Why This Coverage Matters
Retail real estate is undergoing a fundamental rethinking — from big-box anchored strip centers toward experience-driven, community-rooted developments that give people a reason to show up. Ragan’s work in the Farmers Market District is exactly the kind of project that gets held up as a model in those conversations. Being on an Interface panel specifically about authenticity puts her at the center of that national dialogue from a Texas perspective.
Texas Real Estate Business reaches the developers, investors, brokers, and lenders who are actively deploying capital across the state. A panelist feature there is as much about market visibility as it is about recognition — it puts Ragan’s name and perspective in front of the people making decisions about where retail development happens next in Texas.
