Finding the Heart and Soul of Commercial Real Estate

 

On a very special episode of Business Casual, Daniel Litwin and Tyler Kern sit down with Kirk Williams and Jeff Maguire of Cypress Equities to discuss the current state of commercial real estate.

They discussed the importance of knowing the culture and customs of the location where you’re building and why incorporating art into their projects transforms them.

You’ll also hear a little about 13th century architects in Spain, what they’re learning from millennials, and how they strive to maintain the collective soul of a community.

Tune in to Business Casual, MarketScale’s live radio broadcast, every Wednesday and Friday at 8 a.m. CST.
