Build, Buy, or Partner – Takeaways from Commercial Landlords at CREtech San Francisco

Coming to you live from the lobby of my hotel in San Francisco, a day after another great event by Michael Beckerman and the team at CREtech. It's been a whirlwind week – it was great to catch up with folks and we met so many new faces throughout the week and at our booth.

Now, I was only able to catch one panel at CREtech due to some intense traffic at our booth, but I picked up on a trend that I want to share with you here:

Landlords at CREtech are opting to partner with tech companies, instead of wasting time or money buying or building their own tech.

The second panel of the event had top landlords talking tech, featuring moderator Jak Churton, Managing Director at JLL, Breton Birkhofer, Innovation Lead at Prologis, Josh Raffaelli, Managing Director at Brookfield Ventures, Matt Griffin, SVP at Kilroy Realty Corporation, and Ryan Salvas, VP of Real Estate Technology & Innovation at EQ Office.
