SANTA FE, N.M. — (January 23rd, 2021) — Santa Fe city government’s effort to redevelop the city-owned Midtown Campus took a major, stunning blow late last week when the developers chosen for the massive project issued notice that they want out of the deal.

SANTA FE, N.M. — “Santa Fe is full of people with opinions and those opinions matter. You need to be engaged and listen.”So said James Feild, chief development officer of Cienda Partners, during the city of Santa Fe’s first “Meet the Developer” meeting on Tuesday that solicited public input about the redevelopment of the city-owned…

The firm negotiating with the city of Santa Fe to redevelop the midtown campus is based in Dallas, but there’s New Mexico flavor galore.And in fact, it may have been a loose-knit but heavily local push that reeled in KDC Real Estate Development & Investment/Cienda Partners to take on the massive project in an alliance.

If there was a critical moment in the search for a midtown campus master developer, it might have come in September.That’s when officials from KDC Real Estate Development & Investments/Cienda Partners met Mike Loftin, CEO of Santa Fe’s Homewise.

Soon after learning that Dallas wouldn’t be getting Amazon’s second headquarters, the Dallas Regional Chamber put out a statement.“Make no mistake,” CEO Dale Petroskey said in the news release, “this has been a ‘win’ for our region regardless of the outcome.”Say what? Dallas not only failed to land Amazon HQ2. It fell short on HQ3, too.

North Texas developers embraced a glass-half-full approach Tuesday after being passed over for Amazon’s highly-prized HQ2, with some saying saying that the Seattle giant’s arrival could have sucked all the oxygen from the room.“As amazing a company as Amazon is, I am glad we did not win,” said developer Lucy Billingsley, a partner with Billingsley Company.

Toyota went to Plano.State Farm Insurance landed 10,000 jobs in Richardson.And the financial giant Charles Schwab is still building its new regional office campus in Westlake.But when Amazon shopped North Texas for its HQ2 site, it wasn’t interested in the burbs.Downtown was where the digital retailing giant considered putting thousands of workers.

About six years ago, Philip Wise and Barry Hancock’s Cienda Partners began using pseudonyms when buying up tracts of land on the southwestern side of the Trinity River near downtown Dallas, so as not to attract attention.

Cienda is also taking great care to get feedback from the surrounding neighborhoods in Oak Cliff. “They’re a community that cares, so you can’t come in and say, ‘This is what we’re going to build—stand back,’” Hancock says. “You have to work with them, and I think we’ve done a good job.”

Plus, Cienda is willing to take its time. Wise says the project, which will likely include four phases, will take about a decade to complete, and Cienda plans to hold onto the property long-term.

Concrete highway canyons and economic disparities have long plagued Dallas — and sometimes the two go hand in hand. That’s why the new deck park planned for Interstate 35E just south of downtown holds such promise.

Las Campanas Realty is excited to announce that new construction has increased dramatically at Las Campanas. When Las Campanas Realty announced the implementation of a new Preferred Builder Program in early 2017, it was expected that the program would be successful, but no one could have imagined the success that has taken place.
