What does it really take to lead at scale in today’s environment?
In this episode of Conversations with the Best Minds in Real Estate, Gregg Logan, Managing Director at RCLCO, sits down with Craig Collin, president and COO of Tavistock Development Company—where he oversees the strategic execution of a nationally recognized portfolio of award-winning, visionary communities known for innovation, creative placemaking and long-term value.
“One of the things I think we do very well as a company is that we sweat the details… So there isn’t a piece of artwork, there isn’t a facade of a building, there isn’t a sign for a business that doesn’t come through a multi-functional design review within the company”.
– Craig on the importance of placemaking in planned communities
They discuss Craig’s journey in the industry, community building, affordability challenges, demographic and technological shifts, and his advice for those in the industry feeling the pull towards something bigger.
“The viability of communities in the United States today will be based on the fabric of how we build them…economic diversity is a part of the fabric.
– Craig on how the real estate industry must face affordability challenges
