In this episode, we delve into the core elements that shape the landscape of the real estate industry: Location, Numbers, Time, Population, Demand, and Trust. 📍 Location: Discover why the old adage "location, location, location" still reigns supreme in real estate.

It's a sad day for NYC and the immersive industry. "Sleep No More" has been a trailblazer in the space and has led the way for many others in the US. We are all sorry to see them go, and wish them much success! However, the fact that the landlord is being so short-sighted and filing a lawsuit not to allow public assembly in a space that no one ever knew about prior to "Sleep No More" taking residency in the space is alarming. "The suit, filed Friday in Manhattan state Supreme Court, accuses 'Sleep No More' of violating the city's administrative code by not having a public assembly permit for its space at 530-542 W. 27th St., the site of the McKittrick Hotel near the High Line in Chelsea. Public assembly permits cover safety issues such as seating plans and fire prevention." If this is how artists are going to be treated in NYC, we will just look elsewhere to major cities that want to collaborate with the art and immersive community and rebuild them. There are so many new concepts with amazing content that are being created to fill all this vacant space in major cities right now. Let's make the world a better place one space at a time with cities and landlords that want to redefine and rethink their city for the next 30-60 years. #rethinkit #redefineit #cannotdoitlikeweusedto Source: https://lnkd.in/eetNK4Hs

ICONIC. Having succeeded in making ‘very epic’ a thing, I’m going to be bold enough to say that the site that we’ve acquired for Paradox Museum in London is VERY iconic. Just look at the video... a globally recognised location, 14,500 sq ft and a space which, to coin the Paradox slogan, defies reality. I was delighted to attend their launch, to watch clients and founders Miltos Kambourides & Sakis Tanimanidis cut the ribbon, and to toast a very special opening. Because defying reality is part of the story not just of Paradox, but of the acquisition of the lease itself. Paradox had engaged in negotiations on the site previously to my involvement, so when we discussed it, their view was that they didn’t think a deal could be done on the site. It wasn’t easy, but we did it. Now, we look ahead to scaling Paradox Museum as their retained property agents across the UK - targeting prime units in all major cities. We need 👇 ⚪7,500-12,000 sq ft ⚪4 metre head heights ⚪space to display our impactful branding There aren’t many of those around, but if you can defy reality and deliver one, let’s make Paradox a reality across the UK! #property #leisure #hospitality #opportunitiesunlocked #onepoint2

Procrastination, confusion and delay in the City’s construction projects are generally caused by the shortage of qualified or well-seasoned staff - those qualified professionals and project managers who understand and know how to avoid and/or minimize construction delays and contract disputes. The solution lies in mentoring, training, succession, and compensation.
