It's well known among real estate professionals that home sales have been slowing across the Portland metro region. Closed sales dropped 6.7 percent in Q3 2019 versus the same quarter last year to 9,506 in 97 ZIP codes with sales in Clackamas, Clark, Multnomah and Washington counties.

Bucking this trend, though, are 25 ZIP codes where activity is still quite balmy despite the onset of fall weather.

With the acquisition, the company now owns 68 apartment complexes throughout the United States.

Local downtown developer Weston Urban has named two new vice presidents, Mark Jensen and Reeves Craig, to focus on multifamily development. The duo, each with the title of co-vice president of multifamily development, will be in charge of adding mixed-use, multifamily developments that complement the growth in San Antonio's urban center.

“We will continue to build our team around our mission and purpose. We are all here to help build the city that San Antonio’s children will call home,” Weston…

Local houses are still being bought, sold and built at a steady clip, just not as quickly as a couple of years ago.

Metropolitan areas found in the nation's Sun Belt region rank particularly high when it comes to drawing in new residents from other U.S. metros, and Charlotte is no exception, according to a new study.

This past week, I visited Boston to speak to our country’s state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) about how a well-functioning, properly regulated mortgage finance system is critical to addressing the nation’s shortage of affordable housing. While the economy has been booming the past few years in Massachusetts and America, as state HFA leaders know, we face an affordable housing crisis.

Here in Boston and across the nation, too many families lack what all Americans deserve: an affordable…

AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver PostDeveloper Michael Eisenstein says he has concerns about the development plan for the Phillips-66-owned property right next to a small plot of land he owns in town. Eisenstein toured the property on Sept. 17.It’s Louisville’s land of opportunity, and it could be a bustling place a decade from now if a Denver development firm has its way.

However, a neighboring property owner and developer is hoping Louisville officials see things from his perspective and reject plans he feels are too big, too dense and born of a mind-set that emphasizes profit over quality.

Phillips 66 has made no bones about wanting to offload roughly 430 acres of highly visibly, highway-accessible real estate it owns at the northwest notch of U.S. 36 and the Northwest Parkway in Louisville. A potential buyer has the property under contract, but Phillips 66 officials have declined to say who.

The city of Louisville’s “current developments” web page provides a solid clue. Since June, D..

On some hilly, former ranch land along Colorado 72, Clifton Oertli found something beyond rare in the Denver area these days: A beer desert. That’s right: A place not already served by a resident brewery or, as is the case in many urban neighborhoods, breweries.

Well, it was a beer desert until Oertli and the team with Centennial-based Resolute Brewing Co. opened their second location, a taproom and barrel-aging cellar at 18148 W. 92nd Lane, Suite 100 in May. Now folks living in Arvada’s long-planned, now fast-growing Candelas community have a place to wet their whistles without taking a Lyft or Uber to Olde Town, Golden or elsewhere, and maybe try some exclusive barrel-aged beers to boot.

“It already feels like it’s been a lot longer than it has because it feels like a community taproom or pub,” Oertli said. “We’ve already developed a great set of regulars. We have a couple that drives a golf cart to the taproom.”

Resolute was the first tenant in the Candelas Point retail center, a..

Lamenting the “Californication” of Colorado is a favored pastime for some natives, but don’t expect commercial real estate agents to do much griping about the Bay Area-ification of the Denver metro area.

After all, big-time tech companies from in and around San Francisco have helped make their lives easier over the last decade, soaking up a combined 900,000 square feet of commercial space in the greater Denver-Boulder area since 2010, according to a new report. That’s a figure that makes the Mile High metro one of the country’s top 10 markets for attracting Northern California tech firms looking for outposts away from home.

The report, released earlier this month by real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield, is titled “The Great Tech Migration” and it details the expansion of 89 established technology and life-science companies headquartered in the Bay Area over the past decade. Of those companies, 58 have set up satellite locations in other cities across America since 2010. Twen..

The mystery of who has been eyeing a prime piece of Louisville commercial real estate for a major new corporate outpost has been solved.

The company is Medtronic, the world’s largest manufacturer of insulin pumps, catheters and other medical devices, and the Louisville City Council on Tuesday will discuss whether or not to offer $1.5 million in incentives to lure it to town.

Medtronic employs around 2,000 people in the Denver metro area, according to a staff summary included in next week’s Louisville City Council agenda. It is looking to relocate those workers and add 500 to 1,000 more at a new campus over the next several years. It is considering a chunk of land northwest of the U.S. 36-Northwest Parkway interchange in southern Louisville for that project, according to that summary.

The property is the former corporate home of data storage firm StorageTek. A decade ago, ConocoPhillips was planning a state-of-the-art energy research lab there with 7,000 jobs but the project never ma..
