by Kristin Harlow

HEATH, OHIO — The Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap has brokered the sale of a newly constructed retail property occupied by Firestone in Heath, about 30 miles east of Columbus. Built in 2025, the property features a 15-year, triple-net corporate-guaranteed lease that includes 5 percent rent increases every five years in the initial term. The asset sold at 98 percent of the list price to an all-cash buyer completing a 1031 exchange. The seller was a preferred developer for Firestone. Don McMinn and Andrew Koriwchak of the Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus & Millichap brokered the transaction. “This Firestone closing highlights the growing presence of higher-price-point 1031 exchange and private buyers in the net-lease market, driven by recent interest rate cuts and increased economic stability. We anticipate the buyer pool to continue to expand into 2026 as conditions improve and more capital re-enters the market,” says McMinn.

InterFace Panel: Multifamily Operators Are Charting a Path from Oversupply to Opportunity in 2026

by Abby Cox

ATLANTA — The multifamily market in the Southeast still prevails as one of the nation’s most dynamic real estate ventures, but one aspect in particular is casting a dark shadow — the cultivation of oversupply in the region. When the demand for housing during and after the COVID pandemic increased, developers energetically responded with an aggressive building boom. However, when new supply began to outpace demand, vacancy crept up and concern for the market became more prominent. “We put shovels in the ground and started developing — and now we’re paying for that sin,” said Greg Mark, executive managing director at Cushman & Wakefield. “Across the board, we’re just not seeing the same kind of returns.” Mark’s comments came at the operations panel during the 2025 InterFace Multifamily Southeast conference, which was held at the InterContinental Buckhead in Atlanta. Co-hosted by France Media’s InterFace Conference Group and Multifamily & Affordable Housing Business magazine, the two-day event attracted a little more than 300 attendees. Ed Wolff, CEO of Dallas-based Aerwave, moderated the panel.

InterFace Panel: AI Has Infiltrated Multifamily Management Without Compromising Human Touch

by Taylor Williams

By Taylor Williams Technological innovation has long been a cornerstone of managing and leasing multifamily properties, and that feature of the business has only been augmented in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). But for all the operational conveniences and efficiencies that AI potentially brings to the table, multifamily management has not yet reached the point of phasing out the human element. Almost immediately after the members of the leasing and management panel at the annual InterFace Multifamily Texas conference had introduced themselves, this fundamental premise of multifamily management was put forth to a crowd of several hundred real estate professionals — men and women who have built careers based on human relationships. The message to those at the conference, which took place in late September at the Westin Galleria Hotel in Dallas, seemed to be one of reassurance, that even as AI seemingly infiltrates every aspect of human life and threatens to void millions of jobs, the human principles that have long governed real estate transactions remain intact. At least for now. Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives.
