One guest is closing a deal to build eight townhomes on a former parking lot in San Jose. The other develops multifamily communities by the hundreds of units, nationwide.

In this episode, Ryan Elazari sits down with Charles Tseng, Founder and CEO of Cityzone, and Bryan Lamb, EVP and Multifamily Sector Lead at Ryan Companies, to break down two opposite bets on how America actually gets housing built: AI-driven infill at the missing middle versus institutional multifamily at national scale.

🔑 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why Bryan Lamb says building beats buying at today's cap rates, and the math behind a 7 percent return on cost

• How Charles Tseng uses AI to source and permit missing middle infill housing under California's new pro housing laws

• Why California's stacked zoning codes have gotten too complex for humans to navigate without AI

• Why a national rent growth policy and as of right permitting are the two levers both guests agree could fix housing

• Whether this is really a national housing crisis, or one concentrated at the bottom of the market

💬 "Imagine a city where you could only shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. That's basically what's happening in housing." — Charles Tseng

Philip Krim spent eight and a half years turning Casper into a household name, then walked away from consumer almost entirely to bet on something people will never see. In this Founder Series episode, Philip Krim, Co-Founder and CEO of Montauk Capital, breaks down why bring-your-own-power is becoming the default way data centers get built and what it actually takes to build the infrastructure behind AI.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

• Why bring-your-own-power is becoming the default way data centers get built, and why Texas is leading it
• Why New York's one-year moratorium on hyperscale data centers is a preview of the regulatory wave heading nationwide
• The real tell that a company's AI governance is a boardroom mandate and not actual organizational change
• Why Krim thinks capital is not the bottleneck in energy and digital infrastructure, deployment and deal structuring are
• How Montauk turns commercial real estate owners into company-building partners, using Perimeter Compute as the model
• The line between founder conviction and simply not listening to customers, and how Krim tests for it

Every vendor in the built world calls itself an AI company. Verantum's CEO refuses to.

In this Founder Series episode, Ryan Elazari sits down with Ryan Adelman, Chief Executive Officer of Verantum, to talk about why his company traded a 22-year-old brand name for one nobody had heard of, and what that rebrand signals about where building performance is headed.

Phoenix Energy Technologies spent 22 years becoming the name that large, multi-site portfolio operators trusted to manage HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, and energy across their buildings. Adelman joined the company six years ago and became CEO two years ago. Under his lead, the company expanded past comfort and energy optimization into full asset lifecycle management, tracking the health of the equipment itself rather than just its settings, culminating in this year's rebrand to Verantum, a name built from verus and quantum, truth quantified. Adelman explains why facilities and energy teams keep shrinking while the portfolios they manage keep growing, and why so much smart building technology gets installed, demoed well, and then dies the moment a technician has to use it in the field.

He makes the case against leading with AI, even though Verantum has used it for 15 years, and lays out how a conservative industry with zero tolerance for risk comes to trust one company enough to open its entire network, every controller and sensor, to outside integration. The conversation also covers Verantum's partnership with Leap, what deferred capital actually costs an owner over time, and the trait Adelman looks for after mentoring founders through Cleantech Open and Village Capital.

Most CRE firms are about to fail at AI, and not for the reason they think. In her farewell as co-host, Nadine Ezzie tells Ryan Elazari why buying the tools is the easy part.

Nadine Ezzie, Managing Partner of Ezzie and Co. has spent twenty years in law and PropTech watching the industry chase shortcuts. Her warning: the firms treating AI as a switch to flip, without clean data or trained people, are setting themselves up to fail. If your data isn't ready, you're automating slop. If you skip upskilling, adoption stalls.

She makes the case for human-centric commercial real estate, explains why skill-based roles get automated while human skills move to the center, and reads the migration to the Midwest. Two years after they launched CRE Unplugged at a NAIOP dinner, this is Ryan and Nadine closing her run as co-host with the candor the show was built on.

The data center industry is losing the public narrative, and CENSAI has the survey numbers to prove it.

In this Founder Series episode, Ryan Elazari sits down with Devin Boesen, Director of Population and Migration Products, and Jon Liggett, Head of Data and Partnerships at CENSAI, to dig into what population intelligence actually reveals about how Americans move, where they avoid, and why the stories being told about climate migration and data center opposition don't always match the data.

CENSAI was built during COVID, when census data was stale, U-Haul surveys were passing as market intelligence, and nobody could answer basic questions about where people were actually going, at the income level, the building level, or the zip code level. Devin and Jon explain how individual-level address history going back to 2009 became the foundation of a platform now used for multifamily diligence, student housing underwriting, and Snowbird market analysis across South Florida.

The conversation covers climate migration in detail: why the prediction of a great Midwest exodus isn't showing up in the data, what is actually happening along the Gulf Coast and in markets like Tampa and Orlando, and how insurance cycles interact with, but don't fully explain, where people move. They also address AI, specifically what has changed inside CENSAI in the last three months and why the real advantage isn't the chat layer everyone is bolting onto their products. And they share fresh survey data on data center sentiment: 44 percent of respondents oppose a data center near their home, a more negative reaction than they have to power plants, gas lines, battery storage facilities, or nuclear reactors.

What do brokerages actually want from technology? Ashley Stinton, Managing Partner of NAR REACH, decides which real estate technology companies get to scale across the largest organized real estate market in the world. Here is what she sees most founders getting wrong.

Trillions of dollars are flowing into PropTech, but the gap between a great demo and real Realtor adoption is where most companies die. In this episode of CRE Unplugged, host Ryan Elazari sits down with Ashley Stinton, Managing Partner of NAR REACH for a ground-level breakdown of what brokerages actually want from technology and where residential real estate innovation is heading next.

