The energy/water nexus
June 6th, 2011

I was invited to deliver a speech at the 2007 AIA national convention on integrating sustainable design within historic building envelopes. Our team was the only developer/builder in the United States to have achieved a LEED Platinum rating for a 19th century landmark single-family dwelling—a stroke of innovation made possible by the team in place that was charged with one overriding principle: question and rethink every component, going back to the 1890s original blueprints, if needed, to decode the energy load thrown off by 21st-century technologies.

This article is the final installment about the impact our changing demography will have on the United States’ housing markets and will provide a glimpse of the census that we don’t see: trends, markers and milestones. Where are these future inhabitants going to live? What is the future of housing in a world of diminished natural resources?

It’s official. The U.S. population now stands at 308,745,538 (up from 281,421,906 in 2000). This three-part series seeks to examine how this figure—and the supporting unseen data it carries—will notably affect how we build and provide multifamily/single-family housing in the United States.

January 25th, 2011

So, did any of my predictions from last year come true? I was correct in six out of seven predictions: disappearance of secondary markets, ineffective underwriting, emerging green/sustainable sector, recognition of obsolete procedures of acquisition (property insurance, appraisal, property tax), most real estate market cycles hit bottom in 2010, and a return of energy as an important commodity to impact land and real estate.

Speed of growth and the speed of aging
November 4th, 2010

As we close the first decade of the 21st century, I want to channel pertinent social-demographic information to the builder/developer readership. This article is intentionally released in advance of the 2010 U.S. Census Report so that the dedicated readers of this column may follow key issues that will be highlighted in 2011.

Between cities
July 6th, 2010

When I commute from New York City to my field office in San Antonio, I cannot help but observe the landscape below. I marvel at how it all looks so natural. But this is deceptive. Almost all of what I see is man-made, except for the larger bodies of water.
