Julia Bunch, the Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin reporter for Bisnow, has left the commercial real estate web site to cover real estate for D CEO magazine and our D CEO Real Estate website. During her time at Bisnow, which calls itself the world’s largest commercial real estate publication, Julia distinguished herself with big scoops—OCC’s headquarters relocation to Lucy Billingsley’s Cypress Waters project, for example—as well as “deep dives” into why so few apartments in Dallas recycle, and how baby boomers interact with architecture as they age.
A North Texas native and graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, Julia interned with Austin Monthly and Texas Monthly before joining Lauren Publications’ DFWChild Magazines as web editor. (There, her stories won multiple gold awards from the Parenting Magazine Association.) Julia’s not only whip-smart, with a wry sense of humor (for instance, she says she’s a “decent cook, but an excellent eater”), she’s also a much, much nicer person than I am. Her charge: to make our real estate coverage the sharpest and most aggressive in the city. So, if you’ve got any good tips about the North Texas property scene, please send them her way ([email protected]).
