I sit down with Frey Chu to go deep on how to use Claude Code to build AI-coded directories, specifically how to tackle the hardest part: getting valuable data. Frey walks us through three real-world directory examples (a funeral home directory, a senior living directory, and GasBuddy), we play a game guessing their traffic and monetization, and then he does a full live walkthrough of the seven-step process he used to build a luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250. I also ask him about the future of directories in a world where LLMs are changing how people search.

Every successful directory helps people save time, save money, or make money — and price transparency is a massive, underserved opportunity across boring niches. Frey built a fully enriched luxury restroom trailer directory in four days for under $250, a process that would have taken 2,000+ hours of manual work. Monetization depends on the niche: lead generation, vertical SaaS, agency services, ads, debit cards, affiliate, and marketplace models all work. Directories remain strong in an AI search world because users browsing a directory are in the decision-making phase, especially in high-stakes niches like health, legal, finance, and senior living. Building a directory is one of the best playgrounds to learn Claude Code, SEO, and lead generation — even if the first one is just a learning exercise.

Audio recording of Frodsham Town Council Amenities & Planning Committee Meeting 8 held on Monday 9th February 2026

In this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore reconnects with longtime friend and real estate industry veteran Jeff Roseman, Vice Chairman at Newmark and previous guest. (Podcast #151. Link below.) Together, they dive into the surging demand for fitness and wellness tenants in New York City, discussing how the HALO space has helped revitalize the retail and office markets.  Jeff shares insider perspectives on landlord-tenant dynamics, the nuances of leasing deals—including the New York-centric "good guy clause"—and the importance of understanding market economics. The conversation covers emerging concepts, evolving tenant rep strategies, and the exciting growth of new brands shaping the city's HALO landscape. Whether you're a seasoned operator, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just curious about what's driving NYC's commercial real estate trends, this episode is packed with practical insights, some fun anecdotes, and a bullish outlook on the future of in-person fitness and retail. On the good guy clause Roseman says, "The good guy guarantee is just you basically guaranteeing that you're going to stay in the space, you're guaranteeing that you're going to pay rent, and if business is terrible and you have to leave, you just hand back the keys . . . because getting the keys back from a delinquent tenant can take a year, if not longer. And that really screws everything up." Key themes discussed Surge in fitness/wellness tenants in NYC real estate. Landlord flexibility with new fitness concepts and brands. Importance and explanation of the Good Guy clause. Tenant support: Financial guidance and market understanding. Shifts in lease terms, rents, and office building resets. Notable fitness/wellness brands landlords favor recently. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Fitness & Wellness Tenants Are Booming in NYC: Jeff mentions that fitness and wellness tenants in NYC surged by 40% year-over-year. The variety of brands—from Pilates to high-intensity and recovery concepts—highlights a vibrant, evolving landscape that's energizing the local commercial real estate market. 2. The HALO Sector Has Been a Lifeline for Commercial Real Estate: Fitness, wellness, and associated businesses have played a crucial role in making office buildings more attractive post-pandemic. Amenities like fitness centers, healthy cafes, and wellness offerings are now seen as vital for drawing people back to workspaces, not just traditional banks or drugstores. 3. Landlord-Tenant Dynamics & the Role of Good Guy Guarantees: Pete and Jeff also talk about the "unique" structure of New York City leases, especially the use of the "good guy" guarantee. This provision allows independent operators flexibility to exit a lease without ongoing liability if things don't work out, while big national chains with strong credit are typically held to stricter long-term obligations. 4. Site Selection Is About More than Just Rent and Buildout Costs: Roseman emphasizes the importance of understanding market dynamics, competition, and location history—not just the physical space or potential cost savings from a previous tenant's buildout. Success comes down to execution, market insight, and a thorough understanding of what makes a site (and business model) viable. 5. The Resilience of In-Person Retail and Fitness: Despite predictions that online shopping and the pandemic would devastate brick-and-mortar retail and fitness centers, Jeff Roseman is bullish on the future. In-person experiences—whether for workouts, wellness, or shopping—are proving essential, and new, creative concepts continue to drive the city's vibrancy.

