ARE YOU PIVOTING YOUR DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY? You may have already read this on the Connect CRE platform regarding the 2025 Allen Matkins/UCLA Anderson Forecast California Commercial Real Estate Survey. Does this reflect your thoughts as a developer? -36% of developers delaying or canceling CRE projects, citing increased construction costs and global trade tensions as key concerns. -85% of respondents now hold a more cautious outlook on new California developments due to tariffs and supply chain disruptions. -40% of developers expect distress levels in CRE capital markets to rise over the next year. We’ve all been hearing the same concerns for months—but development isn’t impossible in these conditions. The real question is: what’s the cost of doing nothing? Inaction carries its own risks. For HNW investors and FMOs, this may be the time to pivot toward higher-margin opportunities in alternative hospitality and entertainment-anchored developments. We are looking for those groups as we have opportunities worthy of exploring.

Everyone talks about the “best neighborhoods” in San Francisco. But one of the strongest rental markets right now is one most people overlook: the Presidio. Landlords often assume park-adjacent neighborhoods are niche, too quiet, or too competitive. But the Presidio is proving the opposite, and the demand trends are hard to ignore. Here’s why interest is rising: → It’s one of the only national parks people can actually live in → 24 miles of trails, beaches, and protected outdoor space → Free shuttle access that connects directly to the city → Slightly lower rents compared to downtown corridors → A high-intent renter profile: young professionals and families prioritizing lifestyle The Presidio isn’t just beautiful. It’s becoming a strategic choice for people who want nature, convenience, and community in one place. At the end of the day, landlords who understand lifestyle trends always stay ahead. P.S. If you’re watching neighborhoods surge and wondering why, the reason is almost always the same: lifestyle and quality of life. 👉 If you could live inside a national park and still be 10 minutes from downtown, would you do it?
