This afternoon, my CBRE Ireland colleagues, Darragh Deasy and Seoidín Kavanagh, and I attended an insightful event hosted by ULI Ireland, where Dermot O'Leary, Chief Economist at Goodbody, shared his expert analysis on the Irish housing market. Key takeaways from Dermot’s presentation included: ▪️Although the regional development strategy aims for 50% of Ireland's housing to be delivered within the EMRA region, only 33% of the zoned land in this area is suitably serviced for development. ▪️The need for local authorities to zone 40% more suitable land to close the gap between planning permissions granted and actual housing commencements. ▪️The importance of using data-driven approaches to set housing targets and inform policy decisions. It was a thought-provoking session, leaving us with plenty to consider moving forward. #Planning #DevelopmentLand #Housing #Data #Policy

It’s General Election week!!! A bellwether for a thriving economy is an active commercial property sector that is attractive to investors at the recent commercial property roundtable that was hosted by Brady Savage-George and Almeda Facilities Ltd it was interesting to hear from Hollie Ruddle from Avison Young │UK and Ian Lambert from Hartnell Taylor Cook, who both said that although investment levels into the Bristol commercial property sector had been lower than usual in the past three years, there were optimistic signs going forward. Hollie and Ian were both buoyed by a recent trip to MPIM, where investors were talking keenly about the Bristol City region. Another trend that is happening is the continued influence of family offices in sparking commercial property deals across the region. This is our third key takeaway from a productive morning’s discussion at our most recent roundtable that included – tag in all guests. Next week we’ll also be releasing our full report from the discussion, and you can have your say by getting in touch with us at info@almeda.co.uk. If you have a view on the Bristol commercial property market do let us know. #FacilitiesManagement #Sustainability #AlmedaApproach #CreatingABetterFuture #VisitOurWebsite

It is with mixed emotions that I share that my last day with the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board will be on July 9. More to share on my future opportunity later, but I want to express my appreciation for the two Boards of Directors I've served for their support, their vision and their dedication to making life better for people in the Calgary Metropolitan Region. I would also like to thank the two Board Chairs I had the opportunity to work with, @Chris Sheard and Greg Clark MBA ICD.D. I learned a tremendous amount from both about board governance, setting up a corporation and finding common ground among disparate viewpoints. Both of these gentlemen always supported me in doing the right thing, even when it was not the popular choice. Lastly, I would like to thank the team of dedicated, creative and amazing professionals whom I had the pleasure to work with at the CMRB. Liisa Tipman, Jaime Graves, Shelley Armeneau, JP Leclair and Scott Humphrey. The work of the CMRB is critical to the long term sustainability of the Region. This team of professionals has set up the member municipalities for collaboration in key areas such as water stewardship, regional transit and transportation planning and regional economic development, among so many others. Their work on the Growth and Servicing Plans will see reduced land consumption, water consumption and GHG emissions as well as saving municipalities on the cost and amount of infrastructure. Regional planning is not an easy task. It requires municipalities to think differently, to change how they plan and to view decisions through a different lens. These are all immediate changes, and the benefits will not be seen for years or decades to come. In short, there is no reward for making hard but necessary decisions now, only future residents of the Region will see the benefit. This work is difficult, and it is critical to the long term success of the Region we call home. I am privileged to have been a part of this organization.

The future is in safe if not expert hands

Cork Business Association has submitted key recommendations for the revised National Planning Framework (NPF). The key recommendation made by CBA is that if Cork is to achieve the ambitious growth targets set out at a national level there needs to be support in the NPF for key growth enabler projects such as the Events Centre, without embedding this in national policy objectives achieving the targeted growth will be difficult. The CBA also recommended the following:  1. A return to ambitious 60% population growth targets.  2. A housing policy reset, focusing on brownfield sites like Cork City & Tivoli Docks and addressing some of the barriers to achieving immediate housing delivery (the relocation of the Port of Cork and Gouldings as a national priority)  3. Sustainable transport solutions, including Light Rail & BusConnects. Let’s ensure Cork thrives as a dynamic urban center! #NPF #CorkGrowth #SustainableCork Irish Planning Institute Darragh O'Brien TD Jack Chambers Office of Public Works Clara O'Neill Simon Coveney

Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) not supporting Ontario Business? Why is this in Nashville and not in Ontario? This makes no sense. "WE BUILD ONTARIO" .... but our annual general meeting and conference outside of Ontario. . . outside of CANADA 🤔? Missed Opportunities by not having the AGM in Ontario: - Supporting Ontario Businesses and Venues - Chance to schedule tours to buildings actually constructed by Ontario General Contractors - Inability for people to attend because of cost and time (We actually run businesses you know). - Ontario media coverage - Ontario Colleges and Universities being highlighted. This really shows how tone-deaf associations can be. This shows that conferences and tradeshows are really just vacations that can be written off on taxes. #WeBuildOntario #OGCA #Construction #Ontario What do you think of this?
