I am excited to announce that @Cody Payne has agreed to a quarterly market update call as part of the Basecamp community. If you haven't attended one of Cody's calls, they provide incredible market insights, statistics that you won't find anywhere else, and actionable information to help you become a better operator / developer. I would put this on your calendar now so you don't miss it. Date: October 22nd Time: 4:00 pm CT Call Link: Market Update

Everyone assumes steel lasts longer than wood. @Shane Floyd of Black Barn Development is here to challenge that. He's walking us through a post-frame system with no wood in the ground, and what it means for cost, build speed, and long-term performance on small bay and flex projects. If you're pricing out your next build, bring your questions. Join us live -> Got Wood?

Flex Space Connect wrapped this week, and the Basecamp crew who made it to Houston came back with a lot to talk about. @Cody Payne dropped a pipeline number that turned heads. @Yog Melwani initiated a real debate on whether this asset class ever institutionalizes like self-storage did, and @Jeff Paschal added his perspective from 19 years at PS Business Parks. Steel pricing, fresh debt terms from the week, and a new build method that can save six months of interest carry all came up too. Full recording here -> Flex Space Connect Recap --> And mark your calendars: Will and Thaddeus are putting together a small, hands-on developer workshop in Denver, March 11-12, capped at 25 people. More details coming soon. If you were in Houston, drop your biggest takeaway below.
