#5 Investors’ Impact & Hochul’s Nuclear Vision

In Episode 5 of the FM Realty Report, Don and I explore how real estate investors are currently influencing the market—both nationally and locally—and what that means for buyers, sellers, and long-term trends in housing. Next, we dive into a bold proposal from Governor Kathy Hochul: directing the New York Power Authority to develop and construct a new, advanced, zero-emission nuclear power plant in Upstate New York. The project aims to deliver at least 1 gigawatt of reliable energy—enough to power roughly one million homes—supporting economic growth, bolstering the grid, and aligning with clean-energy goals. We cover the potential implications for commercial real estate—including data centers, manufacturing hubs, multifamily developments, and industrial zones—as developers respond to improving energy reliability and investment opportunities.
