Looking forward to joining Jim Irwin and @KyleInserra on stage at @creisummit today to talk about bringing life to bricks and sticks. Many thanks to @kenashley and @sarahmalcolm for having me. #CREi

@kenashley At least she didn't say "you've got a voice for radio...and a face too". 😉

Waitress at lunch today asked me if I do voice over work. She said she loved my voice. So I’ve got that going for me.

@AtlantaGrubber @AvalonInsider Good looking crew. You seem to upgrade your friends every time you come to Avalon, Joe.

After eating at Rina's at THE @AvalonInsider didn't want to go into store with wife, walking off calories ran into the legendary @MarkToro who introduced me to these Buckhead Life icons. Told them BHL alumn Tim Stevens is crushing it at Bask Steakhouse and From the Eart.

@jeremeviews @mwgarbett @jimat944 @MayorOfMARTA @atlurbanist @LalaniShaneel I’m here. The key to branding, planning and curating a community is to assure that the brand aligns the personal brand of the guest/resident/visitor and that all of the offerings/uses reflects that personal brand. As an example, the Colony Square offering responds to the …

I confess I was skeptical when @LalaniShaneel bought Underground (most of which, of course, is not actually underground) but I am a convert and believer. I've been several times. The vibe is great and organic and I'm looking forward to what's next. fox5atlanta.com/news/the-rebir…

@AtlantaGrubber 😉

I'm pretty sure I can credit my idol @MarkToro for getting this started at THE Avalon. Shortly thereafter, Canton Street, downtown Alpha followed suit. I'll grant you the scooters on the Beltline can cause issues, but time for the ATL to jump on board, especially the Beltline.

@SpaceCoastMark9 @cbenderatl @AtlBizChron No shift to or away from any specific market, urban or suburban. We see opportunities to create a #ThirdPlace for the #communities we serve.

@cbenderatl @MarkToro @AtlBizChron Is Mark Toro’s predominant focus now on suburban developments? Nothing wrong with that as these are great developments, but I do wonder why he has so shifted away from the urban renaissance within the city. Does he still live in midtown, or has he relocated to suburbia as well?

Seriously...@MarkToro prints money! Johns Creek lands well-known Atlanta restaurants for future town center bizjournals.com/atlanta/news/2… via @AtlBizChron

@Bloomberg columnist @conorsen speaks to impending #distress in #CRE, citing our #Atlanta project where we’re demolishing an obsolete State Farm #office campus to make way for a community gathering place…a Third Place. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… #ThirdPlaceEffect

Let’s go get ‘em, Joe!

@AtlantaGrubber As usual, you’re spot on, Joe.

Move to Downtown Dunwoody, AKA #Funwoody would be great by me facebook.com/LynnforDunwood… But would be a yuge coup for @MarkToro to have them singing a Medley in Johns Creek. They are good at what they do fo sho.

@DE_JeffB Still out in Sunset Hills in GSO, going on 3.5 hours. Projection of when we’ll be restored?

Grid operators are continuing the methodical process of restoring temporary outages across NC/SC. ~ 25% complete with more restorations occurring every few minutes. Goal is to keep power reliable for all with each restore. No new temp outages occurring at this point. (1/3)

We’re happy and proud to team up with @HighwoodsProp and Open Realty to deliver America’s next great mixed-use #community. bizjournals.com/nashville/news… torodevco.com #Nashville #CRE #mixeduse #retail

@AtlantaGrubber Precisely why we are bringing “the best of everything” to Johns Creek, Joe.

Publix Syndrome™: the tendency of people on social media, when asked for BEST food item, to always mention a place 2-3 miles from where they live. Pub subs, fried chix both good, convenient, they NEVER are the answer to “best.” But peeps refuse drive a bit further for better.

@kenashley “Cool” does not begin to describe you, Ken. You’re also hip, edgy and fly. You are so not cringe.

Whelp, I got the blue checkmark which I've coveted for years. It feels like getting a new pair of sneakers on the first day of school. I think I’m cool, but I’m still really not. However, I still have new sneakers. And at least I've got that going for me.

@SrHousing_CRE @UrbanLandInst Yes! @BondGodfrey is our Exec Dir at @ULI_Atlanta.

@MarkToro @UrbanLandInst Mark is there a strong Atlanta chapter for ULI? I’m looking at joining as I get deeper into development

Key takeaways from @UrbanLandInst #ULIFall Meeting, where I serve on the Urban Development Mixed Use Council: 1. Misery is ahead for commodity #CRE products, especially #office 2. #Retail is back 3. Capital is “constipated”, likely through ‘23 4. The sky is not falling #retwit

@cbenderatl @UrbanLandInst Not for long, br.

@MarkToro @UrbanLandInst Capital for apartments in Atlanta is at “diarrhea” levels. The number of projects breaking ground and going through permitting is at historic levels.

@ULI_Atlanta Time to bring @UrbanLandInst to #Atlanta, don’t you think?!!?? #CRE #retwit #ULIFall #ULISpring

@baldoholdings @markskovorodko @seandsweeney I’m delighted that you enjoyed your Avalon Experience. The team at torodevco.com created @AvalonInsider to be that community‘s “third place“…that place beyond work and home where we do life together…and they’ve fully embraced us. #retwit

@markskovorodko @seandsweeney No I didn’t, but there was at least 4 of these Urban Developments I visited all of which had a different vibe but equally as beautiful - Avalon taking the cake though!!!

My dream is not only to live in a dense, walkable area where everything I need is within a short walk, but that it becomes a possibility for everyone who wants the same. Walkable urbanism for the win.
