    Marc Menick: Stewardship and Strategy in Guiding KLNB Through Industry Disruptions (#150)
    Jul 1 2026
    Bio Marc Menick is President and COO of KLNB, a leading partner-owned CRE firm in DC. He spent nearly 20 years as a key Peterson Companies executive, helping shape developments like National Harbor and Downtown Silver Spring, before becoming KLNB's first non-broker President in 2017. Host: John Coe. Key Discussion Points Origins and Educational Foundation [2:04-7:16] Started in private wealth management at 23; found it impersonal and was drawn to CRE after watching friends work directly with small business owners.Broke in via Jay Donegan, Grant Ehat, and Taylor Chess, landing at The Peterson Companies.Maryland built independence and relationships; Johns Hopkins gave the technical grounding (DCF modeling) for credibility. The Peterson Companies and the Developer's Perspective [7:17-29:09] Nearly 20 years (1998-2017) under Milt Peterson, Tom Maskey, Taylor Chess, and Bill Smith during the region's biggest growth era.Ran retail leasing for National Harbor through the 2008 crisis, rebuilding the merchandising plan after major brands backed out.Key lesson from Maskey: retail is entertainment; communities, not developers, decide what a place becomes. Peterson's own rule: stay out of talented people's way, but send a clear message - "figuratively" - when needed. The Leap to KLNB and Leadership Style [29:10-40:07] Left Peterson in 2017 for an "entrepreneurial itch"; KLNB's true partnership model and growth playbook, not management itself, was the draw.Biggest surprise: stepping out of day-to-day deals to support 110 brokers across a dozen disciplines.Leadership style: build trust by caring, let friction resolve itself rather than micromanage talented salespeople. Navigating Disruptions: Markets, AI, and a Cyberattack [40:08-57:28] Reads the market by "walking the halls" - broker sentiment beats lagging headlines.Diversified into industrial, data centers, healthcare, and government; credits Kevin Goller for spotting Loudoun County's data-center boom early. Leaning hard into AI for marketing and analysis - it won't eliminate CRE jobs, but will replace people who don't use it.Toughest test: the 2022 ransomware attack. Refused to pay, rebuilt systems overnight, absorbed real cost rather than fund the criminals. Retail Prognosis: Clicks-to-Bricks [57:30-1:08:39] Debunks the "retail apocalypse" - digital-native brands (Warby Parker, UNTUCKit) need stores to scale and manage returns.IKEA is the gold standard of experiential retail - a "board game" that fully immerses shoppers.Grocery-anchored neighborhood centers stay durable: close to home, and a form of everyday entertainment. The Future of Downtown D.C. [1:08:40-1:12:38] Optimistic on downtown's comeback: Georgetown, the Wharf, and Navy Yard thriving; COVID-depressed Golden Triangle/Dupont offices converting to residential.Expects a 24-hour, mixed-use downtown, not the old 9-to-5 commuter pattern.Sees retail shrinkage and Metro fare evasion slowly improving as enforcement tightens. The KLNB Partnership Model, Talent, and Mentorship [1:12:39-1:43:08] True equity partnership - one share class, full transparency - is KLNB's "glue" in a commission...

  • Matt Nicholson- From Broker to Principal: Mastering the Mid-Atlantic Capital Markets (#149)

    Matt Nicholson- From Broker to Principal: Mastering the Mid-Atlantic Capital Markets (#149)
    May 21 2026
    Bio Matt Nicholson is Executive Vice President of Investments and Development for the Mid-Atlantic region at Lincoln Property Company, with over 18 years of commercial real estate experience and more than $20 billion in executed capital markets activity. A DC-area native raised in Annapolis, he attended the Severn School before earning a BA in Economics from Dartmouth College in 2005, where he played Division I lacrosse. He later earned an MBA in Finance from Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business in 2013 and serves as a Board Member for Georgetown's Steers Global Real Assets Center. Nicholson began his career as a paralegal at White & Case before moving into agency lending at Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage, then joined HFF as an analyst in 2007. Following HFF's 2019 acquisition by JLL, he became Senior Managing Director co-leading the DC Office Investment Advisory Team. In March 2025, he joined Lincoln Property Company to lead investments, acquisitions, and development across the DMV corridor. The Leap to Lincoln Property Company [00:03:10] Matt discusses his early 2025 transition to Lincoln Property Company (LPC), where he oversees 700+ professionals, a 65-million-square-foot management portfolio, and 30 million square feet of leasing. He details LPC's 60-year history and partnership culture, and how the 2023 sale of its residential division (now Willow Bridge) and the Stonepoint Capital transaction cleared internal conflicts — enabling the commercial team to build an 18,000-unit multifamily pipeline. Roots of Resilience: Family, Loss & Work Ethic [00:13:30] Growing up in Annapolis, Matt lost his father at 10 and his mother 14 years later. He credits his drive to the courage of his late parents, the Depression-era grit of his grandparents, and his stepfather's relentless dedication — traveling globally for Micros Systems while raising Matt and his three younger brothers. The Defenseman's Playbook: Dartmouth Lacrosse to Real Estate [00:18:00] Following his father and uncle, Matt played Division I lacrosse at Dartmouth. Overcoming two knee injuries and a coaching change taught him that success means staying in the fight for your teammates. He explains how playing defense shaped his professional mindset — viewing complex capital stacks and risk mitigation through a tactical, strategic lens. Ethical Leadership & Fearless Effort [00:32:30] Matt shares his philosophy of "contagious light" — never asking his team to do something he wouldn't do himself. In institutional real estate, he argues that unwavering honesty and treating partners like teammates is bulletproof long-term strategy, especially during market resets and corrections. Navigating the Capital Stack & The Power of Reps [00:37:00] After stints as a paralegal and in agency lending, a family friend's career roadmap steered Matt toward capital markets. Starting at HFF just before the GFC, he built expertise through high transaction volume and a part-time Georgetown MBA. His core advice: prioritize "reps and fast pace" — stack learning experiences by underwriting and evaluating as many deals as possible early on. Market Outlook: DC Distress & Structural Demand [01:13:58] With DC office vacancy around 18.5%, Matt breaks down the market's bifurcation: top-tier law firms are driving Trophy asset demand while 1980s-vintage product struggles. He details Lincoln's strategy of chasing "structural demand" — infill logistics in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, medical office, and Northern Virginia's data center boom — and addresses the regional impact of federal workforce reductions from DOGE. Life Beyond the Deal: Fatherhood, Mentorship & Giving Back [01:31:30] Father of four boys, Matt coaches youth lacrosse and prioritizes weekend family time. He discusses mentoring the next generation through the ULI Mentorship pr...

