Real estate used to be thought of as a relatively simple industry. That is no longer the case. "We don't need to do technology. We don't need to do energy. We just maintain a box, and people shop, live, or work in that box." While that used to be true, the industry is undergoing a sea change, and it's no longer enough to just do real estate. A lot more responsibility has been thrust onto real estate owners. It's a challenging time for the industry, but I believe owners who embrace this change in non-obvious ways will define the future of real estate and invent entirely new real estate businesses, much like Lineage did. Great to talk to Dan Roberts and Gareth Evans from VECKTA at Blueprint: The Future of Real Estate.

Absolutely! Embracing change and thinking outside the box are key to defining the future of real estate. Exciting times ahead! Brendan Wallace
Thanks to the applications that emerge with technology. It enabled everyone to reach the customer themselves instead of relying on a real estate agent.

There is so much NOI opportunity for commercial real estate owners with onsite energy. It adds a revenue generating asset and brings valuable benefits to tenants.

2moThere is a very important shift, largely driven by electrification of buildings and vehicles, where energy infrastructure (especially in the C&I world) is becoming increasingly interconnected and multi-faceted. Distributed energy generation and energy storage coupled with technologies like EV charging, demand response, and virtual power plants are completely changing how we view the intersection of real estate and energy. This shift is critical to enabling electrification at a major scale while mitigating the challenges facing our grid.
