Unique Perspective on Critical Topic
Scott’s groundbreaking writing and industry engagement worldwide on the topics of health, wellness, and sustainability, in concert with his international real estate investment leadership, provide him with a wealth of insights that can be crafted to a wide array of audiences.
Rapid market change has significantly increased the demand for sustainable and healthy properties by employers, tenants, investors, and regulators, but decision-making has not sufficiently evolved, often limiting investment to what can be justified by on operating cost savings alone. Continuation of cost-based decision-making that ignores value and risk will both reduce investor profitability and fail to achieve the carbon emissions reduction and health goals critical to moving society forward.
Health has become a critical pillar of the economic success of cities as a result of emerging demographic, technological, scientific, and business changes. Cities face dramatic health challenges as well as substantial opportunities to improve individual health, encourage business and employment growth, and position themselves for long-term success. Similarly, real estate, and other, investors that understand these trends, and how cities are responding to them, will be well positioned to profit and manage investment risk.
