Amazon’s big move back to the office—will multifamily follow suit? Let’s explore the implications for our industry. In today’s episode of Multifamily Collective, we discuss the ongoing debate about returning to the office. With Amazon announcing a full five-day office return starting January 2nd, the question looms—how will multifamily organizations respond? While remote work and hybrid models have thrived post-COVID, the collaborative energy and spontaneous innovation of in-person work are hard to deny. I reflect on the multifamily world, where remote work has long been part of regional managers’ roles. Will property management firms return their teams full-time, stick with hybrid models, or stay remote? The benefits of in-person work—collaborative thinking, cross-departmental engagement, and those invaluable "water cooler" moments—are clear, but the push for flexibility remains strong. What’s your take? Will your teams be back in the office, or will multifamily continue to lead the charge in remote work flexibility? Join the conversation!

Is the multifamily market on the brink of a major shift? Let’s dive into the latest insights and what they mean for you. In this episode of Multifamily Collective, we break down the emerging signs that transaction volumes in multifamily real estate are poised to rise. With giants like Waterton closing a $1.7 billion fund and Ares raising a record $3.3 billion, the stage is set for a wave of activity in the distressed real estate market. But here's the kicker—many players have managed to "kick the can down the road" on debt restructuring. Will this reduce the volume of distressed assets? And how does this impact mid-market players competing with institutional giants like Blackstone and BlackRock? Tune in to hear my thoughts on the evolving landscape and share your insights. Is this the start of a new real estate cycle, or will fewer distressed assets make it harder for smaller players to grab a piece of the action?

Welcome back to the Multifamily Collective! In today's episode, I discuss my key takeaways from Blueprint 2024 in Las Vegas. This is the conference for anyone invested in PropTech and the built space. From tech innovators to investors and operators, Blueprint brings around 3,000 minds to spark conversations that lead to game-changing ideas. Last year, the room felt a bit tense, with an uncertain economy, rising interest rates, and VC funding drying up in PropTech. But this year? The energy was different, in a good way. It felt like the ice was finally starting to thaw. People are gearing up for new opportunities to invest in and deploy technology in multifamily and real estate. I'll be breaking down some of the most exciting insights from the event in upcoming posts, but let’s say things are looking up for now. If you’re serious about being on the cutting edge of multifamily or PropTech, Blueprint 2024 is the place to be—and I highly recommend budgeting for next year’s event!
