Ep. 10: The Ongoing Search for Technological Solutions to Increase Productivity, Transparency, and Efficiency - Jeff Toporek - Co-Founder & Principal of FD Stonewater


Listen Later

On today’s episode, I sit down with Jeff Toporek, co-founder and principal of FD Stonewater, a boutique development, investment, brokerage, and asset management firm. As a leader in the firm’s investment and asset management platforms, Jeff focuses his entrepreneurial energies on creating value from every angle of a transaction, including property operations, leasing, portfolio and risk management, and capital markets execution. 


During our conversation, we discuss how FD Stonewater approaches single-tenant assets, how they’re using technology to drive greater efficiency, and his search for the Holy Grail of dashboards.


Let’s get into it.
