Executive Vice President of Development, Brad Knolle, represented EMBREY at the 2026 ULI Spring Meeting in Nashville, where he led a presentation at The Carillon Apartments on the development of the EMBREY-built community. During the program, Brad shared the “story behind the story” of the land acquisition, an intense multi-year effort that remains a strong example of EMBREY’s commitment to Doing the Right Thing. Brad explained the complexity behind working with Metro Nashville, The State of Tennessee, and the Nashville Sounds on a complicated land swap involving all four parties in order to help get First Horizon Park open in the Spring of 2015. “While the project speaks for itself today, the real story is in the decisions made along the way and the negotiations that took place during the predevelopment period,” Brad shared. “Doing the right thing doesn't always follow the shortest path, but in this case created lasting value.” The San Antonio delegation included students from The University of Texas at San Antonio, representing both the Real Estate Society at UTSA and the UTSA Embrey Real Estate Finance and Development Program. Providing opportunities for students to engage with industry leaders and gain insight into real-world experiences, continues to be an important part of the EMBREY and ULI commitment to develop the next generation of real estate professionals. EMBREY extends a special thanks to Cody Shown, Executive Director at the Urban Land Institute of San Antonio, Mary Frances Moquin, Senior Manager at ULI San Antonio for coordinating the program, and to Kelley Shaye O'Rourke, the current Property Manager of The Carillon Apartments, for hosting the event. Thank you to ULI San Antonio for bringing together industry partners, professionals, and students! #ULISpringMeeting  #ULI #Nashville #MultifamilyRealEstate #TeamEMBREY #LeadershipAtEMBREY #NextGeneration #FutureFirst Urban Land Institute

Embrey, Jr. playing a key role in establishing RECSA, helping shape it into the organization it is today. Building on that foundation, Executive Vice President of Development, Brad Knolle, was instrumental in launching this very event, which has become a staple within the San Antonio real estate community.

Team EMBREY joined Managing Director & Executive Vice President of Construction, Helena Finley, at the inaugural Bisnow San Antonio Women Leading Real Estate Awards, where she was recognized as a Leader of the Year Honoree. Helena served as a panelist for the “Spotlight on San Antonio Women Leaders, Mentors, and Innovators,” where she shared insights on the strategies and perspectives shaping San Antonio’s evolving landscape. Joined by her daughter at the event, Director of Operations at MYR Land Services, Elizabeth Ryan, it was a meaningful morning of celebration.   This recognition reflects Helena’s 25+ years of experience in multifamily construction, where she oversees projects across six states and guides teams from concept through completion with a focus on integrity, quality, and innovation. She is known for fostering strong relationships across project teams and trade partners, driving collaboration, and consistent results.   Her leadership also extends beyond project execution. In 2024, Helena launched EMBREY’s Annual Subcontractor & Consultant Excellence Awards, a program that recognizes skilled trades across six states and highlights the importance of these vital professions. The program also includes a monetary donation, made on EMBREY’s behalf, to a nonprofit organization selected by each award recipient.   Beyond EMBREY, Helena remains actively engaged in the broader commercial real estate community, serving on industry committees, and contributing as a board member to BUILT National and the University of Houston Alumni Foundation, where she chairs the Scholarship Committee.   Congratulations to Helena and all honorees, with a special nod to Laura Gilliland, Program Assistant Director of the UTSA Embrey Real Estate Finance and Development program, on also being named a Leader of the Year.   #TeamEMBREY in Attendance: Allyson McKay – Managing Director & Executive Vice President of Management Services Shannon Grenet – Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer Patsy Wells – Senior Director of Construction Administration Michelle Southwell – Director of Communications & Brand Management Ashley Hodge – Communications & Brand Management Manager Alma Nicholson – Senior Construction Executive Assistant Celeste Rodriguez – Project Administration, Specialist Andrea Garcia – Communications & Brand Management Event Coordinator Thaily Gonzalez – Communications & Brand Management Assistant Jose Ravelo – Communications & Brand Management Intern   #Sponsor #Bisnow #BisnowSanAntonio #WomenLeadingRealEstate #MultifamilyRealEstate #LeadershipAtEMBREY

For the first time in over 50 years, the NYSE and Nasdaq face a credible challenger, and it’s happening in Texas. The Texas Stock Exchange isn’t just another platform. It’s a signal that capital, influence, and opportunity are decentralizing, and Dallas-Fort Worth is right at the center of it. We break down what this could mean for investors and the broader market in our latest EMBREY Insights. Read the full report by clicking the link in our comments. Question: Do you see this as a structural shift or just a regional play? #NYSE #StockExchange #Nasdaq #Texas #Dallas #DFW #RealEstate #Investment #Investor
