The discussion focused on investment opportunities arising from the government's sale of surplus properties, with David Codrea emphasizing the potential of acquiring smaller properties under 100,000 square feet for repurposing into local business spaces. He highlighted a recent list of federal properties available for sale, particularly in the Southeast region between Atlanta and Charlotte, which he views as having significant growth potential. Another speaker shared their investment strategy, favoring lower-rise buildings with flexible zoning to facilitate quicker leasing, and noted a typical profitability timeframe of about 18 months, factoring in municipal permitting.
While acknowledging the rising interest in data centers, they expressed a preference for less competitive markets due to high costs and energy supply challenges. The complexities of converting commercial properties to residential use were also discussed, particularly the resistance from cities to zoning changes, along with reflections on past projects, including a successful turnaround of a mobile home park with infrastructure issues.
