The race to lease Austin's high-end apartment projects continues to be driven by amenities over space, according to a panel at Bisnow's Future of Multifamily event in Austin Tuesday.

5 Ways The Workplace Will Change Forever And How To Survive
How the rise of the nomadic creative class will transform where, when and how we work. Physical offices have always defined the working experience. But with the rise of mobile technology and the sharing economy, the tables have turned. A growing millennial workforce has shattered the traditional model of assigned desks and the nine-to-five. People can work from anywhere, at any time, and that has commercial landlords rethinking asset ownership.
Offices of the future will need to be community gathering spaces, places where companies can attract and develop talent. Buildings will become smarter, integrating with personal devices to anticipate user demand.

How Canada Edged Out China To Reclaim The Top Spot For U.S. CRE Investment
Size may indeed matter in explaining how Canada became the top global investor in the U.S. property market.
Canadian investment in U.S. real estate amounted to $5.2B in acquisitions in the first half of 2017, or 30% of the total global foreign investment, according to a recent report from JLL. Over that same period, second place China tallied $3.6B (21%) in U.S. acquisitions.
