We are bringing you a big topic today, so big that it matters to every corner of our lives and our economy: real estate. We’re interested in what is changing, at what pace, and why. To think through such a vast topic, we are bringing in three friends with three very different but complementary vantage points.
We have Glenn Lowenstein, a real estate investor who has a very holistic approach to looking at the markets he invests in. We have Jennifer Salopek, who knows the business of retail at a large scale, and has served on Boards of large national retailers, and we have Matthias Hollwich, architect, founder of Architizer, and principal of the architecture firm HWKN.
Today we start with commercial and industrial and end with some paradoxical thoughts on retail. All the while we will be working to go under surface level. Next week we will continue with many more thoughts about retail and residential.
