The Real Deal’s May issue is live for subscribers and soon to hit mailboxes across the country.
This month’s cover story brings us to the heart of Texas with a profile of Monty Bennett, the pugnacious real estate mogul who successfully fought eminent domain to block a pipeline on his Dallas-area ranch, then became infamous as the “face of corporate greed” during the pandemic over his companies’ receipt of PPP funds. In a deep dive, author Patrick Sisson breaks down Bennett’s many battles and battlegrounds.
As TRD editor-in-chief Stuart Elliott writes in his editor’s note, “the Lone Star state feels like the part of the country with the most room to grow,” and this month’s issue sizes up two of its key markets with TRD‘s first-ever rankings of Houston and Dallas‘ top residential brokerages.
Elsewhere in the May issue, Rich Bockmann looks at why Wall Street’s next big short is on offices — and why it’s a much riskier play than it appears — Isabella Farr sheds new light on a disastrous deal for a Downtown LA apartment portfolio, Keith Larsen profiles Valley Bank’s rise as a go-to lender for NYC real estate and Pawan Naidu breaks down the father-and-son feud over a Bay Area real estate empire with a controversial history.
All of these stories and many more are now live for TRD subscribers. So sign up for access now and check out the May issue here.
