There has been a lot of media attention covering supply chain delays, increased materials costs and other impacts the pandemic is having on the development industry.  We were excited to have D'Arcy Brown of Enright Capital join us to discuss how active developments in YYC are being impacted.  D'Arcy helps us understand how he and the team at Enright have adapted and remained competitive with active and future development projects underway.  Enright has celebrated recent successes with completed developments as well as announcing new projects.

We had a great time reconnecting with Brock Ryan, Senior Director Property Tax at Altus Group for an update on property taxes across office, industrial, retail, hotel, and multifamily asset classes in Calgary.  We also discuss the platforms of a few front running mayoral candidates with regards to taxes and possible policy impacts.

Brock, as always, offers colourful, candid commentary.  Great information for our tenant, landlord and broker listeners.

We were thrilled to interview Calgary entrepreneur, Joanne Young, for this episode as we explored the benefits of greenery within office settings and discussed some of the trends she's seeing in the interior landscaping industry.  Greenery is an important consideration as businesses focus in on fitting out inspiring, healthy workplaces. 

Joanne founded Greenery Office Interiors in 1977 and built an award winning plantscaping firm providing interior plant design and plant rental services to Calgary businesses.  Thanks for joining us Joanne!

Happy listening :)
