Our story

Place-Making

So, I bet you’re wondering why this is called the “Placemaking Podcast”. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community’s assets, inspiration and potential, creating good public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and economic well-being. My hope is that if you are listening to this podcast, your goal would be the same. To utilize the potential of your surrounding communities to create developments that ultimately increase the well-being of the community at large!

Every week, we will discuss key topics of real estate development with professionals from all facets of the real estate development process. We will talk with architects, engineers, bankers, surveyors, and real estate developers to understand all pieces of the real estate development method. Every show will include valuable insights into the process by industry professionals to help you the real estate developer become more successful at providing effective projects to ultimately benefit the surrounding communities

Matthew K. Loos, P.E. graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a minor in General Business. He has worked in the civil engineering consulting field since 2012. He specializes in commercial real estate development throughout the Southeastern United States. His projects include, but are not limited to multi-family residential, retail, campus, and office developments. As a business minor at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the U of A, Loos was given a unique taste of the vast landscape of business. This interest in business strategies has only increased since his graduation and was a driving force behind the writing of his book “The Business of Engineering” as well as this Podcast. Matt has always been curious about what makes for successful developments and has been driven to search for these answers from others in the industry. The candid discussions shared on this show are meant to inform and inspire others looking to make big impacts in their surrounding communities.
