🎉 Big news near Copper Creek & Lumen Woods! 🎉

Hy-Vee, the employee-owned Midwest supermarket chain with over 550 locations, has filed plans for a new development at 22939 W. 83rd St. (near the intersection of 83rd and Kansas K-7).

The proposed project includes:

~93,000 sq ft Hy-Vee supermarket with 489 parking stalls
~5,000 sq ft Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh convenience store
~3,700 sq ft banking and retail building
~Two two-story office buildings (44,000–50,000 sq ft each)
~Four retail or restaurant spaces ranging from 1,800 to about 18,000 sq ft

All of it would sit within walking distance of both The Reserve at Copper Creek and Lumen Woods.

Why this matters for residents (and for us):

When groceries, coffee, banking, lunch, and everyday errands are a short walk away, life gets noticeably easier. Residents tend to stay longer. Longer stays mean lower turnover, more stable occupancy, and more predictable cash flow.

In plain terms: convenient locations create “sticky” tenants. Sticky tenants create more stable assets. And stable assets are exactly what long-term instutional buyers look for when they acquire multifamily properties. This kind of neighborhood amenity strengthens the overall value proposition of both communities when we eventually sell.

Family offices (the investment arms of ultra-wealthy families) are adding more private equity and real estate to their portfolios, according to the latest Citi Wealth survey. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧐

They’re not chasing fixer-uppers. They’re buying large, stabilized, cash-flowing assets for long-term holds, inflation protection and tax advantages—and they have massive capital to deploy. 🏢🏦

Does your portfolio include anything these buyers are actively looking to acquire? 🤷🏻‍♂️

If not—and you want to explore opportunities that align with that demand—reach out. Let’s talk. 📱

Inflation displaced tariffs as family offices' top investment concern in 2026, per a new Citi Wealth survey.

One thing they don't teach in the Fire Academy, macroeconomics…how do we react when interest rates move. 🤔 📈

It seems like everything in your portfolio is moving in lock step. It makes even the most steady hands think... Am I going to see my 400 account take a big hit, just before I retire? 🤢

For first responders and veterans, planning for chaos is nothing new.

We spent careers building systems, developing contingencies, and making sure that when things got unpredictable, we had something dependable to fall back on. 😎

I think about investing much the same way.

There is a certain peace of mind in watching a real estate development take shape—dirt moving, infrastructure going in, buildings coming out of the ground—while your investment’s preferred return continues to accrue each month, according to the terms of the deal. 🏗️

Especially when the public markets are reminding us how quickly correlation and volatility can show up when things get uncertain.

Hard assets aren’t immune to risk, and they aren’t a substitute for a diversified portfolio. For myself and Equip One investors, having a portion of long-term capital invested in assets that are tangible, understandable, and driven by a different set of economic forces creates another layer of security in the system.

Think of it like an incident command structure for your capital. 👨🏼‍🚒

You don’t build the system because you know exactly what the next emergency will look like. You build it so you have options when it arrives.

For those of us approaching or already in retirement, that kind of resilience (along with tax benefits) can be just as important as chasing the next couple percentage points of return.

If you’re a first responder or veteran thinking about diversification beyond the public markets, I’m always happy to compare notes. 📲

Last Call!!

We have space for one or two LP investors on our current project before we close it and JV swallows that slice of profits. 🤔

If you want to take a look at targeted: 🎯

2.5x Returns 💰
7% Preferred 💵
Mid 20% IRR’s 📈

In a:

Tax advantaged investment 👨🏼‍🎓
Backed by hard assets 🏢
Insured 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼
Un-correlated to the paper markets 📊

It’s time to pick up the phone 📱

When this project is ready to sell, private equity funds will have a massive wave of new capital from 401(k) investors, chasing this exact class of assets. 🏃🏽‍♂️

Now the legal stuff… Accredited investors only, not an offer to sell securities. Private placement as defined by SEC law. 👮🏻

I really like this group called Tiger 21. They are a peer advisory group that don’t just sit around, smoke ci**rs and chat about their last trip to Mykonos.

Many of their members are first generation wealth that have earned by the sweat of their brow.

They cultivate each other to become better stewards of their family legacy assets, for lasting impact.

So question… where are the new wealthy putting their money? Direct ownership of real estate or are they letting private equity do the work for them?

Michael Sonnenfeldt, Tiger 21 founder, joins 'Power Lunch' to discuss where the one percent of the one percent are investing.

One of the most famous stories in business… Andrew Carnegie

In various iterations, his tombstone reads…

“Here lies a man who knew how to get around him men who were cleverer than himself”

The point is simple. You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room (and I’m certainly not.) You just need to be smart enough to get around smarter people.

If you’ve been following the page for a while and want to explore investing in real estate with smarter people, call me and I will make some introductions to the same people I know and trust.
