Reflecting on this incredible night at the 2025 Good Growth Awards Gala last month.

Thanks to the Growth Coalition for hosting another outstanding event and for continuing to advocate for intentional development across Greater Baton Rouge!

We were honored to receive a 2025 Good Growth Award for Rivermark 185 Phase I, a project developed by Brossett Companies and JRE Capital. Grateful to the full team who brought it to life, including Alston Construction, Quality Engineering, Powers Brown Architecture, CARBO Landscape Architecture, Hydroscapes, and Evan Scroggs, with Lee & Associates Commercial Real Estate Services.

Our team had a great time connecting with peers, partners, and leaders across the real estate community. We’re proud to be part of a community that values vision, design, and long-term impact.

Retail competition is tightening in Baton Rouge.

In a new article from the Baton Rouge Business Report, Will Chadwick outlines some of the key drivers:

• Lack of new retail construction in recent years
• High construction costs increasing rental rates
• Tenants requesting larger TI allowances due to rising build-out costs
• Interest from out-of-state investors seeking higher returns
• Regional factors like elevated insurance costs affecting deals

“The majority are still Louisiana and Texas buyers, but there is certainly interest from out of state buyers looking to enter our market.” Chadwick clarified.

We kicked off the first Rock N Rowe of the season with our team and a few clients. Balcony views, live music from The Peyton Falgoust Band, and a chance to enjoy one of the most energized spots in Baton Rouge.

Events like this are part of what makes Perkins Rowe a vibrant, high-traffic retail destination, and we’re proud to be part of its continued growth.

Thank you to the Perkins Rowe team for having us and putting on a great event.

There's a lot of talk about the life (or death) of the retail sector in Commercial Real Estate... These guys in the link below have an interesting take, and are betting big on it! Thoughts on their strategy?

The retail sector may be struggling as a whole, but that doesn't mean the whole retail sector is struggling... Especially in the long-run. There will be many "opportunities" that get opened up from this pandemic, but just be very careful what you invest in. Know your risks, know your tenants, know your market, and know your exit strategy. But most importantly - KNOW AND TRUST your commercial real estate advisor! No investment is guaranteed, but the more you know, the better decisions you can make!

Contact us if you'd like to learn more about our investment platform, and how to "know" these things!

This is a short read, but we believe this is a very poignant and applicable message for commercial real estate! National trends are important and MUST be considered, but local trends can be far more telling. For instance - retail (as a whole, on the national scene) is struggling, while industrial is performing quite well. Does that mean all retail is bad and all industrial is good? Of course not... KNOW YOUR LOCAL MARKET! At JRE, we KNOW our local markets, and consider both national AND local trends when underwriting our investment properties.

If you would have any interest in investing with us, please contact us directly! Minimum investment amounts might be lower, and projected cash-on-cash returns might be higher than you would expect!

Pension funds are finding that the national market for real estate is inauspicious. However, for most investors, the national market is the wrong unit and level of analysis.

How diversified is your investment portfolio? Are you currently invested (directly) Commercial Real Estate? If not, why not?

Over the next few weeks, we'll explore some of the reasons why Commercial Real Estate should be a component of your portfolio, and how we (at JRE Private Equity), can help with that!

Reason # 1 - Diversification

Commercial Real Estate has an historically LOW correlation to other asset classes (primarily, the stock market). This provides a potential hedge against bear markets, as CRE has traditionally held its value better than other asset classes. Note on the graphic below that public REITs do NOT provide the same level of diversification as direct CRE ownership - they have a much closer correlation to equities.

Contact us (Trey Williams or Donnie Jarreau) to discuss how you can directly invest into LOCAL commercial real estate assets with JRE Private Equity. No obligations or blind fund commitments required; you only invest if you like the deal!

LOCAL Commercial Real Estate, right here in the Gulf South - have you thought about diversifying, but don't have the time or expertise to manage it? Let's talk... We have a very simple platform that allows you to invest smaller amounts of capital into larger, LOCAL deals (right here in your own backyard) that very few people ever see or get access to. Contact us to learn how!
