Schiavello's Advisory Paper Looks at the Future of Modular Rooms #FutureofModularRooms #AdvisoryPaperLooks #Schiavello

A really interesting piece on whether the famous road hole needs redesigning (spoiler alert: it does not, but it makes for a great thought exercise). In our view, the 17th on the old course is brilliant because of its simplicity, much like many of the best strategic holes. Here, strategy comes from the interplay between hitting over the right OB (and the real estate within it) and desperately wanting to avoid the road hole bunker. The angle of the green, road and wall behind it all contribute, but the toss up between a scary tee shot bringing OB in play VS a scary second navigating the road hole bunker forms the crux of the strategy. Many of the data patterns we see suggest that most golfers overlook nuanced strategy, but their choices can be strongly influenced by significant danger. Most golfers only spend a few seconds deciding which club and line to take, so a very simple but compelling strategic problem is required to grab their attention and force them to think carefully. The strategy here is easy to understand (risk going OB or risk going in the road hole bunker) but it is much more difficult to settle on a solution. Here, we would expect to see a lot of golfers bail out to the left (particularly higher handicappers). But, as is the beauty of the hole, that leaves them with an approach which is all but impossible to get close. On their next visit, this experience might encourage them to be bolder off the tee, bringing OB squarely into play. One nice aspect of the hole is that there is a good chunk of space to bail out short and right of the green- so you can play it as a three shot hole without too much trouble. Just our thoughts on a very interesting article in By Design magazine.

Love this Doug Arthur and Russ Murfey, looks like I missed a great gathering! Reminds me when I presented to the City Council back in 2014-16 during the #Uptown CPU when I was cheerleading for high denisty, little to no parking and I observed the future was a #returntoourhistoricroots and still have the presentation I should re-publish with our progress. San Diego at the turn of the century, the after WWI and again after WWII converted industrial, commercial, hotels and homes/manors into apartment buildings and built #SRO and #microunits by todays standards without parking. I asked why can’t I build 50 units on a 5,000 SF lot and 100 units on 10,000 SF like my Dad did? When Horton Plaza was developed we had to replace 2,000 units in the City immediately… Turns out you ask and you shall receive, and I have $500 million of active attainable rent developments in the City and working on the next round of projects daily, powering through the naysayers in this market. I have watched you guys #dreambig and create magic most will never come close to at a young age. Keep up the good work! The next frontier beyond building apartments faster, smaller, parking-lite is a new sustainability value proposition PearlX I am bringing to market unlocking GP equity from the #energyestate, boosting NOI/property values and a pathway to cheaper debt for long term holders, which most of us #middlemarket players utilize as a strategy. We have deployed $100 million across 8000 units and have $100 million to place right now. Look forward to connecting soon!
