In light of this, the topic of people development has become a high priority for the industry. 


In this episode of The Changemakers in CRE, Darren Krakowiak, Founder of CRE Success, talks about working with commercial real estate leaders to develop their people and grow their businesses.

Coworking is nothing new. In fact, the first ever coworking space was built way back in 2005 but it took a while before really gaining traction. Today, coworking has been deemed a priority for anyone who owns or manages an office building - and it’s making its way to the suburbs. 

In this episode of The ChangeMakers in CRE, we chat to Sheree McIntyre, Founder & CEO of Coworking Counsel. Sheree has spent the last 20 years as a leader in the coworking and flex space arena with some of the largest global coworking operators.

She has launched Coworking Counsel to offer specialised coworking consultation services to commercial landlords, developers and asset managers wanting to provide coworking spaces in their buildings.

The retail sector has been one of the hardest hit in commercial real estate in recent years. First, there was the rise of eCommerce as customers flocked to online stores.

Rebeca is the Group Head of Retail Strategy at Chelsfield, a leading international real estate company focused on asset management, development and investment. She is also one of the retail sector’s leading voices and minds helping to shape its new era.
