I had the privilege of attending the 9th edition of the World Cities Summit (WSC), held at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre. This year, government leaders and industry experts from over 90 cities worldwide exchanged views on the future of urbanisation, through plenaries, lightning talks, and mayoral roundtables. The summit’s main theme revolved around the million-dollar question: How can cities take a long-term view and harness innovation to become smarter, more resilient and regenerative? The Deputy PM of Singapore shared three guiding principles: 1. Cities must empower innovation by investing heavily in the R&D of urban solutions and sustainability domain. Singapore is going all in by committing a whopping S$28 billion to its RIE2025 Masterplan! 2. Cities should anchor innovation in people-centric impact. Singapore’s therapeutic gardens using sensory horticulture to promote relaxation for seniors is a compassionate approach for its “super-aged” society. 3. Cities must build cross-border collaborations and partnerships for a collective future of greater liveability and sustainability. If climate change isn’t confined by borders, why should its solution be? 🌍 Thanks Centre for Liveable Cities and Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) for organising this three-day event! #WorldCitiesSummit #WCS2024 #SustainableCities #UrbanDevelopment #LiveableCities #Sustainability

Eduardo Navarrete, our Managing Director, had the privilege of participating in the panel "Short Term Rentals: Consolidation and Investment Prospects in the STR Sector" at the Urban Living Festival 2024 in London. Some of the key points discussed included: Investment Landscape Overview 1) Consolidation: • The STR market is fragmented, with large players like Awaze, Interhome, and Vacasa capturing less than 3% of the global market supply. 2) Verticals of Interest: • Property Management (PM): Expected consolidation due to the need for economies of scale. • Real Estate Investment: Big funds and venture capitals are prepared for strategic acquisitions, considering local regulations. 3) Regulatory Impacts from several perspectives • Users: Regulation can raise hotel prices, as seen in NYC with a 7% price increase after STR bans. • Property Management Companies (PMCs): • Challenges: High regulation limits growth and increases costs of adcquistons. • Opportunities: Large portfolios in compliant cities and diversification offer potential. • Real Estate Investors: • Opportunities: Acquiring licensed properties in restricted markets and investing in emerging secondary cities. It’s good time to buy licensed buildings in Barcelona! 4) AI’s Role in STR • Enhanced Experiences: AI improves customer satisfaction. • Operational Efficiency: Automation reduces costs and enhances service quality. 5) Future Trends • Consolidation: Ongoing due to market fragmentation and economies of scale. • New Players: A wider range of investors is expected to enter the STR space. 6) Investment Recommendation • Eduardo suggests investing in low-profile hotels, senior living, and secondary cities with tourism potential. A big thank you to Paul Stevens and all the participants of the festival, especially Matt Curtis, moderator Matthew Parsons, and fellow panelists Philip Grace from Bob W, and Begum Agca Okutgen Aga Oktuge from Blueground, for their valuable insights on the future of short-term rentals. Stay tuned for more updates on investment opportunities in this evolving sector. #UrbanLivingFestival2024 #ShortTermRentals #RealEstate #Investment #Consolidation
