ULI France: Collaboration key to meeting industry challenges

As the new Chair of ULI France, Sébastien Chemouny, Head of France at Allianz Real Estate, tells the Real Asset Day that he has three main priorities; increase customer value by focusing on content, further enhance the reputation of ULI France, and grow the membership.  

 

Chemouny sees collaboration and sharing insights as key to meeting the challenges in the industry, not least those trends accelerated by COVID-19; sustainable development, digitisation, and how cities work with buildings.

 

A key focus will also be on the future of the industry including the Young Leaders and Next Generation. This is reflected in the ULI France conference on 12th November which focuses on the 2024 Paris Olympic Games; how to make the investment financially viable and how to create the right heritage for the future.

Office trends: Flexibility and a shift to suburban markets

There was already a structural shift towards flexible space, offering flexibility to tenants and a variety of amenities, Jonny Rosenblatt, co-CEO, Spacemade tells the Real Asset Day. The health crisis has accelerated these trends; 'workers and employees want full flexibility over where they work, the times they work, how they work and how they collaborate with their team,' says Rosenblatt. He also sees an increased shift towards suburban markets: 'We've just launched a space in a really strong London suburb, Queens Park, and we've seen an enormous uptake bigger than any of our other spaces.' 

Well-being is key to future proofing offices
