While it makes business sense that
the property sector targets investment
opportunities at areas with relatively high
income, we hope the future direction will
lead the sector to match this with a portion
of investment into the poorest areas, those
that are completely under-resourced, and
where development is needed the most. The new location and style of the building
is aligned with our strategy on innovation
and consideration for carbon emissions
reduction. Hence, creating a working space
with ease of access, which will enable
interactivity, collaboration and creativity
among our employees and business
partners, was an important consideration
in the design of the building. In an era of increased specialization,
probably no practice in commercial real
estate has received as much interest as that
of tenant representation. The tenant rep
process begins by evaluating and refining
the tenant’s requirements, which vary widely
but are always complex, often requiring an
analysis of a company’s entire portfolio and
determining market conditions.
