137 [S2E40]: Mark Figg — The Developer's Tale

We're going into the belly of the development beast on today's show, with someone who's been involved in every aspect of the life cycle of a building: Mark Figg, a developer who's also done property management and appraisal. A local resident born and raised in Monroe County, he's built several multi-family apartment projects here, starting with the building many non-student residents of Bloomington love to hate: the Avenue on College, known initially as Smallwood Plaza when he developed it in 2004. Whether you love to see apartment buildings or you loathe them, it's important to understand how such buildings get built; today's guest gives us plenty to think about.
