Will overuses the word “tectonic,” but it really does apply here, so we’re going to dive in as deep as we can. We then leave the public markets behind for a telenovela playing out at an old-school Miami real estate family: major developer Terra Group’s David Martin is being accused of playing the part of a Bollywood villain. This is the exact kinda story lineup we love here at The Promote - a lil’ meat, a lil’ masala. Plus, our Punch List rundown of the newsiest industry happenings: KKR's data-center play; Alan Stalcup's Starwood PGs; Newmark's earnings; Aby Rosen battles German lender at Soho hotel; Anthropic's NYC leasing tear.
