Speaking Engagement: InterFace Austin Retail & Mixed-Use 2026

On February 24th, I’ll be on stage at InterFace Austin Retail & Mixed-Use talking about where this market is really headed and where the smart money is positioning right now.

Austin isn’t slowing down. It’s shifting.

Retail and mixed-use are no longer just about location. They’re about experience, density, capital discipline, and tenant mix strategy. The winners understand demographics, construction costs, lease structure, and how to design projects people actually want to show up to.

I’ve spent decades in the trenches as an owner, developer, landlord, and broker. I don’t just analyze the market. I deploy capital in it. I care about what pencils, what leases, and what creates long-term value.

This conference brings together the decision-makers actually moving deals:

Owners & Developers
Investors & Capital Providers
Retailers & Restaurateurs
Brokers & Leasing Teams
Lenders & Financial Intermediaries
Architects, Contractors & Engineers
Asset Managers & Operators

We’ll break down:

Retail and mixed-use market fundamentals
Leasing velocity and tenant demand
What makes a project competitive today
Submarkets showing real strength
The role of food, beverage, and experiential concepts
Where capital is actually flowing

This is a room full of people who move the market, not spectators.

If you’re serious about buying, building, leasing, financing, or investing in Austin retail and mixed-use, this is where you need to be.

Big conversations. Real data. No fluff.