  • Andrew McGeorge: Cultivating a Growth Mindset in CRE (#148)

    Andrew McGeorge: Cultivating a Growth Mindset in CRE (#148)
    Apr 7 2026
    Bio Andrew McGeorge is Senior Managing Director and City Head of the Hines Washington D.C. office, overseeing new business development, acquisitions, asset management, and property management across the Mid-Atlantic. A Naval Academy graduate and Navy veteran, he built a career spanning residential construction at Toll Brothers, commercial office development at Monday Properties, and multifamily development at Fairfield Residential before joining Hines in 2020. He holds an MS in Organizational Dynamics from UPenn and an MBA from MIT Sloan, and is a LEED Accredited Professional and active ULI member. Hines DC: Legacy & Vision [2:39] Andrew describes his City Head role and the goal to double Hines' Mid-Atlantic AUM over five years. Sitting in Hines' original DC office building—Columbia Square, delivered in 1986—he reflects on inheriting a 40-year legacy built by predecessors Bill Alsop and Chuck Waters and his commitment to being a worthy steward of it. Background: Naval Academy & Early Life [7:49] Raised in Devon, Pennsylvania, Andrew credits athletics, the military, and academia for shaping his discipline. Lacrosse opened the door to the Naval Academy; he served as a Supply Corps officer in Yokosuka, Japan, then as an intelligence officer at the Pentagon before pivoting to real estate. Building the Foundation: Toll Brothers, Graduate School & Mundy Properties [13:24] Andrew joined Toll Brothers' PM training program straight from the Navy, then earned an MS at Penn (while still active duty) and an MBA at MIT via the GI Bill—driven by a love of learning, not credential-chasing. A timely pivot to Mundy Properties in 2006 led him through the GFC, including the all-equity development of the LEED Platinum 1812 North Moore tower in Rosslyn with Lehman Brothers as partner. Fairfield Residential to Hines [27:32] After overseeing Mid-Atlantic multifamily development at Fairfield Residential from 2016–2019, Andrew joined Hines to return to complex mixed-use environments. He reflects on navigating a rising interest rate environment post-May 2022 as the steepest learning curve of his career. Key Projects: North Bethesda, Walter Reed & CityCenterDC [38:17] Three marquee projects: a transit-oriented data science hub planned for North Bethesda Metro station; the ongoing adaptive reuse challenges at the Parks at Walter Reed; and the "herculean" 2023 CityCenterDC refinancing—a $300M CMBS SASB deal closed with JP Morgan amid the SVB/Signature Bank collapse, the first such transaction in approximately 18 months. DC Housing Crisis & The Affordable Housing Paradox [57:55] The region needs ~200,000 new homes by 2030 but has averaged only ~12,000 units annually since 2021. Andrew flags a frustrating irony rarely discussed publicly: developers are building affordable units willingly, but severe administrative obstacles are leaving those units vacant at CityCenterDC, Walter Reed, and the Wharf alike. Growth Mindset, Sustainability & Billboard Message [1:10:17] Andrew discusses Hines' firm-wide LEED commitment and the ethical legacy of the Hines family. On mentorship, he reflects on a 20-year relationship with host John Coe, his original ULI mentor. His billboard: "The magic is in the work that you're avoiding"—a call to lean into discomfort, because nothing ever grows in the comfort zone.
