Why transparency works
The real estate industry is undergoing a seismic shift driven by technology and evolving investor expectations. Justin Mizzi, head property valuer and advisor at Archi+, and Bradley George Tayne, co-franchise owner at Zanzi Prime, explore why transparency is essential for a competitive edge, how PropTech is revolutionising market data, and what Malta must do to adapt to the demands of a new generation of investors.
Developing a sustainable real estate ecosystem
JP Fabri explores the current state of Malta's real estate, European movements towards sustainability, and lessons from global benchmarks that could help Malta align with international standards and foster a safe, efficient, and sustainable real estate ecosystem.
Brown or green? Which colour should drive our real estate industry?
The real estate industry stands at a crossroads in several critical areas of the buying process. Simone Vella Lenicker questions whether the industry's future lies in its green credentials or conventional brown attributes, asking what drives value in today's market.
Getting workplaces working
Justin Mizzi analyses the evolving landscape of traditional office spaces in a post-COVID world. Offices must transition from obligatory workspaces to desirable environments that attract and retain talent.
GREEN(ING) REAL ESTATE IS IMPERATIVE TO ACHIEVE CLIMATE NEUTRALITY
Moving towards a more sustainable society and urgent climate action have gained more and more traction in the past years. In addition to government policies and international agreements such as the EU Green Deal or the Paris climate accord, active commitments by private sector companies and greater scrutiny by shareholders, customers and civil society are increasingly driving this green transition. Dr Kathrin Kutlescha, a chemist and manager at EY Malta's Sustainability team, reports.
DATA MATTERS - HOW CAN MALTA SOLVE ITS TRANSPARENCY CHALLENGE
Over the past three years, markets worldwide have become increasingly uncertain due to events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have resulted in consumer uncertainty, rising inflation and interest rates, and issues in the supply chain distribution. Malta is no exception, with the recent grey-listing adding to this uncertainty even further. Justin Mizzi, a real estate valuer at Archi+, an architecture firm based in Malta, explains the importance of having meaningful data in uncertain times.
