Dallas real estate

When the world recognized Dallas as the place of JFK’s assassination, the legendary Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach suddenly stepped onto the stage. Staubach helped the Boys achieve recurring success, attracting raving fans from across the country and helping Dallas form a fresh reputation. A key player for Dallas back then, Staubach remains committed to the city today, fully engaged in the field of real estate.

The November issue of TexasMonthly features a “Best of Texas: Dallas” insert, which – in addition to highlighting the area’s top galleries, restaurants, shops, and services – includes a noteworthy profile on Staubach and his perspective of Big D.

An abundance of foreclosures and discounted distressed properties have set the stage for investors to flood the real estate sector. Mark Shapiro, head of global restructuring and finance at Barclays Capital, predicts that new investment will flow into “the whole gamut” of real estate opportunities, according to a recent report from Reuters.

“What’s happening in distressed [investing] is that the more opportunistic investors [are] willing to take the risks around what is a situation that still lacks visibility, i.e. real estate, over the next couple of years,” Reuters quotes Shapiro as saying.
