On this Season 6, episode #236 of Boroughs and Burbs, we explore the art and economics of creating neighborhoods from the ground up with Brandon Cobb of HBG Capital.

We discuss placemaking, adaptive growth, infrastructure, retail strategy, and how new neighborhoods attract residents, businesses, and long-term investment.

We’ll explore what makes the French Alps different from other second-home markets, from chalets and village apartments to family compounds, investment properties, and branded residences. Max and Matt help us understand who is buying, what international clients are looking for, how lifestyle drives value, and why access, hospitality, design, and legacy matter so much in this market. This is mountain real estate through a truly global lens.

Daniele Busca of Scavolini and Tim Rooney of Jeffrey Beers International join us to discuss how trusted partnerships turn vision into value. From Italian kitchens and baths to hotels, restaurants, residences, and branded spaces, the best outcomes depend on collaboration, communication, execution, and shared standards. A great partner understands the client, protects the design intent, solves problems early, and elevates the final result. This episode looks at why materials, craftsmanship, project management, and hospitality thinking all matter, and why choosing the right team may be the most important design decision of all.
