Reinventing Seattle Multifamily
Is A Never-Ending Process

One of the trickier aspects of multifamily development is anticipating what kind of space will be in demand in the future, according to the speakers on the Community, Innovations and Finance panel of Bisnow's recent Seattle Multifamily event. Demand sometimes shifts between the time a building is first planned and when it is completed.

Not only that, residential tastes keep changing, so existing buildings have to cope. It is important for a building to have a measure of built-in flexibility, at least when it comes to amenities and, if part of a mixed-use development, the property's other offerings.

LMC Division President Brad Reisinger said a good experience for residents, regardless of what stage of their lives they are in, is key to the success of a multifamily development.  "We hear all kinds of things in our focus groups, such…

Is Black Friday Still Relevant For Brick-And-Mortar Retail?

Black Friday, the infamous U.S. shopping holiday known for bad behavior among deal seekers, who traditionally line up well before the crack of dawn to churn billions of dollars into the economy, may be on its deathbed.

But it's not dead yet. That's because despite data that shows shoppers think Black Friday is the most stressful time to shop — not to mention the meteoric rise of e-commerce that fuels the apocalyptic foretelling of brick-and-mortar retail's demise — Black Friday is still the No. 1 sales weekend of the year.

6 Little Luxuries Baby Boomers Could Give Up And Buy Every Millennial A House

Millennials are having the same problems affording homes in big cities across the world. They are frequently being told they are too extravagant and need to save more to afford a deposit, usually by members of an older generation who benefited from decades of inflation in the price of their homes, jobs for life and gold-plated pensions. Millennials actually spend less on discretionary items on average than other age groups.

So what can the older generation do to help? Instead of lecturing the young on lifestyle choices and things they can do without, the elder generation could give up the following things to aid millennials in purchasing their first homes.
