Even as COVID-19 has heightened uncertainty in communities, economies, and international relations, it’s critical for investors to step back and look at the trends that the real estate has been following for the past several decades: urbanization of gateway cities and innovation centers; the concentration of the creative class; and the advent of the knowledge economy. Together, these three trends underscore the increasingly critical role of technology in advancing economic, business, and talent development.
COVID-19 doesn’t change these trends—it accelerates them.
AFIRE’s Future Committee—chaired by Clyde Holland (Holland Partners Group), with Byron Carlock (PwC), Martin Lamb (Credit Suisse), Chris Merrill (Harrison Street), and Bryan Sanchez (Lionstone Investments)—discuss the importance of separating fear from reality when looking at and beyond our known horizons in real estate.
