An inter-office memorandum from themayor’s office valued the project’s taxabatement at $998,128 in July of 2024. According to the city, Titan Developmentwill now accrue $998,000 in tax savingsover a seven-year period on the project.A 70-unit affordable housing project,SOMOS, was granted a similarly sized taxabatement valued at $998,128 over aseven-year period in 2024. Titan Development Vice President ofDevelopment and Asset Management, MattLammers, stated in an email to The BuiltEnvironment that, “it is not within ourregular practice to disclose project costs.”When using the MetropolitanRedevelopment Agency’s (MRA) data table,based on calculations from the International BUILTENVIRONMENT6Approved in 2025Sycamore Plaza, mixed-use conversion:$250,000 Vassar & Phoenix, new commercialconstruction: $200,000Approved in 2024The Sixty-Six, new residentialconstruction: $652,543The Pearl, residential construction:$229,562El Parador, new residentialconstruction: $119,436 Garfield Townhomes, new residential:$151,000Park Central, residential conversion:$744,000Code Council; a 96,000-square-foot hotelsimilarly zoned for the same square footageis estimated to cost $25.6 million in 2024. The overall project is designated as a mixed-use development by MRA.“This project advances the goals of theSycamore Metropolitan RedevelopmentPlan by increasing density, adding retail, andmaking the area more walkable,” said MRADirector Terry Brunner in a release.126 hotel rooms for hospital staff, visitorsand other travelers will be accompanied by10 to 12 food vendor shells totaling 15,800square feet.According to Titan Development, thoseshells have yet to be claimed by prospectivevendors.

These features are encouraged on projects receiving rebates through the city’s RTA programwith the idea that in seven years when the rebate times out, the property’s tax revenue willincrease in value. Annual property tax for the project once complete is expected to increase by 3804.94percent, according to figures from the Albuquerque Development Commission reported byAlbuquerque Business First. Who is credited for building this future taxasset for the city? According to documentsissued for permitting in July of 2024, thatwas Total Management Systems. Total Management Systems is a hotelproperty management company owned bythe Sundaram family who operates hotelsbranded by Hilton, Marriot and ChoiceHotels. Prakash Sundaram, a progeny of the NewMexico-based hotel dynasty, is thePresident and Chief Executive officer ofSundaram Builders, Inc. BUILTENVIRONMENT7Sundaram Builders was seekingsubcontractors for the hotel portion of theproject in September of 2024 and wasstated as the general contractor by TitanDevelopment.Total Management Systems announced acompleted renovation of the TownePlaceSuites by Marriot last week, which theyoperate near the Albuquerque Sunport.Development of the new hotel and foodcourt remains true to the area, formallyknown as the Sycamore MetropolitanRedevelopment Area.

According to archived city documents, thefirst buildings in this section of the citycomprised the Southwestern PresbyterianSanatorium in 1908.From that point on, more infirmaries,medical service buildings and the housing tosupport the operations continued to appear.Then the Presbyterian Hospital began to actas the catalyst for construction andeconomic development in the area when “in1979 Presbyterian undertook the largesthospital construction project in the historyof the state of New Mexico, adding a $22million wing.”BUILTENVIRONMENT8Tax incentives are continuing to branchoutward and upward downtown; one beingthe most upward pieces of real estate in thecity. Two more RTA projects were announced bythe city in June of 2025. One a mixed-useconversion for 20 residential units and5,000 square feet of commercial space inthe same area as the Highlands CentralMarket and Marriot hotel. The buildinglocated in Sycamore Plaza is intended tobring more affordable housing options withthe help of $250,000 in tax abatement.Cornerstone Capital is getting $200,000 intax abatement for a warehouse and officespace project at Vassar and Phoenix inAlbuquerque. The Built Environment received an emailresponse from MRA Deputy Director,Jennifer Jackson, regarding a future awardfor the towering Wells Fargo buildingdowntown.“In the downtown area, the former WellsFargo building on Lomas was selected for a$2M housing conversion award. I do nothave any details on the exact timeline ofthat project right now,” said Jackson.According to KRQE, Geltmore LLC wasunder contract to purchase the building inOctober of 2024. At this juncture of Titan Development’smaster plan, the continued support for andrevenue driven by the hospital remains infocus.“It will be connected to PresbyterianHospital via skybridge, the project will offerconvenient dining and lodging options forhospital staff, visiting families, and thesurrounding community,” said KurtBrowing, partner at Titan Development in arelease.

Toremedy the shortfall, the GAO documentrecommends that FEMA should ensuregreater communication between its hazardmitigation assistance programs and theUSDA's financial assistance efforts forapplicants; and that FEMA might alsoaddress barriers to accessing thoseprograms.The EPA has developed a mapping toolidentifying drinking water system serviceareas. But now, says the report, the agencyis also in the process of completing a "similartool for wastewater service areas."Continues >39

FEMA should also, says the report, ensurethat its hazard mitigation programs "identifyand track projects related to drinking waterinfrastructure."The issue, according to the GAO report, isone of simple communication andcoordination between the federal agenciestasked with making community waterinfrastructure more resilient.In compiling its report, the GAO noted thatofficials with the relevant agencies admittedthat "limited data about the geographicalareas served by drinking water andwastewater utilities made it difficult toaccurately assess who benefitted from theirprograms."That the need for greater agencycoordination is not just a matter ofbureaucratic concern, the GAO report said,was seen with the disruption of drinkingwater and wastewater utilities after stormsin Mississippi in August of 2022 andHurricane Helene in North Carolina inSeptember of 2024, both of which "leftresidents without potable water for weeks."That total, while impressive, wasnonetheless around 0.4% below the rate inMay, and a much larger 2.9% less thanwhere things stood in May of 2024.A narrative accompanying the ACG surveynoted that the construction spending totalwas “dragged down by decreases in privateresidential and nonresidential projects,which outweighed a small pickup in publicwork.”BUILTENVIRONMENT40Spending on construction projectsnationally came to just over $2.1 trillion inJune, according to a new survey by theAssociated General Contractors of America.CONSTRUCTIONSPENDING SEES EARLYSUMMER DIP, NOTESNEW INDUSTRY GROUPSURVEYBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter08/07/2025In fact, private residential project spendingwas off by 0.7% in June and 6.2% on a year-to-year basis.

BUILTENVIRONMENTNATIONALLEGISLATIONThe Trump administration’s just-announcedtariff rates of 10% and higher for about 90countries is leaving business groupsnormally in his corner divided on theprobable outcome.The new tariff rates, impacting countries inevery region and continent of the world, arehitting levels not seen in nearly a century,prompting foreign leaders in some of thehardest hit places, reports the New YorkTimes, to try to “contain the damage andconvince Washington to ease its escalatingtrade brinkmanship.”NEW INCREASED TRUMPTARIFFS SPUROPPOSITION,CONFUSION INBUSINESS COMMUNITYBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter08/08/2025Copyright: Canva pro“Billions of dollars are now flowing into theUnited States of America,” an exuberantTrump proclaimed in a statement,additionally remarking: “I think the growthis going to be unprecedented.”The President also said that “tariffs areflowing into the USA at levels not thoughteven possible.”Trump had initially announced his tariffplans in early April, but shortly thereafterimposed a 90-day extension. What was thenan early July tariff deadline was ultimatelyextended to August 7.While all imports under the President’spolicy face at least a 10% tariff, individualcountries are looking at higher rates, withthe rate for Syria set at 41%, Indonesia andThailand at 19% each; and the EuropeanUnion, Japan, and South Korea all subject toa 15% fee.The dramatic imposition of the new tariffshas sparked widespread concern across theU.S. business community.
