Women in Real Estate 2018: Transwestern Development’s Fankhauser Finds Hidden Opportunities

During Darcie Fankhauser’s three years at Transwestern Development Co., she has sourced and led speculative, build-to-suit and pre-sale development projects. Formerly of Heitman, her institutional experience provides the ideal background for structuring deals that best fit the project, capital sources and tenant demand. She has been highly effective at leading development projects and construction teams to successfully deliver projects on time and within budget.

Fankhauser has been instrumental in several transactions that involve BTS projects with sophisticated Fortune 500 companies, along with complex land assemblages for infill development sites in submarkets where there is seemingly no land available for development. Colleagues say she has formed strong relationships with brokers, investors and lenders to become an effective and reliable business partner.

These are just a few of the reasons we chose Fankhauser as one of the 2018 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

Fankhauser takes time to identify opportunities that others are not willing to spend time on. She excels at thinking outside the box, and is willing to dedicate the time required to find solutions to each situation. This method has served her well with land owners, tenants, capital partners, financing partners and brokers, all eventually leading to more mainstream opportunities across various markets.
