Growth

Investing in vibrancy in every corner of real estate
Welcome to Viewpoints Spring 2025

Springtime is here, so what better time to talk about growth?

In slower economic times, we put in the work to diligently plant seeds and cultivate innovative, strategic approaches to real estate, that help our clients prepare for whatever weather comes their way.

So, in this issue, we’re exploring the many ways our industry is growing and flourishing. Our experts dissect what’s driving data center development, take a closer look at the hidden tightness in office availability, and shine a light on multifamily housing innovations. Plus, we map out strategies to build confidence in workspace plans.

These are just a few of the “light bulb moments” our team has had in this season so far—I invite you to read through and reach out directly to me, or any of our team members with your inspiration and questions.
