DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO IT FIRST, OR DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT?

SO AT ALMOST 600,000FT, THIS IS A GIGANTIC PROJECT AT A TIME WHEN NOT MUCH IS GETTING DONE. SO. AND YOU'VE BEEN GREAT. THE TOWN'S BEEN GREAT WORKING WITH US. IT'S IT'S BEEN A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, ACTUALLY, CONSIDERING THE OTHER PLACES WE WORK WHERE IT'S HARD. SO THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS AND WE GOT A LOT LEFT TO DO. BUT OUR, OUR, OUR JOB IS TO GET THIS STARTED IN SOME TIME AT THE END OF AUGUST. SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP. IT'S, IT'S IT'S BEEN FUN SO FAR. SO TELL THEM WHO'S COMING. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET STARTED. SO AGAIN, I'M SO EXCITED. SO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS, AND I'M TRYING NOT TO JUST SMILE ON MY FACE OFF RIGHT NOW, BUT SO FAR, TENANT WISE, WE'VE GOT MARKET STREET, WHICH WE'VE KNOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOW WE CAN FINALLY DISCUSS IT. SO THANK YOU. YEAH.

MARKET STREET EXPRESS, KNUCKLES. AND THEN WE HAVE. IT'S LIKE AN INFOMERCIAL. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE EINSTEIN BAGELS, CHARLIE'S BARBECUE, ASPEN DENTAL, WINGS PRINCETON, MO BETTER'S HAWAIIAN BARBECUE, AND IT'S GOOD MO BETAS. [00:20:05] THAT DOES SOUND BETTER THAT WAY. HAWAIIAN STYLE FOOD. AMERICA'S BEST CONTACTS AND EYEGLASSES, EYEGLASS LENSES, MOUNTAIN MIKE'S PIZZA, PICKLE MAN'S GOURMET CAFE, RESORT NAILS, AND FIRST WATCH CAFE. YEP. SO WE HAVE HEARD OUR RESIDENTS HERE JUST REALLY FOR THE ENTIRETY OF PRINCETON BEING HERE, NEEDING LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE THINGS THAT'S ON THE LIST, WHETHER IT'S THINGS FOR OUR FAMILIES, GROCERY SHOPPING, THE FOOD. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FILLING FOR FULFILLING SO MANY OF THE NEEDS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE HAD. AND LET ME, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME OF THE BREAKDOWN OF SOME OF THE COSTS AND THINGS THAT HIT THE TAX ROLLS. WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO HIT ABOUT 225 MILLION IN TOTAL SALES. SOME OF THEM ARE 100% WHERE YOU CAN GET THE TAIL, THE SALES, REBATE, REBATE BACK. MARKET STREET, PROBABLY 20% OR SO, BUT 225 MILLION COMING OUT OF ONE SHOPPING CENTER IS NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT. MAYBE 1500 JOBS, MAYBE 20% OF THOSE ARE REALLY WELL PAYING JOBS. THE REST OF THEM ARE FOR MY KIDS AND YOUR KIDS. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S A LOT OF PLACES TO EAT, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN THOSE DOLLARS STAY HERE. YOU KNOW, I LIVE IN SALINA, AND I'M HAPPY TO BE BUILDING SOMETHING WHERE I LIVE. