People dogging BYU Basketball because of their conf record or losing leads has no clue. This team is playing at such a high level. Coaching staff is doing a great job getting the team to play with confidence against the best athletes in the country. Compared to historical teams

Be sure to check out Siegfried’s in downtown SLC for the best German food! We just signed a deal to keep them as a tenant long term. As the new owner of their building this was a top priority to keep them happy and in business, place is always packed

That’s a wrap on a great season for Ford and his team the “Fort Street Heat”. Had to prepare, research and learn from other youth coaches to help these 2nd graders (in a 3rd grade league) get better and enjoy the game. We lost a lot of games but the boys never quit and gave 100%.

Your missing the point that many of the 3-4%cap buyers are utilizing a 1031 and just need to park the cash somewhere safe to avoid the gain and recaptured depreciation. Friend of mine right has a 50% tax coming so a 3-5% cap is a smart move for him

Right now professional service firms are really the only ones growing/moving. Big tech, call center, or large back office corporate space have the most vacancy. Smaller spaces 3K,5K,10K are most active everywhere along with Trophy A+ space.

I get the WFH is real and hybrid seems to be the new norm but I believe it’s short sided to ignore opprt. in an entire asset class. Outside a few submarkets, Utah maintains very high office space occupancy. Maybe just Utahns that prefer being in office? Escape the kids?
