Real Estate Impacts from CES 2025 Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

Every year in early January there is the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. This multi-day event showcases the latest in technology. Many tech companies showcase products that are still at the experimental stage and not necessarily available for purchase at your local electronics store.

This year I would say that the defining word for CES is AI. You will often find a theme prevalent at CES in any given year. In past years, the defining themes were things like Web 2.0, which nobody even talks about anymore. Some things seem to endure past CES, and then others fade into oblivion.

Designing Active Adult Communities Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

On today’s show we are talking about the elements that distinguish an active adult apartment complex from a generic market rate apartment.

There is a progression in housing options as adults get older. There is a high proportion of older adults who are single and these people lack a sense of community and lack connection. This is one of the biggest social problems in our western culture. The amount of time being spent online has served to further amplify that isolation.

Most of senior housing has focused on physical and medical needs starting with independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing.

When people downsize from a detached single family home, they usually move into something that is lower maintenance. That means an apartment or a condo where the building maintenance is professionally managed.

Just moving into a well appointed apartment doesn’t meet the needs. So there’s a gap and that gap is being filled by a category of apartment which the industry calls “active adult”. The very first active adult communities consisted of age restricted single family home communities with communal amenities. More recently, that has evolved to incorporate purpose built apartments for this market segment. There’s not much of it. There are only about 73,000 units of active adult in the entire USA. That’s a drop in the bucket.

Is Virtual Real Estate Dead? Jan 06, 2025

Show notes

Back in January of 2022 I reported on the growth of virtual real estate. Facebook has changed its name to Meta only a few months earlier. Metaverse technologies were capturing headlines. But strangely I heard no talk of virtual reality at the street level.

In the past few months, several companies have written down their investments in virtual reality. This includes Exp Realty, Microsoft, Disney and yes, Meta.

Why Would A Data Center Come To Your Neighborhood? Jan 03, 2025

Show notes

On today’s show we are looking at what might be the economic drivers for the construction of new data centres.

Data centres are a very capital intensive business. They consume a lot of land, electricity, water, and of course the hardware software and climate control equipment. They burden the local electric utility with a lot of demand and they don’t contribute very much to a city’s vibrancy. Nobody goes on a Sunday afternoon drive to look at the data center.

Apart from the fact that you have access to artificial intelligence applications from OpenAI and Google and Amazon and countless others, the data center doesn’t contribute to the community in a visible way. These applications are in the cloud and therefore their location is largely invisible.

A data center owner is looking for a few key elements.

excellent optical fibre connectivity with redundant networks and multiple physical paths. This way a network outage does not represent a single point of failure.
Adequate land and zoning at a reasonable price with a favourable property tax rate
Plentiful and inexpensive electricity where the electric grid has redundant pathways which will make the data center more tolerant to local power outages.
Access to a skilled talent pool or operate and maintain the data center.
