a plan for a series of regional basins to control the transference of the flow from upstream to downstream. By putting in some very large regional detention basins, they have lowered the amount of water that's continuing downstream, and have, 24

November 2016

I feel, significantly lowered the flooding effects that would have been,” Sappington said.

Experts say one of the reasons flooding in Houston, as well as other parts of Texas, has caused so much damage in recent years is because of the exponential growth and development during that time.

“The key not to lose here is that Houston has always flooded,” said Sappington. " The Key not to lose here is that Houston has always flooded," said Sappington.

“It's kind of a love-hate relationship, but development can be done in a proper way that doesn't affect or worsen the flooding upstream or downstream.”

Developers have mounted efforts to minimize the impact on the floodplain, even as demand for growth and new development

for administering the Clean Water Act get involved, i.e. TCEQ, Texas Parks and Wildlife and the Texas Historical Commission.”

With so many different organizations involved, the permitting process alone can take anywhere from one to three years, according to Johnson.

“It takes a team of consultants, lawyers, engineers, and environmental specialists to guide you through the process,” he said.

The end result, though, is a responsible approach to resource management, mitigating the impact of flooding as much as possible. Still, despite their best efforts, developers often receive blame during historic flooding events.

boomed. Sappington says the key idea is “do no harm.”

“In developing the floodplain, the engineer and the developer ensure through modeling and other means that they are not raising water surface elevations upstream or downstream,” said Sappington.

He went on to explain that, while Harris County does allow filling of the floodplain, any volume the developer fills must be excavated nearby in a “tit-for-tat ratio.”

“That protects the people downstream, so you're not creating problems and you're not affecting downstream property owners with more water, higher flows and higher elevations,” Sappington said. “The development community, by far, plays by the rules and has a good record of wanting to do what is right.”

Larry Johnson, president and CEO of The Johnson Development Corp., said that’s

especially true when working on a masterplanned community.

“We have to go through a long and complicated process,” he said.

“We have to go through a long and complicated process,” he said.

That process begins with the local flood control administrator. If the project poses any environmental impact, which happens more often than not, Johnson said the next step is applying for a permit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“Once we go to the USACE, virtually every other federal resource agency and environmental group, i.e. the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Fish and Wildlife, gets input on the permit,” he said.

“The state agencies that are responsible

With so many different organizations involved, the permitting process alone can take anywhere from one to three years, according to Johnson.

“It is a very emotional issue. I mean, when you are standing with water in your home, you want to blame someone,” Sappington said. “I feel unjustified sound-bites can undo a lot of good engineering and good development that gets painted as being the cause of the flooding when it really isn't.”

The cause, Sappington said, is simple: when you get upwards of 15 inches of rain in a matter of hours, there’s nowhere for it to go in the Houston area.

“We're flat. Water travels very slowly. We don't have mountains. We don't have water rushing down; it moves very slowly from upstream to downstream,” he described.

“As it goes slowly, it spreads out and, being flat, just a little bit of rise in water surface elevation inundates a lot more area."

Despite its geographic challenges, Texas development shows no signs of slowing as the state’s population grows by the thousands. It’s imperative to remember in the years to come, especially during the next flooding event, that developers are working to strike a tenuous balance between the overwhelming need presented by the influx of people to Texas and the environmental obstacles posed by Mother Nature. l Credit: Pinnacle Design / Build Group Inc.

Interview with Larry Johnson

Ray talks to Larry Johnson with Johnson Development Corporation about master-planned communities and development

BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

Larry, you are an icon in the development of master- planned communities.

Going back to your earliest days in the business world, how did you start, and how did that evolve into developing residential communities?

R

I first got into the real estate business when I was going to law school at the University of Texas when I went to work for a small real estate brokerage company selling low priced homes and decided I liked real estate better than being a lawyer. I moved to Houston in 1962 and continued working in real estate. Next I joined a commercial brokerage firm and specialized in selling land to developers. My first small development was in 1964, and I gradually gravitated to the master -planned communities.

Over the years, how have the amenities you feel you must offer in your communities changed? Can you describe the current amenities which are common to your developments today?

R

Over the years, the amenities have changed from a small swimming pool, tennis courts and playground to large recreational parks with water park and large swimming pools, sport parks, walking trails, open spaces, meeting places, restaurants, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, soccer fields and exercise facilities. The Lifestyle Directors in our communities plan numerous activities and events for our residents. We had over 28

November 2016

one hundred events last year.

Also, we have created charitable foundations in our communities to support technology, health and wellness, environment and education goals in the communities they serve.

All segments of CRE have cycles, and you are in a number of markets across the US, each one presumably with its own cycle. How do you gauge the cycles, to be ready with new product just at the right time? Is there a magic statistic that you have come to trust, and pivot on?

R

Our master-planned communities are long term projects. You have to plan on going through one or more economic cycles and structure your financing to anticipate some down cycles. We gauge the cycles by watching the economy, and most importantly, job growth. We are in constant communication with our homebuilders who work directly with the homebuyers.

