  • Around 80% of the buildings that will be standing in 2050 have already been built. So how can we make these existing structures more sustainable, energy-efficient and suitable for modern-day tenants? 

    That's where the concept of ‘brown to green’ comes in. Transforming outdated, inefficient buildings into environmentally friendly, energy-efficient structures that meet the demands of today and the future.

    In this PAT Cast episode, we explore why companies should be pursuing brown-to-green strategies, the steps involved in decarbonising existing buildings, and how brown to green stacks up when it comes to return on investment. 

    Your host is Andrew Belt and on the panel we have:

    Paul White, Founding Director of architectural practice, Buckley Gray Yeoman (BGY)
    Daniel Williams, PATRIZIA Head of Real Estate Development UK & Ireland

  • The workplace is evolving at a rapid pace, with hybrid and flexible working now the new normal. As a result, the role and design of office spaces are undergoing a dramatic transformation. So, what does this mean for investors?

    PAT Perspectives is the podcast where we ask our guests five simple questions on one topic or trend impacting the real assets sector.

    In this episode, we hear from Saskia Roosen - Head of Asset Management BeLux at PATRIZIA - on what the future of office space looks like.

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way businesses operate. From automating routine tasks and processes to increased productivity, AI can free human workers to focus on creativity and problem-solving.

    Research by Amazon Web Services suggests more than one in three European firms adopted AI in 2023 - bringing the continent closer to the 2030 Digital Decade vision presented by the European Commission in 2021. But where does the real estate industry sit in this landscape? And how can businesses within real estate ensure that they don’t fall behind competitors in the sector?

    In this episode, we explore how AI could help boost the real estate industry and why companies need to seriously consider adopting AI into their workforce sooner rather than later. We also hear how the Data Intelligence team at PATRIZIA has been using AI to support the company, as well as some of the challenges that come with these new technologies, and learn more about a genAI company supporting real estate firms.

  • So far, 2024 has been the year of transition. European countries and the UK are slowly recovering from unprecedented shocks in the previous years – a global pandemic, economic crisis, foreign wars linked to supply issues, a record number of elections. As we have reached the midpoint of 2024, it’s time to take a closer look at the current economic and financial situation, and try to understand what lies ahead. 

    In this episode, we examine what impact these shocks have had on the Euro zone and UK economies, and what the political responses have led to. We look at the state of key segments of the real estate market, from residential sectors to offices, and what markets remain great investments for the rest of the year and beyond. And hear how we can future proof allocations and portfolios.

  • With tenants increasingly desiring sustainable buildings, governments adopting legally binding net-zero carbon targets, and rising concerns around embodied carbon, decarbonising our building stock is essential - and the risks of not taking action are immense.

    In this episode, we explore how decarbonisation programmes can protect or enhance the future value of an asset, how adopting a sustainable approach can help avoid stranding risks or erosions in value known as ‘brown discounts’, and why, ultimately, this is the right thing to do. We discuss the best ways of decarbonising an asset, including the benefits of retrofitting versus demolition. And we hear real world examples of both successful decarbonisation projects, and those that have failed to keep pace. 

    Your host is Andrew Belt and on the panel we have:

  • As we enter a new economic cycle that is resetting markets across the world, the first PAT Cast of 2024 examines the outlook for global real assets and where PATRIZIA expects the most attractive investment opportunities to be this year. 

    In this conversation, we explore both the challenges and opportunities for investors in global markets this year and examine how low investment volumes and declining values in 2023 will make 2024 a buyer's market. We also discuss the major debt and decarbonisation funding gaps and how investors can leverage these opportunities to drive value in the medium term. And our guests offer a dose of optimism, particularly when it comes to investing in sectors underpinned by the long-term megatrends of decarbonisation, urbanisation, digitalisation and demographic changes.

  • Two articles from the second edition of PATRIZIA’s estatements magazine in 2023, read aloud.

    It isn’t easy going green (01:08) and Supporting smart early education infrastructure in the Nordics (12:32).

    Your host is Andrew Belt. Articles read by Ollie Guillou.

    estatements is a twice-yearly magazine which shines a light on key topics within global real assets.

  • Solar is leading the charge in the transition away from fossil fuels and towards greater use of renewable and cleaner energy sources. And one way it can be adopted at scale in real estate is by installing solar panels on unused roof space, which generates clean energy without the need for new infrastructure.

    In episode 18 of the PAT Cast - the first of a two-parter on solar investment - we hear how PATRIZIA is utilising solarfication on its logistics assets to create renewable energy, with reference to its large Maasvlakte development on the port of Rotterdam, where solar panels have been added across much of the asset’s 210,000 square metres of available roof space. We learn how solarfication is a win-win for both landlords and tenants alike. And we explore why the use of solar panels is continuing to grow in popularity and how solar developers like Sunrock are exploring how this energy can be used to better serve end users.

    Your host is Andrew Belt and on the panel we have:

    Tim Schotte, Senior Asset Manager at PATRIZIA

    Merel Osinga, Director Business Development at Sunrock.
