People Property Place #113 - Chris Hunt, Co-Founder & Director at V7 (RECAP)
Chris Hunt, Co-Founder of V7 joins me on the People Property Place Podcast šļø this week for a rerun. Chris is hilarious, and his passion for the business, team, work and clients really shines through in this conversation. I sat down with Chris back in 2023, and this episode was the first released on video, so go check it out on Youtube!
V7 is a creative and forward-thinking asset and development management company, passionate about transforming mismanaged office buildings or sites into dynamic, highly sustainable service-led workspaces. Working with partners including institutional funds, family offices, private equity, and individual investors V7 add value to buildings by repositioning them in line with the very latest workplace trends and ESG credentials. Chris set the business up in 2015 alongside his co-founder Zak Veasey having worked at Cushman & Wakefield and Legal & General Investment Management. Chris is responsible for development management and investment day to day, and then V7ās business strategy, new concepts, marketing and growth. I sat down with Chris to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
How he got into Real Estate
Recto fit
Carbon offsetting
Building Certification
Business model evolution
"Fight to quality" and "Hotelification of Offices"
Strengths-based leadership
Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Chris would invest should he have Ā£500m of equity at his disposal? Catch the full episode which will be live on Spotify and Apple from Thursday this week. The People Property Place Podcast is powered by Rockbourne.
