The challenges of inflation, interest rates, and back to the office can be overwhelming, but changing demographic forces may be the biggest story of our time.

How will downtowns like San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, DC recover from their considerable challenges? What will become of the preponderance of obsolete office buildings? How will people house themselves?

It’s all changing in real time—and so is what people want.

According to Nordby, mixed-use will generally outperform—because that’s what people want.

He sat down on May 4, 2023 with AFIRE CEO and podcast host Gunnar Branson to discuss how real estate will navigate the waves of demographic change in the years ahead.
