OZ Case Study: One Dallas Neighborhood, 1,000 Units (Episode 380)
About this episode
Barrett Linburg discusses his strategy of concentrating nearly 1,000 units in a single Dallas neighborhood to enhance investment returns.
Many OZ developers make a single bet — one deal, one census tract — and hope it works. Barrett Linburg is making a different bet — that concentrating nearly 1,000 units across dozens of deals in a single Dallas neighborhood would let his company control its own destiny and create a flywheel of investment that keeps compounding. Barrett, co-CEO of Savoy Companies, joins Jimmy on-site in Bishop Ridge to discuss the neighborhood concentration thesis, Savoy's vertically integrated platform, and how stacking OZ with CRA equity and the Texas Public Facility Corporation structure transforms project returns. Plus, managing the 2026 OZ inclusion event and what OZ 2.0 permanency means for the program's future. Show notes & summary: https://opportunityzones.com/2026/04/barrett-linburg-380/
