AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson recently sat down with Jacques Gordon of LaSalle Investment Management at a partner event for Informa’s Global Property Market Forum for a candid conversation about the future of global real estate investment.

As Global Strategist for LaSalle, Gordon has a long tenure of leadership and strategy for global institutional investment. This discussion, hosted by LaSalle and designed for institutional investors, will likely be one of Gordon’s last public conversations before he retires from LaSalle in January 2023 to become the first “Executive-in-Residence” at MIT beginning in Spring 2023.
The wide-ranging conversation, a special year-end episode of the AFIRE Podcast cast, covers the current state of the real estate market and future strategies as the global real estate investment industry rewrites some of its best practices for the years ahead.
“Real estate isn’t something you do quarter-by-quarter,” Gordon says. “It generally is a five- to ten-year bet.” In this context, smart money wins, especially as many countries move to a highly-leveraged approach to cash flows.
