The Future of European Real Estate: ESG, Mixed-Use Growth, Flight to Quality & the New Office Standard
In this Paris special of Bricks & More, host Adrian Strittmatter sits down with Marc Fauchille, a senior executive at LaSalle Investment Management, to explore the rapidly evolving European real estate landscape and what it takes to create value in todayâs market.
Marc emphasises that traditional value drivers (location, quality) are insufficient. Adaptability, sustainability, and tenant experience now shape European investment and development. Post-COVID, occupier expectations shifted permanently, increasing demand for flexible workspaces, strong ESG performance, and digitally enabled buildings. The discussion also focuses on the ongoing "flight to quality," where investors and tenants prioritise best-in-class assets in core European cities like Paris.
Adrian and Marc also explore:
- Why adaptability and tenant experience now matter as much as location
- The long-term impact of hybrid work on office design and demand
- How ESG has become a core requirement for attracting capital and occupiers
- The rise of mixed-use developments blending office, retail, and residential space
- Why prime European cities continue to outperform secondary markets
- How digital infrastructure is reshaping expectations of modern buildings
Marc grounds these themes with a detailed case study: BergĂšre Paris, a LaSalle Investment Management refurbishment. He details how the project combined heritage architecture with modern sustainability, smart systems, wellness amenities, and flexible offices to create a future-ready Paris workspace. This acts as an example of repositioning existing assets over new development, demonstrating how thoughtful redevelopment unlocks long-term value and attracts high-quality tenants.
Throughout the episode, Adrian and Marc reflect on what these shifts mean for investors, developers, and occupiers navigating an increasingly complex market. Tune in to discover a clear view of how European real estate is being reshaped by ESG, technology, and changing workplace expectations and what it takes to stay ahead.

The Future of European Offices: ESG, Hybrid Work & the Flight to Quality
In this Paris special episode of Bricks & More, host Adrian Strittmatter sits down with Emilie Jaskula, Head of European Real Estate Research at BNP Paribas Asset Management, to explore the rapidly evolving European office market and the forces reshaping real estate investment across the continent.
Drawing on nearly 20 years of experience, Emilie breaks down how macroeconomic shifts (including rising interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical uncertainty) have fundamentally altered office market dynamics. She also explains how the post-pandemic shift to hybrid and remote work has forced landlords and investors to rethink traditional office strategies and reposition assets around flexibility, experience, and long-term resilience.
Adrian and Emilie also explore:
- The long-term impact of hybrid and remote work on office demand
- Why ESG has become a core driver of value, not just a compliance exercise
- The shift from a traditional B2B leasing model to a more tenant-focused, B2C mindset
- The growing polarisation between prime assets and secondary/tertiary offices
- The risks of obsolescence in outdated, inefficient buildings
- How digitalisation and smart building technologies are reshaping asset management and performance
Emilie also highlights the continued strength of prime offices in key European cities such as Paris, London, and Frankfurt, where demand remains resilient for high-quality, well-located, and future-proofed space. She discusses how landlords are now expected to deliver more than just square metres; prioritising wellness, community, sustainability, and user experience.
Despite ongoing disruption, Emilie challenges the âoffice is deadâ narrative, arguing that offices remain essential but are becoming more selective, experience-driven, and performance-focused than ever before.
Tune in to discover how Europeâs office market is being reshaped by ESG, technology, and changing work patterns and what it takes to succeed in the next era of real estate investment.

In this episode of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter is joined by Brian DeâAth, Managing Director of Sales & Marketing at Ballymore, to unpack what real value creation looks like in residential real estate â beyond pricing models, amenities arms races, and short-term gains.
At the heart of the conversation is Embassy Gardens and its final chapter, The Capston â a 21-year regeneration journey that reframes value not as a number to be maximised, but as a place to be perfected.
Key talking points:
đïž Why the best developments donât start with price â they start with âthe best place to liveâ
đ§ How buyer value has shifted from calculators to emotional conviction and lived experience
đ Why art, culture, and storytelling only work when theyâre authentic â not decorative
đȘ How overlooked details (like lift cars, circulation, and arrival moments) quietly drive long-term value
đ€ Why trust, honesty, and human connection matter more than ever in selling off-plan
đ What Londonâs stalled pipeline really means â and why scarcity will reshape future value
If youâre interested in how bold vision, obsessive execution, and long-term thinking turn developments into destinations â this episode is a masterclass in how value is felt, not just calculated.

