I’ve assembled my 24-post #masstimber campaign into a single thread. Enjoy.
Inspired by the likes of @moseskagan, @DallasAptGP, @bobbyfijan and others in the #REtwit community, I’m going to focus on sharing about #masstimber. The goal is a post every day for the next 30 days. Let’s get started with a non-obvious one: logistics. Unlike concrete, which is almost always sourced and mixed locally, mass timber is only manufactured in a handful of geographies across North America. That means limitations on panel size, and costs with oversized panels, if trucking the material. If you’re shipping it (like we did, from Austria), then it’s limited by container size. The panel sizes impact design, and construction schedules, because larger panels go faster. It’s something we don’t need to think through in concrete construction.

Amazing to see the Pacers players coming back to the hotel after the game with Avli restaurant bags… in which Giannis is an investor/owner. That’s class.

A comment on an article about workforce housing. Those “crooks” are often pension funds - teachers, firefighters, public employees, etc - they represent 30 to 40% of all institutional real estate equity. So, to fix housing, email these people and tell them to live on less.

Roughly 30% of my husband duties are telling my wife when the cooktop is too hot, and when her coffee is getting cold.

Worth a few minutes for those who have questioned the @realDonaldTrump administration’s recent deportation of Mahmoud Khalil.
On with the renowned @DrPhil last night to discuss the Khalil case, but first I had to set the record straight after the lawyer from CAIR straight up lied about a number of important facts and legal concepts. The difference between his "facts" and mine? Mine have citations.

Up until 11 pm, drafting talking points for an upcoming Milwaukee-Madison thought leadership trip with @Ian_Mke It’s been nearly 2 years of advocacy for a comprehensive workforce housing program in Milwaukee. Still no result. This is a big reason why housing is unaffordable.

It's the EXACT same thing with rental housing. Good ideas and intentions litter the road to hell. It usually costs considerably more to build an affordable unit than a market rate unit, wasting taxpayer dollars and reducing the # of affordable units built due to regulation.
Jon Stewart just went viral for reasons no one could believe. On his weekly podcast, he finally realized "Elon was right" about govt corruption. But that was just the beginning. Here's the moment that left him (literally) speechless: đź§µ

OK #retwit - let's deliver some substance. I'll soon be moderating a panel at a multifamily symposium with a CEO of a major CRE sales/financing firm, head of equity for a large CRE investment bank, and a VP of a national developer. The panel will focus on what the next multifamily real estate cycle could look like. From 2011-2020, we had low interest rates and a ton of production. The last 5 years have been broken by COVID, construction costs and interest rates. Homeowners with low-interest-rate loans are frozen in place. And now, the tariffs. There are certainly investment opportunities in buying existing product, and sometimes updating those buildings to charge higher rents, but at some point, the market will want new. How could that work? What happens to affordability? What questions would you want answered? I’ll update afterwards with main takeaways.

Imagine! A 1,000’ tall mass timber building. It’s easy. You don’t need any development expertise. I just created this using AI in a few minutes. Anyone can. Next, the pro forma. Raise $300m because crypto blockchain is the future. Investor returns 🚀 🚀 🚀 .

🤡 I live in the neighborhood. Have never parked more than a block away. The parking objection is so tired. Is there a lot of parking on Brady Street? Tosa Village? Or any active district in any major city?

Replying to @TimGokhman
Nowhere to park in that area. No access to the apartment and bank. Hooligans would go down. Apartments took two large public parking lots in the last 10 years. Bars and restaurants disappeared, and struggled to stay open. Major boondoggle. Family property in area for over 40 years.

Example of a developer/owner that understands infusing people and activity which will lead to better leasing and sales for tenants of 1st floor retail Useless road abandoned for public space which is now the center of the area for people to meet
Is my obsession with improving public spaces going to get easier with GPT4o’s new abilities? The Ivanhoe Plaza gets a lot of use DESPITE its current cracked asphalt, curbs, etc. Imagine how much more it would be used if fixed up!! GPT did, and it’s pretty good!

This is one of the coolest mass timber projects in the world - The Hive. Incredibly complex engineering that delivers some unique solutions on this office project. Balconies, big open spans, clean ceilings. Kudos to @BentallGreenOak, Fast Epp, @DIALOG and @NaturesPath.

I’m an urbanist. My family has chosen to live in the city of Milwaukee, despite the higher costs vs the suburbs. We develop high density multifamily. The take below is terrible, awful, tone deaf and uninformed. The US is vast, and so are its people’s housing preferences.

I unironically believe if you actually had housing abundance, suburbs would literally vanish off the face of america. It would just be rural and urban. They're the worst of cities (noise, annoying neighbors, far from nature) and the worst of rural areas (being far from everything) with literally zero redeeming qualities.

Yes, there are suburban development practices that are deeply problematic, including what highways and lack of walkability do to society. But to paint with such a broad brushstroke betrays a brazen thoughtlessness.

Arrival/exit at Changi (Singapore). The feeling is incredible, rejuvenating, and inspirational. Constantly thinking how I can apply this in our building designs. Will get here early on the way out to see the walking net and topiary.
No matter where I go, I notice the built environment. Sometimes drives the family nuts. This is Taiwan International Airport - and the most biophilic gate I’ve ever seen. It creates such a peaceful and relaxing feeling. Singapore is next.
