A delightfully informative (and brief) podcast episode on decluttering! 3 key takeaways: 1. Set an intention for your space - “What is it that I want to do in this room? How do I want it to feel? And,… what do I want it to look like?” 2. Personalize your space and make it beautiful for you (and those that live with you). 3. Take small, manageable steps.

Listening to podcasts can be such a great source of knowledge and inspiration. This morning I was slowly making my way down to the office in Yonge-St traffic listening to The Commercial Real Estate podcast (Aaron Cameron and Adam Powadiuk). The guest was Toronto real estate vet John Peets, who is not only a great guy but also one of the most knowledgeable people in the office market. As someone that hasn’t spent much time working on office assets, but has a few now, I was keen to see what I could learn from this conversation. There were two things during this interview that John said that really struck me: 1. Space as a service Office markets around the world are going through a tremendous amount of stress right now and with that stress comes change. I think the way people look at selecting their office is fundamentally different from the way it was not too long ago. Amenities like fitness centres, tenant lounges, and games rooms are now simply table stakes. Not dissimilar to what multi family has gone through in the last 7-10 years. Office landlords need to think about and decide what SERVICE level and SERVICES they will provide their customers (tenants) when formulating their asset strategies. 2. Rethinking how we classify our buildings. Historically office buildings, really all CRE, has been classified as either A, B, or C. To reflect the more hotel like approach to office assets we should adjust our ratings scale accordingly and have star values. This is actually how CoStar Canada classifies buildings already. I had a tenant at one of our office buildings recently ask for a “Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts experience” as it relates to their space and the building in general. So tenants are already approaching it this way the LL need to do so as well. I highly recommend you listen to this episode and the show generally as they have many great guests, including recently three of my former leaders CEO of RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust Jonathan Gitlin, CEO of Hazelview Investments Ugo Bizzarri, CFA and founding partner of Slate Asset Management Brady Welch

Vertical integration...benefit or detriment? Though it presents enormous opportunity in multifamily, vertical integration also poses a number of unexpected challenges. Take culture. As companies expand vertically, and their workforce becomes dispersed across various locations, maintaining a unified and cohesive culture becomes a nuanced task. In the most recent episode of the Multifamily Excellence podcast, host Jonathan Treble and guest Matthew Fiascone, President of Habitat, dive into an array of industry topics, including this one. Head over to our blog for an in-depth look at the powerful insight Matt offers on effectively preserving culture in vertically integrated companies. #multifamily #proptech #realestate #culture #podcast
