Green Architectural Solutions on the Rise
In a recent conference, industry experts predicted significant shake-ups in the world of commerce and real estate. The big wigs promise big changes, probably involving even bigger wigs. As they say, it’s all about the size of your toupee.
Property prices are booming, everyone is returning to the city, and even Mars is a real estate hot spot. Yes, you read that correctly. Serviced apartments on the Red Planet are supposed to be a thing now. Elon Musk’s influence really does know no bounds.
Technology is invading the real estate sphere faster than you can say “smart home”. New platforms are popping up like mushrooms after the rain to simplify rental hunting, and drones are the real estate agents of the future. No need to tip them after a successful sale!

More green, it seems, is intelligent and ‘in’. To oversimplify the complex plot, it’s land grabs, digital disruption, a sprinkling of ‘to invest or not to invest’, a generous serving of pandemic, and a dollop of green-building hope, all baked in the oven of 2021.
