What happens when a former sports and CRE broker teams up with an architect to build a Dallas office from a blank canvas?
Sara Bodzy and Aarohi Pilankar launched OTJ Architects' Dallas office from scratch, and they're breaking down how they did it. Two different backgrounds, one shared vision, and a partnership with serious fire.
We talk winning clients in a relationship business, protecting great design without wrecking the economics, what separates authentic mixed-use destinations from manufactured ones, and how opportunities for women in architecture and CRE are changing.
Design isn't just about buildings. It's about people, business, and what makes a place worth coming back to.

Welcome back to Breaking Brand, a podcast at the intersection of retail and entrepreneurship, Warrior co-host Delaney and Bradley Roach. Today we're talking about something that touches almost every great real estate project, but it doesn't always get the attention it deserves. And that's the design behind the spaces. Our guests today have built really impressive careers at the intersection of architecture, real estate, branding. They're leading major projects. They're helping shape spaces across major markets. And they're really making their mark in an industry where women have historically been underrepresented. So today we're getting into design, business, and the careers behind it all. Sarah and Arohi of OTJ Architects. Welcome to Breaking Brand, ladies. Thank you. You're excited to be here. Same, excited to be here. We've got a lot of stories. So we'll see this be a longer podcast. I know. And this is the first time we've had a duo on. So super excited, Delaney and I love when you have two people that work together. And you have that connection and all the history together. So thank you for being here. Super excited. So Sarah, we're going to start with you. Can you take us back to the beginning of the Dallas office for OTJ, which I believe started around 2021? How did you and Arohi end up getting paired together to launch the Dallas office? And did you know immediately that the two of you would work well together and drive? Yes, I'll just sum it up with, I knew we'd work well and drive. But no, I know there's more to it. So really a broker and an architect walk into a bar. No, kidding.
