The best part of being a builder is looking back at how old designs were ahead of their time. True in far more than architecture. The @Apple ‘83 desktop phone concept was even more wild than the flip. Check it out: bit.ly/3zvU8qytwitter.com/JonErlichman/s…
Co-sign. Great stories on its design. Architect Helmut Jahn wanted the open format to represent an “open government.” Unfortunately, it also made temp control messy and there was a tendency for ice to form on the interior in the Illinois winters. But it’s still an epic space. 💯twitter.com/Meha/status/15…L
AR + VR have only just begun their real estate journey. So much room for transformation of commercial rentals, office design, residential sales, interiors, and environmental upgrades...but retail will be the gateway. Seeing more AR pop-ups and VR arcades in Asia retail lately. twitter.com/Ronald_vanLoon…
If it seems like every builder, futurist, and architect spent today reflecting on Frank Lloyd Wright's 155th bday, here's a beautiful video on why. His process - tweaking principles - holds great lessons for everything from app design to investing. bit.ly/3mugL71
I think we’ll see a rise in these. Why: (1) future of work lends itself to higher frequency of offsites by division (2) platforms like @Peerspace, et al (3) shift in the real estate cycle twitter.com/hanslorei/stat…
Immersive experiences are the future of house shopping - people want to understand their neighbourhoods, commutes, and local points of interest. Feature + Form + Function twitter.com/Rich_Barton/st…
Cool when a paradigm shift can so directly link to a trigger. Uber: exists -> Licenses as Right of Passage: never the same. What other examples come to mind? twitter.com/emilyhxrrera/s…
Today I saw a cyclist with a tattoo featuring the silhouettes of several skylines on his arm. Based on the shadows, I recognized 8 deals our team had developed or owned.
Real estating is neat like that.
Women of #allinsummit, loved learning about what you’re building, where you’re building it, and what support you’d love. Let’s make some magic happen? Drop your handles below ladies 👇🏾 cc@Jasono@theallinpodo#howcanihelplpn
Had a blast speaking at #allinsummit. I want to point out something important: This crowd had exciting diversity. I met Iranian women, Nigerian founders, there was gray hair and purple hair. @Jason + Besties made a concerted effort + should be celebrated. @theallinpod
Excited to talk about Greater China, the surprising innovations that don’t make the headlines, and what this amazing team is building to shape the future at #allinsummit shortly! 🇨🇳🇭@Jasonaso@chamathmat@theallinpodnpo@DavidSacksack@friedbergbeHx9t
Despite a difficult week for the black community, I am continually uplifted by the incredible wave of change that @altcap created with @boardchallenge_. Cheers to the amazing team and to @HarvardHBS for celebrating the accomplishments achieved and underway. #liftinguptwitter.com/TheAishetu/sta…
“If you inherit a legacy supply chain, you inherit its constraints.” - @elonmusk at #allinsummit…a great hot take on the when+why of vertical integration that applies to so many industries (including real estate)
Greater China cities are known for their neighbourhood amenities. The most impressive of which are usually tech-driven…but perhaps the cat gym off Cotton Tree Rd in HK should make the list?
While I don’t see a robot 7 days a week in Greater China, I’d say 3-4 is pretty normal (5+ days if in SZ). And often you’re so used to them you barely notice. It’s easy to forget how abnormal it is for that to feel so normal… twitter.com/ShenzhenCity/s…
These sorts of transformations are what helped me fall in love with real estate as a young Texan pre-teen. Vacant blocks, surface parking lots, former car dealerships - helping them find a higher and better use is the fun of this RE game. #retwittwitter.com/mnolangray/sta…
As we get deeper into Black History month, it's worth remembering history isn't always so long ago. @RubyBridges is on Twitter and instagram. When Melvinia Shields passed away, my grandmother was in her twenties. Worthy of reflection.
This is a very real issue. A key puzzle piece to empowering minority talent, supporting the next generation, and diversifying the landscape is the investor base. Here to support. twitter.com/CoachLavonya/s…
Our family is heartbroken by the loss of André. And grateful for the memories many have shared.
His legacy is iconic.
But he'll be most missed for his legendary hugs, ALL CAPS texts, dinner quiz game wins, and the joyful heart he wore on his sleeve.

He'll be truly missed for his ALL CAPS texts, boyish enthusiasm for good news (from a college admission to a well-played eScrabble combo), impossible Regency period pop quizzes, and the poetic, joyful, and singular heart that he wore on his sleeve.
