    Episode #5 – Talking to Piotr Staniszewski: From Dungeons and Dragons to data centers and construction / planning

    How do you best resolve a complicated project? Maybe it’s as simple as to “step a little bit outside of your comfort zone and find out what lies there” and, most importantly, to “listen to our children.” In this fifth episode, we get to know Piotr and his views on ESG—specifically how to incorporate it into data centers and construction/planning. Piotr shares with us what led him to becoming a real estate and construction lawyer, and how he approaches development projects and data centers in particular. He shares his experience on how the industry has been evolving, especially how ESG requirements are part of this process. “I think that the biggest challenge is understanding the zero emission target—that we can prepare the buildings we are building today to be carbon neutral in the future, as well as understanding what technological and organizational steps can be taken now with respect to both future and existing buildings.”

    Episode #4 – Talking to Raphael Thießen – brownfield development and the myth of land scarcity

    Brownfield developments may be a more difficult development at first sight—so, is there an alternative to tackling these challenges when we look at the broader picture? Perhaps “… we need to change our process of thinking, and that is something we are still not yet doing.” In this fourth episode, we get to know Raphael and his views on ESG and specifically, brownfield development. Raphael shares with us why he finds his role in shaping brownfield developments such a good fit and what is important to consider for brownfield developments. He discusses current and upcoming projects of the German Brownfield Association and of other market participants. He adds that brownfield development is not a topic for one country alone, but a global topic. … “You need to see the chances that these kind of locations have for not only—let’s say, industry, but also for housing, and that makes it so interesting, because they always have—or most likely have—good locations. And there are so many things you can make out of these locations.”
