    #37 Brad Dockser: Sustainability and Institutional Real Estate at Scale

    In this episode of Infinity Podcast, Zeus Hernandez sits down with Brad Dockser, founder and CEO of GreenGen, a sustainability implementation platform helping real estate owners and investors execute energy, carbon, and climate strategies across global portfolios. Brad began his career in traditional real estate investment and capital markets before pivoting toward sustainability following the Global Financial Crisis, when energy management and operating efficiency emerged as critical drivers of asset performance. Today, through GreenGen, he works at the intersection of real estate, climate policy, capital markets, and technology - translating sustainability goals into executable, financeable real estate strategies. Together, they explore how sustainability in real estate has evolved from a voluntary initiative into a regulated, capital-driven transformation shaped by local laws, investor mandates, and rising energy costs. The conversation unpacks how policies like New York’s Local Law 97 are reshaping underwriting and portfolio strategy, why capital markets are essential for scaling climate action in the built environment, and how integrated PropTech and AI solutions are enabling real estate owners to operationalize decarbonization across assets. The discussion also examines the business model innovation required to scale sustainability implementation globally, the growing adoption of climate-aligned real estate practices in Latin America, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration among owners, investors, regulators, and technology providers. Brad shares insights from building GreenGen as an end-to-end sustainability execution platform and offers perspective on how real estate organizations can move beyond sustainability commitments toward measurable performance outcomes. We discuss: • Brad’s transition from traditional real estate investing to sustainability leadership • The founding and evolution of GreenGen’s end-to-end implementation model • How local regulations like NYC Local Law 97 are reshaping real estate strategy • The role of capital markets in financing decarbonization and energy efficiency • Rising energy costs and the improving ROI of sustainability investments • Integrating AI and PropTech into portfolio-level climate execution • Business model innovation for scaling sustainability across portfolios • Emerging sustainability adoption across Latin American real estate markets • Collaboration across sectors to accelerate climate impact in the built environment • Advice for building durable sustainability platforms Whether you’re a developer, investor, operator, or policymaker navigating climate risk and decarbonization in real estate, this episode offers a strategic view of how regulation, capital, and technology are converging to reshape the economics of the built environment.

    #36 John Citrigno: The Yin & Yang of Multifamily Development

    In this episode of Infinity Podcast, Zeus Hernandez sits down with John Citrigno, a veteran real estate investor, developer, and capital markets leader with more than three decades of experience spanning brokerage, institutional multifamily, private lending, and ground-up development. John is the Managing Partner of Cirius Partners, a closely held real estate investment platform composed of long-time high-net-worth partners, and the Principal of Cirius Green Development, where his work is focused on what he calls Housing 2.0: high-performance, energy-efficient, design-forward multifamily projects in select urban infill markets. Together, they explore the development philosophy behind Cirius’ Bankers Hill (Park West) project in San Diego and unpack how experienced sponsors balance downside protection with upside creation through what John describes as the Yin & Yang of multifamily development. The conversation examines why sustainability is not a branding layer but a governing economic principle, how higher-quality capital expenditures compress operating costs and reduce risk, and why long-term value in multifamily is ultimately created through resident experience and turnover reduction rather than rent maximization alone. The discussion also dives deep into Yield-on-Cost (one of the most misunderstood metrics in development underwriting), clarifying the difference between untrended and stabilized YOC and why institutional thresholds often misprice high-barrier coastal markets like San Diego. John shares candid insights into investor behavior, sponsor credibility, and the realities of capital alignment in today’s multifamily environment, along with his long-term outlook on San Diego as one of the most structurally resilient rental markets in the United States. We discuss:  • John’s evolution across brokerage, capital markets, and development  • The Housing 2.0 framework and design-driven multifamily strategy  • The Yin & Yang philosophy: balancing affordability with luxury and performance  • Sustainability as an economic driver of NOI durability and asset resilience  • Yield-on-Cost: untrended vs stabilized and institutional underwriting realities  • Investor priorities: trust, alignment, and sponsor credibility  • Resident experience and turnover as the core drivers of value creation  • Why San Diego remains one of the strongest long-term multifamily markets  • Advice for emerging developers building durable platforms Whether you’re a developer, investor, or operator navigating urban multifamily in high-cost markets, this episode offers a grounded, real-world look at how experienced sponsors structure, design, and capitalize projects for long-term performance across cycles.
