@DallasAptGP@isaacfrench_ Barrett, thank you for the kind words. Thank you for all your advice when Jack and I visited you in Dallas. It is impressive what you were doing then and even more now. Best of success!
Isaac, thank you so much for the thoughtful post. We’ve truly enjoyed meeting you and your family during your time at Los Poblanos and Griegos Farms Tour. It’s incredibly impressive what you’ve accomplished in such a short period of time. You are one of the few people I know that has such a strong grasp of true placemaking and hospitality.
25 acres of lavender in the New Mexico desert.
46 rooms, world-class farm to fork restaurant, spa, distillery, bakery, butchery, farm shop.
No gates, no pretense. 330 jobs for the local economy.
The Rembe family have become some of my favorite placemakers...
Beautiful, where is this?
Many times, landscaping should be more important than the architecture.
Knowing streets are not going away, they need to be well designed where the pedestrian and walkability are prioritized. Think street architecture. Saying that, we are losing our battles with the local city engineers as they demand a lot of asphalt to accommodate the fire and trash trucks.
Here is a street I lived on when I studied in Spain.
Before >>> After.
Originally built in 1946 as a theater to host spanish films, we gave Sandia Theater new life in 2010. Today it is Aveda Institute, a hair salon and beauty school!
This is on historic Route 66 which is where we have focused most of our revitalization efforts in the last 10 years.
This neighborhood is now called West Downtown which is a great collection of local businesses that have joined together to make our neighborhood the best it can be.
You can’t go wrong with either. We try to do 2 or 3 palettes as well but keep paint color the same to help our facilities crew. Hard to match even when we have the correct paint. Accent walls, although I feel really elevates the space, we are starting to keep things simple with one simple off white color.
@DallasAptGP Huge Congratulations to pull off a loan and deal today! Well done!!
We have had great success with our local credit unions. What are you seeing on the construction cost side right now?
Stoked to be going vertical soon on Griego's Farms - 90 detached rental cottage units in Albuquerque's North Valley.
Getting pretty smooth with the drone too
I would agree 100%.
I am lucky enough to have worked with my 3 siblings, growing @LosPoblanosInn since the early 2000’s. We moved to the property in the 70’s, and have been so lucky to grow it into something special alongside my parents and our wonderful staff. The goal since day 1 was to preserve the land, and historic structures, while keeping our parents proud. My father passed 2 years ago, and my mom still lives on property.
More recently, my son @RembeJack joined my development firm where we have a blast working together on some exciting projects. A lot of cool stuff in the works.
Family is everything!
I am finally getting around to looking at some of the video clips from the last few days. There isn't much of a river, but this fellow landed a very nice splash and dash. This was from Day 2 of Balloon Fiesta.
