With a multitude of definitions, space as a service and real estate goes much deeper than just offering a steel box. Antony Slumbers, Founder at antonyslumbers.com, is talking about knowing your starting point, how to build back better, earning somebody's commute, and how to meet people where they are. We explore the comeback buzz around London, how distributed work threw a much needed wrench into the history and traditions of the corporate space, and the big reason behind why company's hybrid work initiatives fail. Antony talks about the importance of humancentric hospitality, the rational mindset of distributed work, building solutions, creatively working off of each other, and how space as a service can help.

Tom Duncan, Head of Research and Investment Strategy for Cromwell Property Group joins Bold Founder Caleb Parker for the seventh episode of Season 6 to discuss Tom's recent publication in Insight Magazine, titled ‘Office 2025: The Next Evolutionary Cycle'. The two discuss how office demand is changing, thus creating a gap between supply & demand, and an abundance of misaligned stock, and what this means for commercial real estate investors. Tom shares how this moment in the market can seem scary, but that office evolution is nothing new, and we're now entering the age of Space-as-a-Service. Caleb gives a shout out to Samantha McClary for her article on Bold in EG.

Timestamps [05:00] Tom gives a brief overview of Cromwell and the portfolio. Cromwell Property Group is an international investment manager with $8bn of assets split 50/50 between Europe and APAC. [06:00] What is the background on the research that led to the outcomes in the article ‘Office 2025: The Next Evolutionary Cycle'? The feature of the office was subject to such fierce debate in the industry and in the media more generally, they felt much of that debate was misinformed and subject to overly negative sentiment. Survey data shows that there are benefits for both employee and employer to utilising the office as a working environment. Working patterns will change to accommodate office and home working, and where people end up working will be based on the tasks they need to complete. There will be more incentivisation to get people back into the office. [11:00] Can you provide some context on the gap between supply and demand and where does Space-as-a-Service fit in? Employees and building occupiers now hold the power. Landlords should be viewing themselves as service providers to their customers, the occupiers, and this should lead to a physical evolution of the type of space that's provided. [16:20] Your article quotes “[investors in real estate should] act with conviction to dispose of misalign stock and acquire product, which is, or can be aligned to future occupier demand”. Do Real Estate Investors not usually act with conviction? Real estate can be guilty of ‘herd mentality', meaning they follow the same patterns. Acting with conviction might mean going against the grain or put themselves in an uncomfortable position based on the narrative at the time. [18:40] What's your view on building from the ground up versus buying and repurpose? Much of the existing stock will need to be repositioned to make sure that it aligns with what occupiers of today want and occupies as tomorrow as well. Environmental factors mean it will be increasingly difficult to create new buildings from scratch, so repurposing an existing building will be much more environmentally friendly. [23:30] How does Cromwell look at rolling out Space-as-a-Service across the portfolio? A tailored approach depending on offices, locations and market need. [24:50] Quickfire round questions. Tom's go to for workplace insight are Antony Slumbers, Dror Poleg, The Economist Magazine and Podcast Tom would like to use a magic wand to see us valuing environmental factors far more highly in real estate. Tom's favourite holiday destination is Brisbane, Australia.

