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.
Whether you’re an investor, developer, or business owner, this episode offers a masterclass in adaptive commercial real estate strategy.
