Cheap residential ground on SE Adams. 29.5 acres zoned R-1 in the Shawnee Heights school district is listed at $125,000, about $4,240 an acre. It isn't subdivided, so it could become a single build site, several homesites, or a future subdivision.

Look

Blackstone Inc.’s marquee real estate unit is facing a significant leadership overhaul following a mini-exodus of senior talent, capped by the shock departure of global real estate head Nadeem Meghji (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11kxksvgxd&q=Nadeem+Meghji). Meghji (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11kxksvgxd&q=Meghji) announced his exit in September 2026 after less than ten months as sole leader of the division. He follows a trail of roughly a dozen senior managing directors—nearly a third of the unit's senior leadership—who have left the firm over the past three years. Longtime veterans David Levine and Giovanni Cutaia (https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=%2Fg%2F11g9nblmgj&q=Giovanni+Cutaia) have stepped in as co-heads to steer the division through its most turbulent period since the financial crisis.