Get Cushman & Wakefield's Return to the Office reportRead more of the C&W Futures postsSign up for the podcast's newsletter - Make Work BetterWhat can we learn about what is going to happen next with work by chatting to the leaders of the sector that supplies our workplaces? You might think very little. There's certainly no shortage of people in the commercial property sector who have been intent on suggesting that we need to go back to the rat race of all office/all the time.But in that space there are some visionaries who are helping us seeing what is staring us in the face. Last year we've spoken to Antony Slumbers, on the newsletter I've shared links to the Work Bold podcast by Caleb Parker.Today I add Richard Pickering to that list. I was delighted to hear Richard, someone whose writing I've been following for a couple of years, speak at an event I was presenting at.We had such a stimulating discussion on the sidelines that I was desperate to persuade Richard to come on here to talk. Richard is the Chief Strategy Officer at Cushman & Wakefield, one of the largest commercial real estate services companies in the world. His job is to make sense of the changes happening in the demand for property and to advise clients where we're going.He's straight talking - both about what the office needs to adapt and how this is going to have ripple effects for companies and cities.We talk about: How we've only just started understanding different modalities of workHow firms might start including commuting time in the working dayHow cities might start offering public transport for freeHow cities will become younger See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
There is a fundamental misunderstanding that changes to how we work, post pandemic, are merely an acceleration of trends that were already underway. Are we in fact witnessing the start of a revolution that will utterly transform the dynamics of the real estate industry? As we move to hybrid working a variety of working patterns will emerge. How will we need to change the way we operate as individuals and as companies? How should companies pivot so that they are primarily thinking about real estate as enabling employees to be as happy, healthy AND productive as they can be? How should we think about 'space as a service' - where consumption reflects the needs of the 'customers' - the employees? For this podcast Michael Creamer was joined by Antony Slumbers, Co-Founder at Real Innovation Academy. Antony has been a software development and technology strategist in commercial real estate since 1995. He now consults and works with real estate boards on transformation, technology and innovation. A well-known speaker in property, he is a globally recognised expert on PropTech and 'space as a service'.
On this week’s WB-40 we talk with Antony Slumbers about the commercial property market and the way that the pandemic might change who provides office space in the future.

Why human skills matter in an intensely more technological world? Are we going to return to our offices when the pandemic is over, or is remote work the new normal? Will office space become a service? In Episode 3 of Cleaning Up Antony Slumbers, software technology strategist, commercial real estate expert and an art historian answers all of these questions.Antony has 25 years of experience as a software technology strategist and commercial real estate expert, real expert on PropTech, and #SpaceAsAService.Founder:• 1995 Founded Estates Today (1995)• 1999 Cityoffices.net, sold 2019• 2000: Businessparks.net (sold)• 2001: Co-founded Vicinitee, grew to serve 400+ Properties, 7,000 Occupiers, 15,000 + FM Users, 720,000+ System Users (2017 sold 50% to British Land)• 2007: founded Glasnost21 - Software as a Service suite of productivity tools including Contacts, Project & Image Management and Pipeline, a business development tracking tool ( Exited 2019)• Founded PropAI - in partnership with OFTNAI (Oxford Foundation for Theoretical Neuroscience & Artificial Intelligence)• March 2020 - Founded the Real Innovation Academy - an online platform teaching technology to real estate professionals, and vice versaWriter and journalist:• Since 2014 written a monthly column on Technology & Property in the Estates Gazette.• 2017: No 1 Non-US CRE Blog & Person to follow on Twitter - Duke Long's annual Top 100 Lists.• January 2020 - launched The Antony Slumbers PodcastAntony and Michael first met on Twitter, and found they were doing a lot of the same things in terms of speaking and advising big companies, so they met up at the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly, where Antony hangs out when he’s in London. Because before all this, Antony studied art history and was a 19th Century UK & European Art Dealer.In our conversation we cover the future of work and discuss the seeming paradox that in intensely more technological world, the value is going to go to humans with very advanced human skills, not necessarily technological skills. Antony elaborates on the concept of space as a service, forecasts how the post-Covid office space will look like and presents his concept of reviving high streets while reducing transport emissions. We touched upon a number of other issues as well (no discussion on fussball techniques though).Antony's bio:https://www.antonyslumbers.com/aboutSpace as a Service: The Trillion Dollar Hashtaghttps://www.antonyslumbers.com/theblog/2019/1/30/space-as-a-service-the-trillion-dollar-hashtagRetail Real Estate after the Apocalypsehttps://www.antonyslumbers.com/theblog/2020/5/4/retail-real-estate-after-the-apocalypseWork, The Workplace and Covid-19https://www.antonyslumbers.com/theblog/2020/4/20/work-the-workplace-and-covid-19
Award winning Architect turned property developer, Martin Prince-Parrott from Blackswan Property, a Birmingham, England residential property developer, joins Bold Founder, Caleb Parker, to discuss the work from home (#WFH) movement and what it could mean for existing and emerging residential assets The lines between work and life have long been blurred and now we’re going to see a blurring of the lines between the workplace and the home. Martin shares his insights into how the world of residential real estate is responding. Get ready for a new hashtag, because Martin believes we’re going to see the rise of #Resimercial - a Space-as-a-Service solution that’s a blend of work and home where people join like a gym with the flexibility to move from city to city within the network and access with their mobile phone. Connect with Martin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPrinParr Connect with Caleb on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Caleb_Parker If you have any questions or feedback on this episode, email podcast@workbold.co Value Bombs and tweetables Center of gravity in people's lives has shifted from work and central business districts to their homes. Generic office space providers and businesses must now compete with the already customised homes of workers In response residential must now accommodate work functions and expectations; space, light, connectivity Remote working is creating opportunities for co-living brands in residential real estate as people are placing more emphasis on selecting homes in which they can live and work comfortably Co-living is the purest manifestation of Space-as-a-Service in the residential real estate Commercial real estate developers can learn a lot from the residential and hospitality world as it shifts from product to service Brand is important in co-living as it is a proxy for value and experience The co-living model creates a network effect where customers can move across locations or cities and have the same customer experience, thereby extending the lifetime value of a customer Co-Living brands which listen to their members will be able to improve and refine each successive development by leveraging their customer feedback data, the process will be iterative Smart Residential developers will start to partner with Space-as-a-Service operators to manage amenities, such as workspaces, and build communities Some co-living brands will partner with Space-as-a-Service operators to manage the workspace component of the co-living stack We’re going to see the rise of #Resimercial - a Space-as-a-Service solution where people join, much like a gym, and it’s a blend of work and home with the flexibility to move from city to city, space to space within the eco-system and it will all be fully accessible via smart phones.

