The market has for ages, been about "location, location, location..."
And because of this 'exclusivity = property value' idea we've been sold for years, we built for privacy.
Separated where people live from where they work, shop, and interact behind walls, gates and fences. But have you wondered why some of the most βexclusiveβ estates donβt actually perform?
But beyond aesthetics, & well-engineered gates, "location" is really just pure economics at the back-end. Which means that after the hype dies down, what makes the real difference is productivity and cash flow...
π ... Well, except for those who just want to "tie down their wealth"... Literally.
And now, this difference will become harder to ignore, because the market is starting to ask better questions.
Instead of "where is the property located?" it's asking:
π Does it have cash flow?
π Where is the cash flow coming from?
π How long can this property generate revenue for?
These questions have zero regard for walls, fences or gates.
And are already deciding everything.
From the rental market, to land administration, to investments, to even city planning.
Fortunately, smarter development models that answer these questions excellently well are starting to emerge.
One of which is the 5-minute/15-minute city...

Which literally breaks down the walls, fences and gates for economic productivity, to drive:
β
οΈ Cash flow,
β
οΈ Rent stabilization,
β
οΈ Environmental sustainability,
β
οΈ Economic mobility,
β
οΈ Wealth retention... et.c
... All without jeopardising access to affordable housing.
This article explains how, and I'm sure you'd find it useful. ππ
