MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

Best way to keep a competitive edge?
We are designing our buildings to appeal to the millenials, the fastest-growing segment of the workforce. They want a collaborative workplace. They also want to be in an urban environment that's amenity-rich, with a diversity of housing. They want walkable, vibrant, transit-served communities. An increasing number prefer to bike rather than drive, so we build bicycle storage with adjacent shower rooms in all of our buildings.

Why do people like working for you?
The company is really a meritocracy. It's all about the talent and the teamwork. Nothing is possible without that team.

JUDGMENT CALLS

What do you like best about your job?
I love the buildings we've bought. In many cases, we're taking over older buildings and making them world-class. That's one form of sustainability: recycling older buildings.

What do you like least about your job?
Spending time in airplanes and airports. They've lost track of what it is to provide good service to the consumer.

What’s your first choice of a new career?
I'd be a professional cyclist (laughs). It really connects you with nature.
