Adam Keith

EMCEE

Bisnow

Born and raised in South East London, Adam has always been a ken sportsman; representing his high school in Soccer, Rugby and Cricket. He started his working life as a Police Constable in Central London and then moved on to becoming a “Mens Grooming Expert” (which led to him appearing on The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent & GQ). This career path bought Adam to Dallas, Texas where he met his wife and decided to settle down. In Texas, Adam chose to start over or “re-tool”, and pursued a Management Degree at SMU. Once his studies were complete, Adam moved into sales of HVAC where he touched many commercial construction projects. Adam loves the thrill of new challenges, and meeting new people and can't wait to start his career with Bisnow in Dallas.

Summary

  1. What are the key qualities developments need in order to be considered a responsible and successful?

  2. How do development opportunities in neighborhoods such as Melissa and Fairview compare to the market outlook in DFW's more established markets like Plano, Allen and McKinney?

  3. What critical issues need to be addressed in the coming years to keep up with the demand for growth in DFW’s suburbs?

  4. What do outlying areas do to compete with Dallas's more established neighborhoods and submarkets?

  5. How are market leaders maximizing the end user experience? How are they taking into account connectivity, walkability and green space? Most importantly how are you "thinking outside the box"?
