The best commercial real estate decisions aren't made on mainstream information. That's why we created The Real Estate Haystack.


Delivered weekly and free to subscribers, the Haystack provides valuable original content sourced from academic research that the industry otherwise never sees. We write in a succinct and actionable format: No BS, no fluff, just insights that actually move the needle for commercial real estate executives.

Here's what lands in your inbox each week:

  • 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬: We connect dots others miss, synthesizing insights from academic research, market data, and industry experts.

  • 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: We provide practical tools to evaluate opportunities with greater precision and sharpen your investment analysis.

  • 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: Insight you can implement immediately.

It turns out there’s abundant, relevant real estate insights that could raise the game just waiting to be found, but most never make it to the decision-makers who could actually use it. We're fixing that problem.

In addition to each week’s deep dive, we also flag articles we don’t want you to miss, highlight a GP we think you’d want to know about (they don’t pay us for that), and provide a little fun in each issue.


Thanks for checking us out. We’d love to hear from you. Reach us at [email protected].

And if you are looking for our advisory platform,
