Austin Crowley, a senior design lead, and Robert Blaser, a senior leader overseeing civic engagements and client relationships at Michael Graves Architecture, mark the 100th episode by discussing Cutler Bay Legacy Park, a civic project that addresses how a Florida community can engage with its government and waterfront.

Danny Fishman co-founded GAIA Real Estate in 2009 when the financial crisis created distressed opportunities across multifamily markets. His approach centers on hands-on management rather than passive ownership. When evaluating properties, Danny and his team spend weekends on-site observing tenant behavior, testing neighborhood walkability, and understanding what drives the local rental market. This boots-on-the-ground mentality led to their biggest early win: winning the bid for a 10,000-unit Lehman Brothers portfolio in bankruptcy court.
