Salchert joins Dallas Biz Journal to cover real estate

Dallas Business Journal editor in chief Jeffrey Schnick sent out the following announcement on Tuesday:

I’m excited to announce that Ryan Salchert has been named as our new commercial real estate reporter.

Currently the CRE reporter at the San Antonio Business Journal, Ryan has been with ACBJ since June 2017. In those two years, Ryan has steadily built a source pipeline across Texas that consistently delivers transactional news, scoops and top-line analysis. He also interned at Forbes in early 2017.

For many of our readers, Ryan’s name will be familiar, and they’ll be thrilled that he is coming to North Texas.

Once here, Ryan will help anchor a three-person real estate vertical led by Managing Editor Anna Butler. Ryan will cover CRE & Urbanism, while Bill Hethcock will handle Residential & Relocation, with new hire David Ajamy handling transactional real estate and trends.

Following a recent hiring trend by the DBJ, Ryan has deep ties to the state of North Carolina, where he graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a minor in business journalism to go along with his communications degree in Dec. 2016.

This means that Ryan joins a newsroom with a lot of love for the Atlantic Coast Conference: Anna (Wake Forest), David (Wake Forest), and Becca Ayers (UNC-Chapel Hill). Additionally, Events Director Allie Gatlin and Publisher Ollie Chandhok spent a good deal of time in North Carolina with ACBJ.

Though we’ve set a target start date of Oct. 7, it could be sooner or a little bit later, depending on the timing of his move. Ryan will be in town before then to get the lay of the land, so I’ll be sure to bring him around as time allows.

Please join me welcoming Ryan to Dallas!
