    The Future of Affordable Housing: Modular Construction with Gerry Flynn

    Gerry Flynn, owner of Polar Star Properties and BWE client, discusses in this episode how they utilized modular construction when building Spring Creek Village, an affordable housing community in Gypsum, Colorado. The lack of affordable places for people to live is one of the most significant issues facing this region, Gerry said. He described how the first question typically asked to individuals applying for jobs in the nearby resort communities, like Vail and Beaver Creek, is if they have a place to live. And all too often, they are disqualified from a position because their answer is 'no.' Gerry and his partners are working to change that by providing more affordable places for people to call home.

    The Capital Stack Podcast is presented by the BWE Arizona Team, bringing you the latest capital market and lender news in Commercial Real Estate. Highlights from this week's episode include: Earlier this month the Federal Reserve met market pundit expectations of a three-quarter of a point Fed Funds rate increase, marking the largest such move in a single meeting since November 1994.
