Dan Breslin: Yeah. So so for the listeners here. You’re with HED design. And you’re on the mission critical team, which is mostly focused on data center development. I guess data center design throughout the US and around the world. Or what’s the deal with that.

Chad Fowler – HED: We’re primarily in US, based. The global market is there. And it’s something that we have done a little bit of work and and future expansion into.

Dan Breslin: Perfect. So this will be a little bit of a diversion from probably a lot of the topics that we have on the show here. But I think this actually fits for a few reasons. Number one, we’re talking about real estate development. I’d argue one of the most niche value I would probably guess this is the highest value per square foot transactions that we saw in 2024 and 2023 if I had to guess on a price per square foot basis, like $2,300 a square foot, I think, was one recently traded in Elk Grove Village, which our Chicago audience will know that name, but maybe not so much the rest of the folks around the country. So we have real estate development really high price niche kind of real estate that we normally probably don’t look at. But I thought, Hey, this is really an interesting topic, and I think you, I’m hoping we can get a nice little overview of the industry on today’s podcast. Episode. Chad, what else did I miss from the short introduction here that might help fill in any holes.

Chad Fowler – HED: I’ll I’ll expand a little bit. I am an architect by training, so that is, my background is architecture. HED is an Interdisciplinary Company concentrating on promote and advancing our world. That is a it is where we focus on positive impact and and the future of what we can offer to our built environment and our communities.