In this Monday Market Data Report, co-host Mark Lumpkin kicks off a brand-new series focused on amenity-driven revenue — and we're starting in Austin.Instead of just bedroom count, this episode breaks down which amenities actually move the revenue needle in Austin, how rare they are among top performers, and what kind of annual income boost they deliver.Inside the data, you'll learn:Why pickleball courts are one of the highest-ROI amenities in AustinHow much hot tubs, pools, and game rooms increase annual revenueWhich luxury amenities are still extremely underutilizedWhy some amenities pay for themselves in months, not yearsHow to combine bedroom count + amenities to maximize performanceThe data shows that Austin is not heavily amenitized, which creates massive upside for operators who do it right. Some of the highest-performing amenities appear in less than 5% of top listings, yet deliver tens of thousands of dollars in additional annual revenue.If you're investing in Austin, planning a renovation, or trying to outcompete similar listings, this episode gives you the blueprint.Want us to break down amenities in another market?

With hybrid work raising expectations for the office, which is now judged against the comfort and convenience of home, organizations are increasingly prioritizing better amenities and services for their workplaces. In this In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) article-read episode of I Hear Design, based on the article, "Designing Workplace Amenities: Create Experiences That Attract and Retain Talent," we explore why amenities have become a defining factor in the competition for talent and why the real differentiator isn't simply adding a coffee bar, rooftop deck, or game room, but designing the experience around it.  You'll hear a practical framework for amenity planning that goes beyond trends starting with site, climate, and infrastructure; designing around user demographics and community synergies; planning for programming, operations, and partnerships;, and clarifying design intent and functionality. Whether you're a designer, owner, or workplace leader, this episode offers actionable questions to help amenities deliver lasting value, rather than simply another box to check on your workplace offerings.

On the surface, this looks like a narrow operational topic. But as with many things in real estate, when you zoom out, it reveals something much bigger about how people live and what they value.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Last week we started a mini-series on Amenities. We took a short break from the mini-series to cover a few consequential items from the World Economic Forum which is still underway in Davos.

Today, I want to talk about amenities. Not in the abstract, not as a checklist, and not as a race to add more stuff, but as a lens into tenant psychology, capital allocation, and disciplined product design.Greystar recently published their latest amenities and apartment features market study, based on year-over-year survey data from 2023 to 2024. And while it's tempting to read this kind of report as a menu of “what to add,” that's exactly the wrong way to use it.This data is not a prescription. It's a diagnostic.The folks at Greystar are the largest owner and operator of apartments across the US. So with 100,000 units in almost every state they can speak on the topic with some level of authority. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

I’ve been wondering what is being done to increase the land supply and help to make housing more affordable in Perth, while at the same time pondering how it will affect established suburbs and prices. Today, I cover what’s coming for Perth’s housing market and why more supply won’t kill quality property. Even with major land releases, well-located homes with land, lifestyle, and amenities will always win. The real risk is owning stock with no edge when new estates arrive. I look at what is coming North, South and South East of Perth and the likely timeframes and impacts. Let’s go inside.

Alex Mehran Jr., CEO of a third-generation family developer, walks us through the transformation of Bishop Ranch—a master-planned community in San Ramon, CA. Mehran shares valuable lessons on reinventing a suburban office park into a vibrant, mixed-use destination. Mixed-use suburban developments are gaining strong appeal.· Amenity-rich office space drives tenant demand and retention.· Short-term, flexible leases can dovetail well with corporate occupier's needs.· Residential conversions of obsolete suburban office parks can enhance long-term asset value.· Planned communities thrive with diverse housing and retail integration.

