BEN GATTIE
Founder and CEO, Triple P
As much of the world couldn’t access and temporarily questioned the need for non-essential real estate, one major challenge was putting our growth and expansion plans on hold. Instead, we futureproofed our business model, encouraging investors and clients to see beyond the numbers; to focus on the importance of building a resilient neighborhood. We shift the idea of ‘people serving real estate’ to ‘real estate serving people’, aiming to have an impact on our communities through positive gentrification. Curating experiences and concepts that appeal to different audiences throughout the day to constantly diversify and improve the neighborhood offering, making it more resilient and inclusive. Operating a holistic approach, we give real estate purpose, creating sustainable profits. Through adaptive reuse, we recycle old properties, bringing new life and futureproofing them for the modern user while preserving and celebrating identity, culture, and heritage. This invigorates tenants, members, residents, and visitors, making them feel that real estate can be a vehicle not only to survive in but to thrive in, becoming part of a resilient, vibrant ecosystem.
