The City With No Land Left...Is Still Winning at Economic Development
EPISODE 24 • SEASON 2 00:28:13

Dallas Snow has sat on every side of the commercial real estate table: sixteen years running operations at Jones Commercial Interiors, then advising Fortune 500 companies on their office footprints at PDR, and now recruiting corporate investment for the City of Grapevine, Texas, a city of 53,000 people that pulls in 52 million visitors a year.

 

In this conversation:

 

  • Why Grapevine is down to its last 100 acres, and how that scarcity became its sharpest sales pitch

  • Why attracting business to a city is a relationship game, not an incentives race

  • How the city tracks whether growth actually helps residents, not just visitor counts

  • What corporate real estate clients are prioritizing in 2026 that they weren't five years ago

 

If you work anywhere near site selection, commercial real estate, or economic development, don't miss this one.
