QuadReal Property Group: A Visionary Real Estate Firm Whose Senior Executives Have Embraced Innovation, Technology and a 21st Century Strategy!
Date: 6/15/2022 Location: Valencia A
Every once in a while, a commercial real estate firm emerges that defines a new set of rules rather than follow the old ones. The built environment, by its very nature, needs to change with the times in order to stay relevant and more important, profitable. Historically, we have seen real estate change right before our eyes as recently evidenced by the acceleration that the pandemic has had on the changes to office, retail, industrial and multifamily buildings.
QuadReal Property Group, a Canadian based international real estate organization founded in 2016, has over $67 billion in assets under management, with 1,200+ employee. They are considered one of the most innovative real estate companies not by words but actions. While many firms speak of digital transformation, QuadReal’s senior executives have made it an integral part of their overall strategy.
We will hear from a group of senior executives who will talk about the creation of the digitally influenced strategy, executive leadership buy in and involvement, integration into all business units, assembling the right internal and external teams, and finally, the business success that has resulted from their innovative approach.

Lake Nona, Florida: Creating A Digital District Reaching into the Future!
Date: 6/16/2022 Location: Valencia A
The idea of smart buildings and cities has been around for over 70 years. Ironically, the first attempt at creating a futuristic city happened just 20 minutes away from Lake Nona at EPCOT, Walt Disney’s Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. In addition to EPCOT, Disney was also experimenting with other early visionary ideas such as monorail transportation, prefabricated construction at the Contemporary Hotel as well as other innovative ideas. It is one thing do attempt one smart building and quite another to develop what people are calling a smart district. It is larger than a campus and smaller than a city, but just big enough to try innovative ideas at scale.
Dubbed “A Community of and for the Future,” Lake Nona is an example of one of the most advanced digital districts in the United States if not the world. With over 17 square miles, this community is poised to rethink how we live work and play in the future. Some of the differentiating innovations include a robust and comprehensive telecommunications strategy which includes both fixed and wireless technologies; a world class autonomous vehicle testing lab; the Wave Hotel, one of the most advanced hotels in the world; and the Whit House, a look into tomorrow’s home and much more.
While many would argue that the technology is in place to create a more futuristic live, work, learn and play community, it is not always as easy as one would expect. Apart from defining the correct strategy, engaging the right partners and choosing the appropriate technology, developing an organization that is in sync with an overall vision and aligning all aspects of the company with that vision is critical.
Tavistock is a unique developer that fully understands what is required to bring a project like Lake Nona to reality. Lake Nona’s advanced infrastructure and commitment to collaboration have attracted global visionary companies and startups, such as View, to turn cutting-edge ideas into realities. Senior executives will provide an overview of this groundbreaking project, outlining the vision, describing the features and technology of this forward-thinking community as well as the challenges encountered when delivering innovation at this type of scale.

A Conversation with Jim Whalen – A Longstanding Leader in Real Estate Technology!
Date: 6/16/2022 Location: Valencia A
Technology has had more impact on our lives in the last 50 years than any other factor. Computers, the internet and mobile technology have fundamentally changed our lives. This holds especially true for the built environment. Those called to support the technology required to operate real estate in an efficient, safe and engaging manner are a special breed. Long gone are the days of only managing e-mail and accounting systems! There are a rare few that rise to the top of any profession. Those leaders are visionary, good communicators, open to risk, focus on the business and are accepted as peers by senior leadership. We are fortunate to welcome Jim Whalen, one of our respected technology executives.
