  • Ban the laptops! The Laptop Moratorium and why commoditized tech does not belong in today’s office.

    The challenge of encouraging employees to return to the office post-pandemic has revealed a fundamental misalignment between the traditional office configuration and the evolving nature of work. The root of the resistance to return is not merely about comfort or convenience; it lies in the very essence of the tools we have integrated into our daily routines and that are now commodities that allow for work anywhere and everywhere. These devices, which gave us flexibility and productivity outside…

The root of the resistance to return is not merely about comfort or convenience; it lies in the very essence of the tools we have integrated into our daily routines and that are now commodities that allow for work anywhere and everywhere. These devices, which gave us flexibility and productivity outside the conventional office, now drive a central question: If our work can travel with us, what purpose does the office serve?

  • Predictive analytics is dead. Long live GenAI! What is old is new again: AI use cases and considerations for real estate.

    “The King is dead. Long live the King!” is a seemingly contradictory statement that has been used throughout history to transition from the death of the previous King to the coronation of the new King and preserve the seamless role of the Monarchy. This proclamation aptly captures the ongoing evolution in the realm of real estate technology as customers and clients clamor for the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For years, foundational technologies like “business intelligence” and…

    “The King is dead. Long live the King!” is a seemingly contradictory statement that has been used throughout history to transition from the death of the previous King to the coronation of the new King and preserve the seamless role of the Monarchy. This proclamation aptly captures the ongoing evolution in the realm of real estate technology as customers and clients clamor for the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For years, foundational technologies like “business intelligence” and “predictive analytics” reigned supreme, equipping industry players with unprecedented foresight and decision-making prowess. As we stand at the precipice of a dawning era, we are witnessing the transition to a new and transformative form of power, referred to many now as Generative AI or GenAI, which many use interchangeably to mean artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. While predictive analytics laid the groundwork by harnessing historical data to forecast trends, AI is set to redefine the boundaries of possibility. It not only predicts but also learns, adapts, and generates innovative solutions, pushing the real estate industry into uncharted territories of efficiency and customization. This article aims to demonstrate how AI, building on the legacy of its predecessors, is poised to bring about a seismic shift in the real estate landscape. We will discuss use cases that are achievable in the near-term, as well as address challenges in implementation.

  • Dr. StrangeHaus: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the POTUS’ new push for residential conversion of office space

    As you may have heard, commercial office space is the new Big Short or as I like to say, “Remember Stores?”. The Atlantic recently covered the insane phenomenon of nearly one billion square feet of empty office space and if that does not scare the bejesus out of you, then you might want to check your pulse. Many of these properties will need to be refinanced in the next few years, prompting real estate professionals to adopt the motto, “stay alive ’til ’25!”, reflecting a morbid sense of humor…

  • Remember Stores?

    You may be tired of hearing me ramble on about how offices will go the way of the malls of the 1990s. Well, to my defense, I actually remember malls… I also remember NOT buying Amazon shares at $1 :-(
    Amazon is now well known as the mall-killer, but at the time it was derided as a Ponzi-scheme, scam, and many other derogatory names. It was ignored, made fun of, and eventually feared.
    Now the internet has come for our offices. You may be sad, you may be mad, you may even be an executive…

    Now the internet has come for our offices. You may be sad, you may be mad, you may even be an executive that is desperately wishing for a major recession (those workers will be sorry they ever worked from home!).

  • Digital Placemaking and the Merger of Innovative Technologies

    In an era marked by rapid urbanization and technological evolution, a forward-thinking blueprint is imperative for sustainable urban futures. “Digital Placemaking” is the cornerstone concept that will underpin the interfaces and interactions within communities as urban environments transcend to a novel paradigm where the digital and physical worlds are irrevocably intertwined.

  • Bridging the Void: Pioneering Sustainable Solutions for Vacant Offices

    We are treading through a landscape of unparalleled geo-political, social and commercial transformation. It is impacting all levels of our society and economy. In my world of commercial real estate, we see a stark example of this in the looming shadow of extensive vacant office spaces. Even The Atlantic is noticing and recently published an article titled, “The Next Crisis Will Start with Empty Office Buildings”.

  • Unlocking Success: The 110% Principle of Prioritization and Dedication

    In the world of sports, few names resonate as strongly as that of basketball legend Allen Iverson. His electrifying moves on the court, his fearless style of play, and his infamous rant about practice have become iconic elements of his legacy. Yet, there’s a hidden layer to Iverson’s words that often gets overshadowed by their surface interpretation. The truth is, Iverson’s impassioned discourse on practice holds the key to a vital concept in achieving success: prioritization and unwavering…

  • Internet of Things (IoT) Underpin Urban Innovation and Sustainability: Case Studies for Smart Cities

    The concept of a ‘smart city’ encompasses the integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enhance the quality of urban services, improve the lives of residents, and foster sustainable urban development​​.
