As Real Estate Developers and investors, we have a profound obligation to create the types of places that our worthy of people spending their hard earned money on, and time in, and that impact the block around them well.

In order to realize true success, we have to be mindful of all of the various elements that make a good project (the people who will occupy it, the design, the planning, the landscaping/urban design elements, the interiors and its community level impact)). Only then does the bottom line come into view. Without a comprehensive and well considered project, returns will inevitably be lackluster, as the best projects represent sustained and meaningful investments, not fly by night attempts to make a few dollars. Real Estate, especially at the commercial level, is about shaping our cities into visions of what we want them to be. We have a special power to do that as real estate professionals, and we have to wield that carefully.

Hopefully some of you find some value in these rules for the road of successful real estate projects!
