Roers Companies’ Executive Vice President Shane LaFave recently appeared on The Best Ever CRE Show podcast, hosted by Joe Cornwell. He provided an in-depth look at how Roers Cos. approaches real estate development and navigates the complexities of today’s multifamily market. As Roers Cos. continues to grow its presence nationwide, LaFave shared key insights into the company’s strategies for identifying new opportunities and maintaining resilience in a challenging economic environment.
During the episode, LaFave touched on the importance of strong partnerships, meticulous market analysis, and a disciplined approach to acquisitions. He highlighted how Roers Cos. stays agile in the face of rising costs, fluctuating interest rates, and tightening capital markets—all while continuing to deliver value through multifamily projects across the country.
“When looking at real estate investment opportunities, it’s really about picking the right opportunity—there’s lots of moves to be made,” LaFave explained. “What we go back to is real estate fundamentals. When we’re looking for sites, we want to be next to places that make it easy for renters to live their lives in that location—they are next to transit, highways and freeways, grocery stores, restaurants, parks and trails.”
This focus on location underscores Roers Cos.’ commitment to creating developments that meet the needs of today’s renters by prioritizing convenience and high-demand neighborhood amenities. This approach reflects the company’s long-term vision for success in the multifamily market, even as economic pressures persist.