In this episode of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter sits down with Tareq Fontane, SVP Investment Management at Kingdom Hotel Investments, to unpack what it really takes to generate long-term value in luxury hospitality.
From stewarding icons like The Savoy in London and HĂŽtel George V in Paris, Tareq offers a rare ownerâoperator perspective on how brand legacy, financial performance, governance, and guest experience must work in lockstep.
The conversation goes beyond design and prestige to explore the hard decisions behind renovations, pricing strategy, service culture, ESG, and why short-term cost cutting can quietly destroy long-term asset value. At its core, this is a masterclass in treating landmark hotels not as static assets, but as living brands that demand constant discipline, investment, and care.
Key talking points:
đïž Why landmark hotels require stewardship, not just asset management
đ The delicate balance between short-term returns and long-term value creation
đïž How service culture and employee investment directly protect brand equity
đž Why cutting costs in luxury hospitality can be far more expensive than it looks
đ§ What post-COVID demand shifts reveal about pricing power, experience, and time as the ultimate luxury
If you think luxury hotels are about marble, Michelin stars, and Instagram moments, this episode will challenge you to see them for what they really are: complex, high-stakes businesses where value is earned every single day.

In the third of our âDubai Specialâ episodes of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter is joined by Dan Von Barloewen and Lindsay McGinn from Accor One Living to unpack one of the fastest-growing â and most misunderstood â frontiers in global real estate: branded residences and mixed-use living.
The episode challenges the idea that value is created at the point of sale. Instead, it reframes branded residences as living ecosystems where value is generated through day-to-day operations, brand authenticity, resale performance, and lifelong relationships with residents.
Key talking points:
đïž Why branded residences succeed (or fail) based on service, governance, and long-term commitment â not branding alone
đ·ïž The difference between a âlabelled residenceâ and a truly hospitality-led branded home
đ How demographic insight, psychographics, and local culture determine the right brand for the right place
đ Why resale premiums, homeowner satisfaction, and operational discipline matter more than launch-day price uplifts
đ How wellness, longevity, community programming, and global brand ecosystems are reshaping residential demand
đ Whatâs next: build-to-rent, private membersâ clubs, yachts, and new models of lifestyle-driven investment
If you think branded residences are just about luxury positioning â or if youâre curious how hospitality thinking can future-proof real estate assets â this episode offers a masterclass in how value is really generated, protected, and sustained.

In the second episode of our Dubai Special, Adrian Strittmatter is joined by Zeeshaan Shah â entrepreneur, founder & chairman of The One Group â to explore how visionary leadership and a human-centred philosophy can unlock extraordinary real estate value.
From selling mobile phone contracts as a student to shaping $2.5B of projects worldwide, Zeeshaan shares how his guiding belief has never changed: real estate should improve peopleâs lives. That means creating destinations that feel like mini city-states â safe, social, lifestyle-focused places with community, convenience and genuine hospitality at their core.
In a world where expectations have shifted post-COVID, and where safety, tax certainty and lifestyle are driving global demand, Zeeshaan argues that the real opportunity lies in designing for how people want to live, not just what can be built.
Key talking points:
đïž Why the most powerful definition of value is simple: solve real problems
đ How tiny design decisions â orientation, views, access, flow â create compounding value
đïž Why luxury today is less about marble and gold, and more about hospitality-grade living
đ How political polarisation, safety and tax regimes are reshaping where people choose to live
đ„ Why community and wellbeing are now the real drivers of demand
đĄ How management after handover is where long-term value is either protected or lost
If you think real estate is about floor plans and finishes â or if youâre serious about building places that are healthier, happier and more valuable â this episode will make you rethink how value is created.

Together, Adrian and Mark explore how lifestyle brands evolve, how residents become ambassadors, why some markets respond differently to design cues, and whatâs next for branded living as technology, service, and culture collide.
Key talking points:
âš Why branded residences work when design, service and community all pull in the same direction
đïž How âsense of placeâ becomes a commercial lever, not just a design flourish
đ§ The amenity space race â and why smarter, flexible spaces beat bloated service charges
đ€ How global brands localise through storytelling, cultural programming and community integration
đĄ Why the future of âresidentialâ is actually âlivingâ: mixed-use, lifestyle-led and emotionally resonant

In this insightful episode of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter sits down with Henry Lumby, Chief Commercial Officer at Auriens, to explore one of real estateâs most untapped frontiers: later living.
As populations age and expectations evolve, Henry argues that the UKâs senior living market is lagging far behind its peers â not because of lack of demand, but because of outdated models and limited imagination.
He makes a compelling case for treating later living not as care, but as lifestyle infrastructure â blending hospitality, wellness, and community to unlock long-term social and investor value.

đĄ Why later living could outscale both build-to-rent and student housing combined
