The race to drive down carbon emissions is on, which means renewable energy projects such as wind and solar farms are surging. But they can often be a source of contention among rural landholders, whose properties make the ideal location for renewables infrastructure. So what compensation is available to landowners, and how is it being negotiated?
JLL Perpsectives podcast host Rebecca Kent speaks to Will Gurry, head of agribusiness valuations - Australia, JLL; Larry Susskind, professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and vice chair of the negotiation program at Harvard Law School; and Jamahl Waddington, head of infrastructure advisory - Australia, JLL.

The growing performance gap between new buildings with a high sustainability and experience offering, and ageing offices, is both the biggest opportunity and the biggest problem facing real estate investors right now.
Some buildings located outside main cities are increasingly being overlooked by companies trying to attract workers into central offices and are worth more if sold empty.
Meanwhile, well-located offices with great amenities are massively outperforming.

Retail real estate, student accommodation, and the hotels and hospitality sector took a hit during the COVID pandemic. But less than five years on, their comeback journeys are defying expectations.
Respected real estate analyst and commentator Andrew Ballantyne speaks to Perspectives podcast host Rebecca Kent about what has been driving the rebound of what were real estate's most challenged asset classes.
He also dives into the industry's most polarising sector: offices. Plus, find out why real estate investment volumes have come to be at their lowest level since 2012.

Host Rebecca Kent checks in with JLL's head of research for Australia and New Zealand, Andrew Ballantyne for a download of what JLL's half-year data tells us about the state of real estate.
Business's sustainability requirements are driving a huge desirability gap between new and upgraded buildings and those that have had less attention. Meanwhile, most investors are sitting tight as they make new discoveries about the price of their real estate assets.
Also, considering cost-of-living pressures, consumers are still spending and retail is fairing better than you might think. Could mortgage stress really be that bad?

JLL, the global real estate services firm, recently moved its central Sydney operations to a new office at the Lendlease-owned Salesforce Tower. The office is everything research says workplaces need to be: it’s hospitality-driven, sustainable, flexible, tech-enabled, it encourages collaboration, plus there’s barista-made coffee, beer on tap and views to die for.
In this episode, Christina Khoo, who designed the premium space, chats to Rebecca Kent about how the office is being received, and the pressure of designing a new workplace for your own colleagues – and your boss.