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU CAN KEEP THOSE PEOPLE HOME WHERE THEY'RE NOT BLEEDING OVER TO PROSPER OR FRISCO OR MCKINNEY. ABSOLUTELY. YOU KNOW WE'RE PROUD TO DO IT. WE'RE GLAD TO BE HERE. AND IF YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING, DON'T HESITATE TO REACH OUT TO OUR TEAM AND LET US KNOW. AND WE GOT RID OF SOME MULTIFAMILY IN THE BACK. SO.. WE THANK YOU FOR THAT IMMENSELY. WELL, I'M ONE OF THESE DEVELOPERS THAT THINKS THAT THE WAVE OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE FUTURE IS HOW WELL YOU PUT THINGS TOGETHER. A REALLY GREAT PROJECT IS GOING TO HAVE A COMPONENT OF. FRUGAL, FAT, FASHION, FITNESS, RESTAURANTS, URBAN DESIGN, MULTIFAMILY ENTERTAINMENT, OUR MCKINNEY PROJECT. WE'RE ON PHASE FIVE, AND WE'RE ADDING SOME URBAN STYLE APARTMENTS AND A DAVE AND BUSTER'S AND ANOTHER GYM. SO IT'S NOT A BAD WORD TO SAY ABOUT MULTIFAMILY. IT'S JUST IT NEEDS TO BE, IT CAN BE BLENDED INTO COMMERCIAL AND WORK IN A REALLY POSITIVE WAY. SO ANYWAYS, THAT'S MY SOAPBOX. SO.. WELL, SO GIVEN THAT YOU CONSTRUCTING WITH THAT EXPANSION IN MIND. PARDON ME. GIVEN WHAT YOU JUST SHARED WITH US IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE, ARE YOU CONSTRUCTING WITH THAT EXPANSION IN MIND? WELL ON THIS SITE, WE'VE UTILIZED ALL 91 ACRES, BUT IF WE HAD MORE LAND AVAILABLE TO US THAT WAS CONTIGUOUS, I THINK WE COULD DO MORE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF PENT UP DEMAND HERE IN PRINCETON. BUT RETAIL IS LIKE EVERYTHING. IT RUNS IN CYCLES. YOU'RE GETTING THE FIRST REAL WAVE OF EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO BE HERE. THE NEXT WAVE WILL BE MAYBE SOME ENTERTAINMENT OR LIFESTYLE TYPE THINGS. BUT ALL THAT'S BASED ON ONE REALLY IMPORTANT THING, THE QUALITY OF YOUR HOUSING. AS LONG AS EVERYBODY KEEPS WANTING TO MOVE HERE AND LIVE HERE, THEN EVERYBODY, WE'LL FOLLOW. WE'LL BRING GOOD TENANTS, OTHER DEVELOPERS WILL SHOW UP. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW EVERYBODY'S NOTICED PRINCETON. THEY'VE NOTICED ANNA, ALL OF THE BEDROOM COMMUNITIES THAT ARE HAVE A SAY YES ATTITUDE ARE SAYING HOUSING GROWTH, THEY'RE SEEING RETAIL. YOU KNOW THE NEXT WAVE WILL BE CORPORATE RELOCATIONS THOUGH THAT'S IN THE FUTURE. BUT AGAIN, IT ALL STARTS WITH A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATED BUILD TIME FROM WHEN YOU START TO COMPLETION? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? WE HOPE TO START IN FIRST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER, LAST WEEK OF AUGUST. IT TAKES NINE MONTHS TO DO THE DIRT WORK. IT'S A VERY LARGE SITE. GOT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE GRADING, UTILITIES, ALL THOSE THINGS IN. ABOUT NINE MONTHS INTO IT, WE'LL BE ABLE TO START THE BUILDINGS, AND THE BUILDINGS TAKE 9 TO 10 MONTHS TO BUILD, BUT THE RESTAURANTS OUT FRONT MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OPEN. SO ABOUT 15 TO 18 MONTHS FROM THE TIME WE START MOVING DIRT TO WHEN PEOPLE GET OPEN. SO FIRST QUARTER OF 26 IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING. SO, SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT IT'LL GO FAST. BECAUSE OF THE ATTRACTIVE STORES THAT ARE COMING, AND I KNOW RESIDENTS LISTENING. THEY'RE EXCITED TO HEAR THE STORES THAT ARE COMING. SO I THINK IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO HAVE A TIMELINE ALSO. [00:25:04] SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. YOU BET. THE GREAT THING ABOUT TIME IS IT'S GOING TO PASS ANYWAY, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE. WELL, AGAIN, THANK YOU. THE ECONOMICAL IMPACT OF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF OUR CITY FOR FOREVER. SO WE ARE SO GRATEFUL.
