About the Show

The no-fluff show on flex space.

Most real estate podcasts cover everything. Flex Space Untapped covers one thing — and covers it completely. Every episode goes deep on the numbers, the process, and the people behind small-bay office-warehouse development.

Whether you're sourcing your first parcel or scaling your third project, you'll find something actionable in every episode.

Market selection & land sourcing
Deal underwriting & financing
Construction & development process
NNN leasing & tenant management
Exit strategies & portfolio growth

Got something to say?

Want to be a guest on Flex Space Untapped?

We feature developers, lenders, attorneys, engineers, and operators who have real flex space experience and real stories to share. If you have done deals, made mistakes, and built something worth talking about — we want to hear from you.

We are especially looking for guests who can bring deal-specific insights: an underwrite that almost fell apart, a construction win that saved a project, a market no one is paying attention to yet.
