Our CoStar News team asked leading real estate figures in the UK to discuss gender parity in the field and what we can do moving forward. Here's what they had to say: 1️⃣ "As an industry we need to do a better job of celebrating and elevating women’s contributions. I always say that I’m proud to be unapologetically ambitious." - Natalie Lelliott, Founder of Office Agency Group TLG London 2️⃣ "I think for the industry and companies to support young women coming through is the best way to address future, senior women representation. That comes with things like mentoring, or having very clear and loud representation, and celebration of women at senior level." - Selena Ohlsson, Director of Real Estate Client Solutions Team Federated Hermes Limited 3️⃣ "I think that you need champions, that’s what it comes down to [...] You need them there, as well as building your network. It’s very important." - Laura Collins, Development Director Stanhope PLC 4️⃣ "We need to make sure our product is attractive and accessible to everyone. So that is one of the reasons why I think we need to have diversity within the company that we work for." - Louise Ioannou, Head of Workspace HB Reavis UK 🔗 Link in comments for the full article. #InternationalWomensDay

CoStar Group’s footprint continues to grow in Europe with upcoming product launches in France and Spain! Leading this effort is Dean Violagis, Vice President of Research, alongside Delphine LE CORNO, Director of Market Research, who recently joined the team in Paris. Delphine shares her experience working with Dean: “This is an amazing opportunity for our researchers to learn from someone who has helped build this business. Dean brings so much knowledge and experience, and we are all learning so much. He has done this before and built this product up to where it is in the United States. It is a big assignment we have, but I am confident we will get where we need to be.” We’re excited to see the success of our teams in Paris and Madrid as they bring our innovative solutions to new markets. #LifeAtCoStarGroup

Capturing the perfect shot on a busy street takes precision. Our Field Research Photographer Juan Antonio Romero Oliver achieved this. "From the moment I heard about this month’s contest theme, I knew exactly which building to photograph. The challenge was to find the right moment. Seville is one of Spain’s most visited cities, and Avenida de la Constitución, where the building is located, is among the busiest streets—filled with pedestrians, bicycles, and even trams. After a long wait, I finally found a gap in the crowd, and I knew it was the right moment and it was worth it. The building’s façade is one of the most beautiful in the city. Built in 1910 and designed by architect José Espiau y Muñoz, it is the Headquarters for the company whose name is displayed in ceramic tiles on the upper cornice: Seguros Santa Lucía," says Juan. Congrats to Juan for capturing this #PhotoOfTheMonth!