The conversation covers the two biggest mistakes founders make when selling into brokerages, why the top down approach into franchise brands rarely translates to agent adoption, and why a champion inside the organization is the difference between a tool that gets used and a tool that gets forgotten. Stinton also tackles where robotics are realistically headed in construction and multifamily, why the digitization of the real estate transaction is finally accelerating, and how AI photo disclosure policy is reshaping the trust conversation between brokerages and consumers.

GUEST BIO

Ashley Stinton is the Managing Partner of NAR REACH, the scale-up program operated by Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of Realtors. Based in Chicago, she oversees the US residential program and has supported the program's expansion into global markets including the UK. She is the person responsible for identifying which PropTech companies are ready to scale across the housing market and connecting them with the Realtor community that can actually drive adoption. Before real estate, Stinton built her career at Coca-Cola and 3M, working with enterprise accounts across the construction, home improvement, and consumer goods space. That cross-sector background gives her a distinct perspective on how legacy industries adopt new technology and what it takes for early stage companies to break through at the enterprise level.

The power grid holding America's AI future together was built decades ago and it was never designed for this. Two of the sharpest minds in data center development just told us exactly what's coming.

Trillions of dollars are flooding into data center development, but most of the people chasing that capital do not understand the fundamentals. In this episode of CRE Unplugged, host Ryan Elazari sits down with Dillon Zahler, co-founder of Colossus Data Center Advisors, and Nathaniel Persky, Senior Director of Project Development at Dataprana, for a ground-level breakdown of what is actually happening in the data center market and what most people are getting wrong.

The conversation covers the real risk profile of AI-driven demand, why the anticipated power wall around 2030 is more serious than most developers are pricing in, and why natural gas remains the backbone of the energy mix despite the industry's renewable commitments. Zahler and Persky also tackle the community education gap that is generating moratoriums and misinformation at the local government level, and explain why data centers are in fact subsidizing grid upgrades that should have been completed decades ago.

Guest Bios

Dillon Zahler is the co-founder of Colossus Data Center Advisors, a development and due diligence platform that works with landowners, industrial groups, and financial institutions to evaluate data center potential. He began his career as a mechanical engineer serving the U.S. Navy and laboratory equipment sectors before moving into MEP design and construction management for data centers, where he has been involved in over five to six gigawatts of development exercises. His firm sits at the intersection of technical rigor and capital markets strategy.

Nathaniel Persky is the Senior Director of Project Development for Data Center Construction at Dataprana, where he leads large-scale facility development from site selection through execution. His path into the sector is unconventional — he spent years as a commercial real estate broker focused on high-power industrial users including movie studios and medical marijuana facilities before transitioning into data center development. That cross-sector background gives him a distinct perspective on capital deployment, utility relationships, and market evaluation.

Small businesses aren't credit risks. They're cash flow timing risks. And the commercial real estate industry has been treating them like the same problem for decades.

In this episode of the CRE Unplugged Founder Series, Ryan Elazari sits down with Alix Maurin and Joseph Thalinjan, Co-Founders of RentFlow, a Y Combinator-backed platform giving small business tenants flexible, cash flow-aligned rent payment solutions while ensuring landlords still get paid on the first of the month. Two former McKinsey consultants who discovered that nearly 50% of small businesses are late on rent, not because they can't pay, but because of a structural mismatch between when money comes in and when rent is due.

The conversation covers how RentFlow uses bank transaction data and AI to analyze actual payment behavior rather than outdated credit proxies, what landlords miss when they rely on traditional underwriting, and why the rigid monthly rent cycle built for 1950 is quietly damaging commercial portfolios today. Alix and Joseph also open up about product-market fit, navigating the transition from corporate to founder life, and what it really means to build through doubt.

Ryan closes with his Moneyball take: the landlords who adopt a data-driven approach to tenant relationships early will have the same competitive edge the Oakland A's had. This is that inflection point for commercial real estate.

What happens when a marketing veteran builds PropTech from the inside out? In this episode of CRE Unplugged, Ryan sits down with David Abrams, Co-Founder and CEO of HILO, to unpack why the best building technology isn't the loudest it's the most thoughtful.

David shares how 20+ years running a marketing and communications agency shaped HILO's obsession with partnership, service, and genuine tenant engagement. From launching right before the pandemic to scaling a platform that helps owners and operators deliver hospitality-driven workplace experiences, David's journey is a masterclass in building with purpose.

Together, Ryan and David dig into what tenants actually value (hint: it's not the fancy fitness center), why PropTech can't be a checkbox, and how HILO's collaborative approach to sales and customer success is turning heads in one of the world's oldest asset classes.

David also hosts TEN, the Tenant Experience Network, where he brings together leading CRE voices on the future of work and his vision for buildings that don't just support businesses, but help people truly thrive.

How a founder with no real estate experience built a vertically integrated platform now powering the future of multifamily living.

A conversation on bootstrapping, resident expectations, and why the best PropTech founders stay close to customers.

In this Founder Series episode, Ryan Elazari sits down with Konrad Koczwara, Founder and CEO of ElevateOS, to explore how he went from complete industry outsider to building the overtically integrated resident experience platform in multifamily real estate.

Konrad shares why he bootstrapped ElevateOS without outside capital, how his Polish roots shaped his relentless work ethic, and why he stays deeply involved in sales and customer relationships as the company scales.

The discussion covers the evolution of resident expectations, why today's renters demand hotel-like experiences, how AI is transforming multifamily technology, and strategies for generating revenue beyond rent. Konrad also reflects on co-chairing the Emerging Leaders program at RETTC and why integrated tech stacks matter for onsite teams managing disconnected platforms.
