TRECcast

On this episode of TRECcast, we’re kicking off our “Technology of Placemaking” series! Over the next two weeks, we’ll be interviewing the panelists from our April 3 Bank of Texas Speaker Series: The Technology of Placemaking about the rise of tech in building management, from coworking spaces and efficient IT support and internet connectivity, to one-stop-shop services for tenant and building needs, and how big data fits into the future of commercial real estate.

Our first interview is with Elie Finegold, a venture advisor to Metaprop and our “Technology of Placemaking” moderator! Finegold opened the luncheon with a presentation on his concept of “transportation as a service,” from his paper, “Our Frictionless Future.” We chat about how transportation is evolving and the impact it will continue to have on how companies do business.

Here’s the schedule for our “Technology of Placemaking” interviews:

• April 17: Industrious National Launch Manager Leah Alexander

• April 22: Equiem CEO Gabrielle McMillan

Leinberger recently headlined our first Bank of Texas Speaker Series event of the year in which he debuted his WalkUP Wake-Up study on urban walkability in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The study argues that while Dallas has been among the nation’s leaders in drivable suburban city planning, it must begin to pivot more toward walkable urban developments to meet current and future market demands.

On this edition of TRECcast, we sit down with BOKA Powell Principal-in-Charge Don Powell! This is the final episode of our ‘Transportation Revolution’ podcast series, also sponsored by BOKA Powell, and we talked about the effects that emerging transportation technologies will have on parking. We covered topics like gauging parking requirements for forthcoming real estate developments, whether DFW already has too much parking in commercial developments, and how tomorrow’s transportation needs have caused developers to rethink their parking strategies.

Don launched the firm now known as BOKA Powell more than four decades ago and has helped plan and design more than 35 million square feet of architecture and interiors in his career. Having grown up in a family of builders and working on commercial construction projects by age 13, Don is a real estate lifer. He maintains the best design solutions come from a thorough understanding of the problem and allowing that clarity to drive the process.
