Insights from this Episode
-The single largest impact we can have towards mitigating
climate change are the choices we make around real estate –
Miguel Nigorra
-Anything that has to do with ESP sustainability, carbon
impact emission, circular economy, are topics that are very
exciting for real estate. I believe this is the next biggest trend
for the real estate world – Miguel
Nigorra
-I think sustainability is going to be at the front and centre
of any discussion about real estate moving forward –
Miguel Nigorra
-There are trends that are being basically accelerated, and
some of the things that you would expect to see in the next three
years probably have happened in a three month period –
Miguel Nigorra
-There's so many interesting opportunities, so many
interesting verticals that we're looking at that if anything, it's
the golden age of real estate technology – Miguel
Nigorra
-Flexible space and flexible solutions are top of the list and
this has been a trend for a long time now – Miguel
Nigorra
-So, Europe is following a trend very similar to the one that
the US followed, probably three to four years behind in terms of
growth and technology, but we see Europe as the next big
opportunity – Miguel Nigorra
