HOUSEBUILDER Barratt Developments has said its profits will be above the top end of market expectations amid strong demand across the UK. The company’s full-year update shows a bullish stance even as the housing market cools following the ending of full stamp duty relief on June 30 south of the Border. A report from Halifax last week showed that house prices fell by 0.5 per cent in June - the first decline since January, indicating that the peak for buyer demand may have passed. While housebuilders have been optimistic over the outlook, with rivals such as Persimmon and Visry recently reporting continuing strong demand, some analysts have been less so.

It is a question grounded in the assumption that the pandemic would halt decades of dedicated work to reinvest in downtown Dallas. That steady foundation includes $11 billion of investment over the past 20 years, public-private partnerships that have brought more than 40 vacant buildings back to life, and a rise in residents from just a few hundred to more than 12,000 today.
For those who never really left downtown, key indicators tell us that downtown Dallas is better positioned than any other market in the country to emerge stronger. Consider that not a single major Downtown project was derailed by the events of 2020. That is not the case in other markets. Among the major projects to advance or come online while most of Dallas was working from home:
