When it comes to office fundamentals, Boston truly continues to shine, keeping a leading development pipeline nationally, stable sales and vacancy rates. Yet, the metro did not remain immune to the current economic environment. As construction costs remain high and the life science sector is slowing, landlords now rely less on rent cuts and more on creative incentives, Hunneman's Executive Vice President & Managing Principal, Peter Evans, points out in today's episode of Step Into My Office.From the Back Bay's resilience, the struggles of Class B space and the rise of amenity-rich trophy towers, Evans explains how Boston's market is stabilizing and why the next year might be more about finding balance than a rebound. We explore the playbook that supports deals today, which tenants are opting for flex office and debunk some myths around the “flight to quality” movement that took over the office market.Here's what we discussed about:Sublease supply flattens, sales activity picks up (01:37)Law and finance expand, life sciences stall, tech remains steady (03:00)Submarkets that shine vs the ones that lag (04:02)What's reshaping the leasing strategy? (05:40)Trophy amenities redefine “magnet vs. mandate” workplaces (09:38)The story behind flight to quality (14:00)Deals via concessions, not cuts (18:57)Flex evolves, but tenants are “graduating out” into traditional space (21:21)Boston's 12-month outlook (23:58)

Bill Hawkins, head of Trade and Investment at Sussex Strategy Group and Managing Principal of GrowthBridge, examines whether the Trump administration is precipitating an end to globalization as we've known it since the Cold War. Drawing on recent research papers in VoxEU and Foreign Affairs, he argues in favour of the thesis globalization has historically thrived under a single hegemon willing to create "public goods" like stable trade rules and security guarantees, but that America is now abandoning this role based on a bipartisan consensus that past trade agreements haven't benefited ordinary Americans. The Hub's editor-at-large discusses with Hawkins how America could actually be helping China's rise in global dominance through trade wars The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.

Wayne Courreges III is the Founder and Managing Principal of CREI Partners, a real estate investment firm with over $50 million in assets under management across Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama. He helps busy entrepreneurs and professionals build generational wealth through passive investments in commercial real estate syndications. A former US Marine Corps Corporal, Wayne has over 16 years of experience in commercial real estate, including a lengthy tenure at CBRE. In this episode… For many, the leap from single-family rentals to multifamily syndications feels daunting — filled with questions about risk, returns, and how to find the right partners. But what if the key lies not just in the asset itself, but in the strategy and relationships behind it? According to Wayne Courreges III, a seasoned commercial real estate investor, the answer starts with focusing on scalable, well-managed multifamily assets that generate consistent cash flow and long-term appreciation. He highlights the importance of evaluating both the deal and the people running it, ensuring that trust, transparency, and operational excellence are in place before investing. This disciplined approach, he explains, can provide higher returns, greater diversification, and fewer headaches than managing scattered single-family properties. Wayne also emphasizes the role of off-market opportunities, strong asset management, and proactive investor relations in sustaining performance and maximizing value. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Mat Zalk sits down with Wayne Courreges III, Founder and Managing Principal of CREI Partners, to discuss building generational wealth through multifamily syndications. They explore why multifamily can outperform single-family investments, how to vet general partners before committing capital, and the benefits of off-market deal sourcing. Wayne also shares strategies for creating exceptional investor experiences.

Nick Havers, General Counsel for Europe and now also Managing Principal at Lockton, the world's largest privately owned insurance brokers, shares three sharp, experience-driven lessons shaped across more than a decade in the insurance broking sector. Nick's recent promotion to Managing Principal, an honour usually reserved for client-facing, revenue-generating leaders, is a milestone not just for him, but for how lawyers are recognised as true business partners at Lockton. His elevation sends a powerful message: in-house legal leaders can and should have a seat at the table, valued alongside commercial leadership. Now sitting on the European Executive Committee of Lockton, Nick reflects on what it means to be a lawyer trusted by the business. He shares how his first in-house GC taught him the power of “making your boss look good”, a mindset rooted in empathy, clarity, and teamwork that has stayed with him ever since. Nick also unpacks the value of curiosity: why asking more questions than you answer leads to better outcomes, how to build relationships across a complex organisation, and how his team uses internal branding and training to market legal's value across the business. In a standout final lesson, Nick reminds us that not everything valuable is visible. Some of legal's best work is in the crises that never materialise. His advice on combining hard work with strategic messaging, and showing how your team contributes to long-term growth, is a masterclass in modern in-house leadership.Guest Recommendation: • Book: Authentic Happiness by Martin Seligman – A toolkit for optimism, self-awareness, and signature strengthsAbout Heriot Brown: Heriot Brown is a leading global recruitment business specialising in the in-house legal market.
