Written by Tessa Bartlett | Jan 22, 2024 10:40:14 PM

Examining the economy and markets heading into 2024, we see a landscape dotted with opportunities. We believe our strategy of measured growth, sustainability, and defensibility has put us in a strong position for the next leg of our journey. 

As we reflect on the year, we’re looking back on the blogs and white papers that resonated most with our readers in 2023.  

The topics run the gamut from our partnership-oriented agricultural investment strategy to academic research on key stakeholder segments for our business, to our efforts in leading the charge on sustainable workforce housing. 

At the heart of it all is our commitment to providing value for our residents, investors, and the communities where we’ve put down roots.
