How To Choose Amenities Part 6, Fitness Center Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

This is the final segment in our mini series on amenities. Last week we started a mini-series on Amenities. The deep dive into amenities is based on the outstanding work by apartment operator Greystar, the largest operator of apartments in the US with over 100,000 apartments in their portfolio. We are working with Greystar on our own active adult project in Spokane Washington. If you want to learn more about that amazing project, come and register to our portal at YStreetCapital.com and we will have more to share about the project. This is not a solicitation for investment and of course any investment would be by prospectus only in compliance with SEC regulations.

We spoke last week about technology, storage, co-working space, outdoor amenities, kitchens, and security.

Today we’re talking about fitness centers.

How To Choose Amenities Part 5 - Package Delivery Jan 27, 2026

Last week we started a mini-series on Amenities.

We spoke last week about technology, storage, co-working space, outdoor amenities, kitchens, and security.

Today we’re talking about packages. Not financing packages, not incentive packages, but the literal boxes showing up at the front door every single day, and what they’re quietly telling us about resident behavior, operational risk, and capital allocation in multifamily real estate.

The data comes from Greystar’s 2024 design survey, specifically focused on package delivery and handling inside apartment communities. On the surface, this looks like a narrow operational topic. But as with many things in real estate, when you zoom out, it reveals something much bigger about how people live and what they value.

How To Choose Amenities Part 2 - Tech and Security Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Last week we started a mini-series on Amenities. We took a short break from the mini-series to cover a few consequential items from the World Economic Forum which is still underway in Davos. They’re probably still more that we could be covering from Davos, but there are only so many things you can cover in a daily show. After all, this is not my full-time job.

The deep dive into amenities is was based on the outstanding work by apartment owner and operator Greystar, the largest operator of apartments in the US with over 100,000 apartments in their portfolio. We are working with Greystar on our own active adult project in Spokane Washington. If you want to learn more about that amazing project, come and register to our portal at Y Street Capital and we will have more to share about the project. This is not a solicitation for investment and of course any investment would be by prospectus only in compliance with SEC regulations.

Greystar recently published their latest amenities and apartment features market study, based on year-over-year survey data from 2023 to 2024.

On Friday last week we talked about the overall trends in amenities. On today’s show we are going deep into one aspect and over the next several days we will cover storage, technology, securitykitchens, social space, fitness, e-commerce, and parking.

Today we’re going to cover storage, security and technology packages and what is expected in new modern buildings.

10 Days That Changed The World Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

A new groundbreaking capability was conceived, developed, and released to the world in 10 days. Yes, you heard that correctly.

10 days can change the world. That sounds like some historic platitude. What I’m referring to is a new software application that was introduced only a few days ago. That’s software application which runs on the Mac was developed from concept to release in the wild in 10 days. Let that sink in for a moment. Inside most companies, you would have trouble getting the marketing focus group to get together and convene a meeting to discuss the future content for the release of a software application may be sometime next year. The application I’m talking about is Claude Cowork from anthropic. Yes, it is an AI application. This is a Real Estate Investing podcast. So stay with me. We’re not here to talk about AI. We are here to talk about the impact of this software application on your Real Estate Investing business.

This Year In Davos Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

Each year, the World Economic Forum convenes political leaders, central bankers, corporate executives, and institutional investors to take the pulse of the global economy. The headlines that come out of Davos often feel abstract, even theatrical. But buried beneath the sound bites are themes that matter deeply to real estate investors, especially those who think like capital allocators rather than speculators.

This year’s forum is dominated by a sober tone. Gone was the optimism of a rapid post-pandemic recovery. In its place was a recognition that the world is settling into a period of structural change rather than cyclical volatility. That distinction matters, because structural change reshapes how capital flows, how risk is priced, and where real assets fit in a portfolio.
