Morning leftovers from our @levainbakery haul from their new Chicago location yesterday! Breakfast of champions!

It has been great to get back to New Zealand and see our new company's first #construction project making great progress! Lots in the pipeline so look forward to seeing what we can deliver over the coming years. lnkd.in/ddTjT_7G

Nice visualization of some of the biggest acquisitions made by big tech. Each blew up the news at the time, so it's interesting to see them in relation to each other.

@ramensanchi please bring back the Matcha puff! I’ve been checking on ubereats every couple of days for months now and it’s always unavailable! Help make quarantine bearable with this awesome dessert! – at Chicago, IL

Really interesting @NPR article about why women in computer science has been trending in the same direction as other fields like medicine and law. npr.org/sections/money/2014/…

Great write up of how #realestate firms can use technology to make developments more inclusive. The benefit is faster approvals & more relevant buildings. @coUrbanize #proptech propmodo.com/tech-is-helping…

An article from @FortuneMagazine that includes some comments from #MagnoliaCapital's Jay Friedrick about how scooters can complement #multifamily buildings in #urban environments fortune.com/2019/12/12/scoot…

One of my friends Lily Chen just released a pop song that I’m currently blasting on repeat! Sharing it in case you need a great track to lift up your weekend spirits! :)... open.spotify.com/album/4JCRu…

Pretty cool #proptech. 3D building renderings off of 2D #realestate plans (not instant, but less than a day). Interesting point from founder, that while it might be cooler to see this in a VR headset how many people have access to those & how often. propmodo.com/startup-creates…

Article from @fifthwallvc showing some real life examples of how #realestate is being shaped by the emergence of online gaming / #esports & the opportunities it creates. I didn't realize some events had higher viewership than the MLB & NBA! link.medium.com/rP7xIMfj50

Article about Magnolia Capital's most recent #multifamily purchase in Raleigh. Makes it three acquisitions in the just over four months I've been here! Really impressed by the team's network, discipline and tech minded approach to the #realestate space. lnkd.in/esrhYNC

Great article from @devin_mb @MIT looking at the lack of #housing supply & #gentrification as two different but related events. Understanding their differences are important when identifying solutions. citylab.com/perspective/2019…

Strong outcome for the entire team at Magnolia Capital with the sale of 562 unit #multifamily #realestate asset in Denver! Been a pleasure seeing the team come together to renovate a significant portion of the units and ensure a smooth transition. linkedin.com/posts/magnoliac…

Loved reading about the strategies that #AI developed after nearly 500 million games of hide and seek! - via @techreview technologyreview.com/s/61432…

Article discussing the 'amenity arms race' in multifamily #realestate & how residents are now seeing "wine cellars, cooking classes, personal shoppers, child care, pet services, digital driving ranges, climbing walls, and even ‘community’ gardens" realtybiznews.com/camber-cre…

48% of all trips are <3 miles & that leads to the rise of solutions like e-scooters that tackle micro-mobility. Good blog from @CushWake talking about how #multifamily #realestate should respond & how this increases perceived proximity to public #transport blog.cushwake.com/atlanta/th…