The outspoken #CRE Broker and social media influencer (11k+ followers on Twitter), Duke Long, joins Bold founder, Caleb Parker to share the story behind his Top 100 people in commercial real estate to follow on Twitter list and explain his recent rants about the negative pitching that is happening in CRE during the current pandemic, including on social media and in the press. In this uncensored episode we find out what Duke thinks the “new normal” will be after lockdown, what the office sector can learn from the events industry to entice people back to the office, if remote work will accelerate Space-as-a-Service, and whether commercial real estate remains a stable investment if the future of commercial real estate is flexible. And finally once and for all we find out who really invented the hashtag #Space-as-a-Service. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity.

Historically commercial real estate was a stable and predictable investment - how do you expect this to change?

Who in #CRE should people be tuning into for advice or examples of leadership during this crisis?

(click to tweet) 2) #SpaceAsAService is now rapidly moving into the mainstream. The confusion of a Chicken and Pig. ‘What’s the difference between the Chicken and the Pig in a bacon and egg sandwich?’ ‘The Chicken is involved but the Pig is committed!’ Knowing who you are as a Landlord is vital with #SpaceAsAService. Successful networks win because they become a safe, comfortable and painless solution to a need. And they grow exponentially; from no-one knowing anything about them to suddenly being known by everyone. But once established their value grows exponentially as well. People are tribal, we like to belong. Only Pigs will build #SpaceAsAService networks we want to belong to. But there will be many winners in a #SpaceAsAService world, Chickens as well as Pigs. 3) Mostly, real estate companies are optimized for being Product/Rent Collector companies. As they should be. That is what has worked for several decades. Build or buy an asset, lease it, keep it or sell it. And many are very good at that; the concern is that many will forget what they are, and think their slick machine will work in a different world. It won’t. 4) "The days of coming into the office 5 days a week is terminal!"
