In Episode 196 of Boroughs & Burbs, hosts John Engel and Roberto Cabrera sit down with Jonathan Tuttle and Alec McElhinny of Land Play to explore why flex space development has become one of the fastest-growing segments in commercial real estate. Jonathan and Alec share how these multi-use properties—blending warehouse, office, and retail—are transforming communities while delivering strong ROI for investors. They explain how macroeconomic and demographic shifts are fueling demand, what metrics they analyze when evaluating a site, and why municipalities are embracing this hybrid model. You’ll hear practical insights on: The tenant mix that drives sustainable returns, from small businesses to larger corporate users. How zoning laws, municipal incentives, and financing structures are shaping flex space projects. The role of modular construction and ESG principles in keeping developments cost-effective and future-proof. Why underserved markets present some of the biggest growth opportunities over the next five years.
