Dallas Urban Summit 2015: Going BIG with Small Steps

Join Downtown Dallas, Inc., AIA Dallas, Greater Dallas Planning Council, ULI North Texas, The Real Estate Council, UTA CAPPA, and Dallas Center for Architecture for the Urban Summit 2015: Going BIG with Small Steps.

Dallas thinks BIG.  But it is often in our small projects and accomplishments that we build our city. For every Klyde Warren Park, there are a dozen Bishop Arts Districts.  For every Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, a score of trails, trolley stops, and bike lanes.  For every top-down master plan that ends up on a shelf, many neighborhood initiatives and individual interventions thrive and make a positive urban impact.  Join us for a day of empowerment and education with your fellow citizens as we explore how to rediscover and implement the “true” nature of Dallas. 

How do we celebrate and incubate the uniqueness of our neighborhoods?  How do we develop connections between those unique nodes and seam together the diverse patchwork quilt we call our city?  And how do we reconnect with the natural infrastructures that first drew Dallas’ founders to this plot of blackland prairie?  With informative talks and panel discussions with planners, architects, neighborhood leaders, elected officials, educators, and community members, the 2015 Urban Summit will give you the inspiration and tactical tool kit to participate in the place-making that truly leads to big things.  You can register by clicking HERE.

The Real Estate Council raised $945,000 at its 23rd annual FightNight on May 12 at the Hilton Anatole. More than 1,000 members and guests enjoyed the largest fundraising event in Dallas for the commercial real estate industry featuring a cocktail reception, dinner, boxing, casino gaming and entertainment.

The proceeds raised will help fund The Real Estate Council’s Community Initiatives that focus on improving housing, education, job creation and the environment. The Real Estate Council’s highly successful public/private partnership model combines the pro bono professional services of its 1,300 members and 500 member companies with philanthropic dollars and government advocacy efforts to achieve systemic change. The Real Estate Council FightNight 23 was held on May 12 at the Hilton Anatole. It was the first time a family of commercial real estate executives, the Mundingers, chaired the event. Pictured: Will Mundinger II, Archon, Director of Development and Construction; Elizabeth Mundinger Malone, HFF, associate director; Linda McMahon, The Real Estate Council president; Will Mundinger III, Crow Holdings, Vice President with Crow Holdings.

Chairing this year’s FightNight was a family of commercial real estate leaders who work and volunteer together - The Mundinger Family. It was the first time in the long history of FightNight to have a father, son and daughter chairing this notable event.

The main boxing event of the evening was the WBC US National Boxing Championship Super Welterweight Title. Champion Juan Carlos Candelo (Baytown, TX) defeated Justin Flanagan (Charleston, AK).
