About this Item

Technology is transforming real estate design, operation, and valuation, democratizing access to capital and information while altering tenant space usage and diminishing regulatory power. Significant funding is flowing into innovative real estate technologies and operating models, shifting value from assets to those who can identify end-user needs and leverage technology for on-demand solutions. This evolution necessitates a resource that encourages industry professionals to rethink their investments, customers, and competition. The book addresses this need by analyzing technology's effects across various asset types, including retail, lodging, residential, office, and industrial properties. Drawing on the author's two decades of global experience with top real estate investors and numerous discussions with start-up founders and venture capitalists, it offers vital insights, methodologies, and practical strategies. Readers will learn to identify risks, seize emerging opportunities, assess new competitors, and transform their organizations or careers. This resource is invaluable for investors, developers, operators, brokers, lenders, facility managers, designers, planners, and technology entrepreneurs, guiding them through the exciting changes ahead in the real estate landscape.

About this title

Synopsis

Why are our offices, homes, stores, and warehouses the way they are?

How were they shaped by previous waves of innovation -- from the train and telegraph to the TV and automobile? 

How will the innovations of our own era reshape the cities and buildings we live in? 

Technology is redefining the value of physical assets: the meaning of location and accessibility, the power of zoning and regulation, the flow of capital and information, and even the notion of scarcity itself. 

How to make the most of it?

Rethinking Real Estate provides technology entrepreneurs and real estate professionals with key insights and practical strategies that will enable you to develop innovative solutions, identify risks, evaluate emerging competitors, and transform your investment thesis, project, venture, or career.
