In our latest episode, we welcomed Ben Stevens, author of "The Birth of a Building," to explore the dynamic realm of real estate development. Our discussion navigated the delicate balance between merchant and long-term hold development strategies and weighed each approach's pros and cons. We explored the incentivization of sustainable real estate development initiatives and dissected the risks and rewards of sustainable innovation from the capital market perspective. Through insightful analysis, we evaluated the cost-benefit considerations of integrating sustainable innovation into real estate development projects, shedding light on the importance of sustainable practices. Lastly, we delved into the critical topics of embodied carbon and discussed zoning reform, highlighting the impact of zoning on shaping the urban landscapes of our future cities.
