In Conversation: Technology & Innovation in Developments | Point of View


Technology only delivers value when buildings are designed to support it.

In this Point of View conversation, Michael Tsourounis, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, and Michael Williams, Managing Partner and Head of Real Estate Development, explore why technology, flexibility, and adaptability must be embedded into purpose-built rental projects from the earliest stages of design.

From in-suite infrastructure to shared amenities and building operations, the conversation underscores a critical principle: innovation should never be an afterthought. When buildings are planned years before occupancy, design decisions must anticipate evolving resident needs, emerging technologies, and long-term operational efficiency.

The goal is not innovation for its own sake, but the creation of resilient assets — buildings that can evolve over decades, operate efficiently, and continue delivering value across market cycles.