A new dog spa. A fresh coat of paint on the fitness center. A yoga room nobody uses.Sound familiar?In today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day, Mike Brewer calls out the trap of "amenity wars"—the misguided belief that more perks equal more leases. Truth is, amenities don't create loyalty. Community does.You don't need another amenity. You need a connection.Mike riffs on what really makes a property stand out in 2026: spaces that foster belonging, interaction, and purpose. He explains how thoughtful, human-centered design (such as a shared bike room instead of private balcony storage) transforms passive amenities into active engagement hubs.If you're chasing upgrades without curating community, you're just polishing glass. This one's a must-watch for property managers, asset leaders, and anyone ready to shift from transactional to transformational in the multifamily space.This tip will be part of a 366-day series, leading to a full book release in Spring 2027.https://www.multifamilycollective.com

Resident experience.In this tip, Mike Brewer challenges us to rethink the old model of measuring service. Experience has replaced service as the defining metric for success in multifamily operations.And here's the kicker—experience is proactive. Not reactive.Mike breaks down why it's no longer enough to simply fix what's broken. You have to anticipate problems before they arise. You have to map the entire resident journey—from prospect to move-out to alumni—and intentionally design each moment.From AI-driven sentiment analysis to thoughtful touchpoints, it's all about creating that feeling that someone actually thought about them.That's CSX—Consumer Sentiment Experience.Start building communities that feel trusted. That feel curated. That feel like home—because someone cared enough to plan the journey.

The GoGaddis Real Estate Radio Show with Cleveland (Cleve) Gaddis | Neighborhood & Hyperlocal Market Insight Presented by Modern Traditional Realty Group www.moderntraditionsrealty.com In this 12-minute segment, we focus on one of Gwinnett County's most established communities and look ahead to what nature has in store for our homes this season. We bridge the gap between "Innovation and Tradition" by providing modern market data with classic homeownership wisdom. Neighborhood Spotlight: White Oak Place, Lawrenceville: Discover why this well-established community remains a top choice for Gwinnett families. We explore the neighborhood's character, from its traditional and ranch-style homes built in the mid-90s to the desirable master suites with vaulted ceilings. Amenities & Value: Learn about the lifestyle perks at White Oak Place, including the residents-only park, swimming pool, and tennis courts. We also break down the current market stats, including the average listing price and the low annual HOA fees that make this area so attractive. The Farmers Almanac Winter Forecast: We dive into the latest Farmers Almanac predictions, which call the national outlook “mostly mild—with pockets of wild”. For Atlanta and the Southeast, this means "below-normal temperatures" and the potential for a chillier, drier winter than usual. Essential Winter Home Prep: Don't let the "wild" weather catch you off guard. We provide a practical checklist to protect your home value, including testing smoke detectors, sealing drafty windows with weatherstripping to save up to 30% on utilities, and insulating outdoor plumbing before the January cold snaps. Understanding your local neighborhood's value is the first step in smart homeownership. Coupling that with the proactive maintenance tips inspired by the Farmers Almanac ensures your property remains a safe, efficient, and valuable asset regardless of what the Georgia winter brings. The insights shared on the show reflect the same guidance provided daily by Modern Traditional Realty Group.

In this episode of the Espace Montreal Podcast, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Lloyd Cooper, Executive Vice Chair at Cushman & Wakefield, to unpack the new era of downtown Montreal's office market. With 40 years in the business and over 4,000 transactions under his belt, Lloyd explains why 2025 is a record year for office leasing, why work-from-home and hybrid models are being pushed back, and how a powerful "flight to quality" is reshaping which buildings win or lose. They dig into how law firms and banks are using high-end buildouts and rich amenity packages to attract top talent, why there is a critical shortage of true Triple-A space, and where the best redevelopment and mixed-use opportunities are emerging downtown. Lloyd also shares his take on Montreal's new administration, the importance of density and zoning flexibility, and how regulatory shifts, homelessness, and political uncertainty all play into investment decisions. If you want a clear, on-the-ground read of what's really happening in Montreal's office core—and where the next big towers should rise—this conversation is packed with insight.   Topics & Timestamps ⏱️ 00:01:03 – Lloyd's background & track record
