HOUSTON—The most robust market activity is currently tied to inner loop redevelopment, sites near major retail intersections, properties servicing the ship channel and surrounding single family/master-planned communities. Ryan Sweeney of Streetwise Land Advisors is bullish about Houston in 2017 and believes the city is better positioned than expected for additional commercial development with land acquisitions happening throughout the city.

“While national equity and debt has pulled back on new development in Houston, local real estate investors and developers continue to aggressively acquire unique and strategic locations for immediate development, as well as securing positions for the next cycle. Most of us believe in quality locations and the bright future for Houston,” Sweeney says.

In slightly more than a year since the formal launch of Streetwise Land Advisors, the boutique firm has established itself as a key player in Houston's competitive commercial brokerage segment. It's also become a resource for the acquisition, disposition and development consulting of commercial land properties in and around the Bayou City for owners, investors and developers.

“Collaboration is a key element of the culture at Streetwise, creating a more efficient and productive environment that ultimately benefits our client through strong market intel and co-brokerage opportunities,” Sweeney tells GlobeSt.com.

Under the direction of Sweeney, whose primary focus is third party representation, Streetwise Land Advisors is approaching 2017 with 35 prime listings in Greater Houston and plans to further increase market share. Sweeney also points out the value of the Streetwise umbrella, which also encompasses Streetwise Retail Advisors, and the vision of partners Ed James and Ed Page.

“Ryan has been an incredible asset to Streetwise, and his balance of skill and ethics are a model for our team,” says Page. “He is adept at building client trust, thanks in part to his keen property evaluations that accurately build in developmental challenges and potential pitfalls.”
