Studies show that somewhere between 81% and 97% of all businesses in the US use social media as a form of marketing. But how can CRE companies capitalize on the trend? Younger Partners’ Byron McCoy and Garrett Marler dished on the subject.

After Thursday’s deadly shootings in Downtown Dallas, Bisnow‘s Julia Bunch turned to Younger Partners property management division president, Greg Grainger, for advice on how building owners and property managers can keep their tenants and employees safe.

Many office employees return to work this morning for the first time since Thursday night’s attack in Downtown Dallas, and owners and tenants are asking themselves how they can help their employees to feel safe amidst continued threats, especially after open carry took effect in January. Younger Partners property management division president Greg Grainger shares some tips.

1. Increase communication with tenants regarding potential threats. In multi-tenant buildings, keep communication open. Tenants should tell owner/operators when they go through layoffs, have a disgruntled employee or have other reason to suspect violence. During those times, share photos of the person(s) of interest with security guards and consider implementing nighttime security measures during regular business hours.

2. Filter all visitors through one entry. For buildings that are open to the public, creating one entrance in which visitors can enter allows operators to place higher security at that entrance with guards or cameras.

3. Create barriers to entry. Every opportunity you can engage potential shooters or threats to your building with barriers to entry increases the likelihood that employees stay safe, Greg tells us. Consider implementing a mandatory visitor badge to make it to elevators, a security guard who asks where visitors are headed or a turnstile at which visitors must input an access card.

4. Create active shooter emergency plans. The Department of Homeland Security has resources on active shooter protocols. Create an escape and lockdown plan in case of emergency, share with all tenants and perform routine drills.

5. Encourage employees to see safety as an individual responsibility. Remind employees to be smart about their surroundings, especially in parking garages and scarcely populated areas. Encourage them to speak up when they see something unusual.

The tragic shooting of more than a dozen people Thursday evening in Downtown Dallas is still an active police investigation, meaning much of the CBD is still closed to the public. The City of Dallas website for the latest updates on what’s open and what’s closed.

We may not be singing “We are the Champions” but Younger Partners’ volleyball team finished off its season with a few wins under its belts and lots of teamwork and bonding.

Here’s Carson Rice, Tanja Ivandic, Garrett Marler, Britnai Stegall, Davey McAleavey and Nicole Musto as they wrapped up the season last week.

Bisnow’s Julia Bunch swung by the Younger Partners’ offices last week to talk with Moody Younger & Kathy Permenter about what’s going on in the LBJ submarket.

Construction around the High Five began in 2002, but the area continues to cause headaches. Owners and developers have avoided the area since the LBJ Expressway project broke ground, and tenant reps instructed their clients to do the same. Now that construction has completed, we talked with owners and landlord reps to see how they fared. Read the full story here.