If all goes well, how long do you budget for a community to sell out? Due to your reputation, are you able to pre-sell a high percentage of lots to waiting developers before you break ground?

R

Most of our communities are budgeted to sell out in 8 – 15 years depending on size and anticipated absorption. We rarely sell lots before we break ground. We do business with most of the major builders and have an idea who our buyers will be when planning the new communities.

R

What thought do you give to convenient mobility /

transit access when planning a development in a major market?

We give a lot of thought to mobility and location. Most of our communities are suburban and have little or no access to public transit but have access to major roadways.

Larry, you have been honored with the designation "Scenic Visionary"

by Scenic Houston, one of our city's most venerable and successful civic organizations.

What aesthetic contributions have your communities pioneered that caught the eye of Scenic Houston? What have you done over the years in your communities that has been copied / imitated by competitors, resulting in rising standards overall for the communities in which you have developed?

R

We have always placed a huge emphasis on landscaping and maintenance. We have created ten thousand acres of parks and open space, two thousand acres of lakes and wetlands, two hundred thirty-five miles of walking trails and planted tens of thousands of trees. We have converted drainage ditches and bayous to major landscaped parks, recreation spaces and detention areas. A prime example of such a restoration was the award-winning regeneration of Flewellen Creek in Cross Creek Ranch into a major amenity, wildlife area and regional attraction and winner of the H-GAC 2013 Parks and Natural Area Award. One of our developments in Arlington, Texas named Viridian, is Audubon International Gold Certified.

Larry Johnson

Viridian is one of the only masterplanned communities in Texas designed to meet Audubon Gold Signature Standards and was, in fact, recently named “Certified Gold Signature Sanctuary.” Probably one of the most copied by our competitors are our water parks, amenities centers and Community Foundations. A new innovation is the start of Houston’s first Agrihood, Harvest Green, a farmcentered community.

Do you have any thoughts for young professionals wanting to enter into commercial real estate? Does one segment stand out in your mind as offering more opportunity right now than all the others?

R

I think the commercial real estate business is very rewarding. You can feel a great deal of self-satisfaction and financial benefits. Probably the retail business has more opportunities right now.

Enough on the business side...when not working, what do you do for fun?

R

My job IS what I do for fun, when you enjoy what you’re doing you really can’t consider it “working”……

For many years my number one hobby was flying airplanes and I’ve been a pilot for over forty years.

I still enjoy flying but now I am just a passenger. My wife Suzie and I spend a lot of time in the Hill Country. I was raised farming and ranching so it gets me back to my roots. We have five children, Larry, Chad, Scott, Nick and Jennifer, and seven grandchildren, all living in Houston. We enjoy spending time with them. We have a very busy and blessed life. l

BoyarMiller Breakfast Forum: The Current State of Capital Markets 2016 Speakers: Drew Kanaly, Kanaly Trust; Cliff Atherton, GulfStar Group; John Sarvadi, Texas Capital Bank

BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

• One trillion dollars of ‘dry

powder’ (cash available for deals) is in the system

• Private investors chasing deals for yield compete with banks for some loans; tranches of ‘alternative capital’ come with healthy yields to investor/ lenders

TAKEAWAY: The U.S. economy is not in a full, robust “growth mode” because it is still in one of the longest recoveries following one of the deepest depressions. We are recovering, not expanding. Most recessions have been followed by robust growth, but not this one.

• Federal regulations designed

to prevent a future meltdown of the financial system are creating burdens on lenders; new regulations are “creeping in” wherever a future problem could arise, such as auto finance and payday lenders

• There is very strict regulatory

guidance on leveraged lending; we need to prevent another Great Recession in the future

• Banking is less profitable in a

low-interest rate scenario like we are now in

is some downside risk in the economy

• We are in a very unusual time,

• With rates so low, the Fed has

fewer “bullets” in case we have another downturn, and there

and business owners should take advantage of capital at low rates, by refinancing or arranging commitments for the future at current rates; raise capital ‘opportunistically’

O’Connor & Associates Multi-Family (MF) Luncheon Speakers: Jason Baker – Baker Katz; Alan Hassenflu-Fidelis; Jeff Read-Read King

BY RAY HANKAMER rhankamer@gmail.com

TAKEAWAY: Occupancies in Classes B, C, & D are exceptionally high; Class A less so. Market should stabilize by early 2018. Investment sales are healthy with lots of 1031 money coming in from other states.

• Owners must sharpen up their operations to attract tenants

• Leased single family homes are in demand so rents are rising, driving tenants to MF

• Seniors are a new tenant

segment for MF operators, as they retire and downsize

• There will be a sharp drop

in supply growth beginning in 2018, as soon as projects currently under construction are delivered to the market

• There is no construction

financing available for new MF projects

• 2/3 of MF supply in Houston is in Class B, C, & D-occupancy

in B & C is 93-95% and for D is 90%, up from traditional 75%

• Lots of out of state investment (1031 especially) money looking for yield in Houston-a recent project for sale

• Houston MF projects are

selling at a premium over those in other Texas cities
