I'm invested in multiple medical properties and 1 multi-family with Block. The multi-family property is under-performing from a CoC perspective but execution is OK on an overall basis. They send monthly accounting statements but ground reports on the multi-family is sporadic.

I am invested in the Plaza project, which is also their new headquaters.
In terms of communication it has been excellent. They send an update every month with pictures and progress. They respond to questions within 24 hours with real answers. I could not ask for more.
In terms of execution they have also been almost flawless. There was an issue with an adjacent church that would not provide a right of way for temporary power to the construction site. They managed to get the city to provide power from another direction within a few weeks which was amazing. The 2 years of construction finished just 1 month past due which considering construction in general plus COVID and other issues with the church that was great.
Leasing has been on track and they even managed to find a way to fund a world class restaurant and bar during COVID when no one is investing or expanding restaurants.
Overall they are great. They have DEEP contacts in Kansas City and are obviouly hooked into the political and business power structure in the city. An excellent sponser

Invested in a new construction project in Kansas City Plaza area in May 2017. Quarterly reporting is great. Project is on time and at budget thus far. In my opinion, Block is a large, top notch sponsor, with quality projects, many in the multi-family space. Fees are a little higher, but you are paying for the quality of the sponsor and the deals they bring. Rating their track record middle of the road as the one project i have invested in is still under construction.
