Along with serving as executive editor of D CEO and editor of D Real Estate Daily, I have the pleasure of being editor of the Dallas-Fort Worth Real Estate Review. These quarterly publications are produced by D Magazine Partners’ DRC Publications Group, in partnership with the Dallas Regional Chamber and The Real Estate Council. If you haven’t been reading them, you’re missing out.

(Led by Quincy Preston, this group, by the way, also developed and runs the robust Dallas Innovates platform, the Dallas-Fort Worth Relocation+Newcomer Guide, the Economic Development Guide, and the My Dallas Move e-newsletter. For digital editions of these publications, click here.)

The Summer 2016 edition of the DFW Real Estate Review was just released, and I want to draw special attention to the cover story, “Rebirth of the West End,” written by longtime Dallas business journalist Karen Nielsen. She interviewed countless sources, including developers, investors, business owners, civic leaders, and innovators, to give readers an in-depth look at the transformation that’s underway in the historic Dallas neighborhood.

Below is a sneak peek at the start of the lead story. Click here to read the full report, and here to read these additional reports, included in the package: Building a Smart City, Modern Living in the Historic West End, and Lay of the Land. I’d also like to give a shout out to art director Michael Samples, who took many of the photos (Michael has never met a rooftop he didn’t like) and designed the entire issue.
