The Changing Face of Retail

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/01/23

Today’s show is the first in a mini-series on the changing landscape of retail. We’ve been hearing about the death of retail for more than five years now. There is no question that retail is changing. Perhaps the biggest effect is the blurry line between online and offline. It used to be the case that customers would drive to their favourite shop and see what they had in stock. Customers would browse the aisles and make their buying decision based on what was in the store. That was rarely a

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/01/20

On today’s show we are comparing two different types of construction contracts, the cost plus contract and the fixed price contract. We will describe the major differences between the two and outline the major gaping hole that exists in both from which there is almost no protection. As the names imply, a fixed price contract, sometimes called a guaranteed maximum price contract is supposed to guarantee the most that you would ever pay to get a project completed.

On today’s show we are talking about whether mixed use projects are worth the complexity. This is one of those cases where the product design is designed for specific customers. A mixed use project has the benefit of animating a property and bringing additional amenities to the property at a community level. When we’re talking about mixed use, we’re talking about a residential building with a ground floor commercial. Whether this is a plus or a minus depends on your perspective. The goals of the

Real Estate Impacts from CES 2025

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/01/08

Every year in early January there is the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. This multi-day event showcases the latest in technology. Many tech companies showcase products that are still at the experimental stage and not necessarily available for purchase at your local electronics store. This year I would say that the defining word for CES is AI. You will often find a theme prevalent at CES in any given year. In past years, the defining themes were things like Web 2.0, which nobody even talks about
