Two years ago today, one of CFP Group's partners began a new development project - the construction of a self-storage facility just South of Orlando.

As of today, we are already at 70% occupancy and have received almost 200 online reviews, almost all of which are five stars.

Will be marketing it for sale in a few months.

On behalf of the and our investors, we wanted to thank everyone involved for a great job!

🏨 The Ellis Building is officially becoming a hotel.

We at are excited to share a major milestone: yesterday, the City of Phoenix Council officially approved the conversion of the Ellis Building into a hotel.

This marks an important step forward in bringing new life to a unique asset. Current plans envision a 100-key, major-brand boutique collection hotel, and we look forward to sharing more details soon.

Projects like this are never done alone. We’re grateful to everyone who contributed their time, expertise, and support to help move this vision forward.

More to come, and we’re excited to see this take shape.

WHILE TORONTO HAS ZERO NEW CONDO CONSTRUCTION STARTS IN 2026, WE POURED CONCRETE IN ONE OF OUR PROJECTS LAST WEEK.

It will be a 5-unit property. Most likely, we will rent it out and sell it as an income-producing property or refinance using the CMHC program.

And if the market recovers, we will consider selling the units to the end consumers. Let's see if the newly announced rebate program helps the market recovery.

As expected...

The Feds in the USA and the Bank of Canada have not changed the Prime rates.

In my opinion, we will not see more than one rate cut in 2026.

For the last 18 months, most real estate conversations have started the same way: we are waiting for rates to come down.
But a new JPMorgan analysis suggests something important: that wait could be longer than many developers and investors expect.
Even as inflation cools, the Fed may keep rates elevated because the labor market remains stable and economic growth hasn’t meaningfully deteriorated.
Here is what it means for real estate: cheap money isn’t coming back anytime soon.
The developers and investors winning right now are the ones who:
• Structure deals that work at today’s rates
• Focus on entitled land and phased development
• Build capital stacks that survive volatility
• Partner with patient equity and strategic operators
In every cycle, there’s a moment where people stop waiting and start building anyway.
Right now, we at hashtag are seeing opportunities in:
🏗 Entitled land development (working on a project in Florida)
🏨 Adaptive reuse and hospitality conversions (Marriott hotel conversion project in Phoenix)
🏘 Built To Rent residential communities (2 projects in Oklahoma)
Curious to hear from other developers and investors. Are you still waiting for rate cuts, or are you already deploying capital in this market?

If you’re still using the Greater Toronto Area (or Greater LA, or Greater Miami, or any other MSA) as one market, you’re investing with a blindfold on.

Look at January 2026: three cities around Toronto, same region, wildly different outcomes at the exact same time:

• Brampton: prices essentially flat around $882,710
• Burlington: up 3.7% to roughly $1.03M
• Newmarket: down 8.9% to about $912,737

This is why headlines like “housing is up” or “housing is crashing” are almost useless for decision-making.

Real estate is a collection of micro-markets driven by local forces:
- Employer mix + commute patterns
- Supply pipeline (new builds, resale inventory, approvals)
- Buyer demographics + migration flows
- Affordability bands (where buyers actually qualify)

Smart investors don’t debate the news; they map demand and supply at the city (and neighborhood) level and let data lead.

The opportunity isn’t predicting the market, it’s identifying which market you’re actually in.

Curious, what’s one city you think is being misunderstood right now, and what signal are you watching to validate it? Drop it below 👇
