About Us
We approach projects with an ingrained 'jobs-to-be-done' mentality that transcends traditional real estate segments, such as commercial, residential, and industrial. By immersing ourselves in a profound understanding of the purposes for which customers 'hire' a space, we meticulously develop and invest in real estate products tailor-made to their desires. For instance, when crafting a co-living space for young individuals, we engage the services of a former fashion store designer to curate an Instagram-friendly common area that fosters social interactions and community engagement. Regardless of the project, we unfailingly deliver an unparalleled product that our discerning customers truly value, often yielding remarkable returns.
Our strategies must continually evolve to reflect the dynamics of an ever-changing world. The name of our company—9606, representing the evolutionary ID for Homo sapiens—epitomizes our unwavering commitment to a 'jobs-to-be-done' mindset. It embodies our relentless pursuit of real estate innovation to address the evolving needs of society, thereby engendering sustainable long-term returns, both economically and socially.
The 'jobs-to-be-done' theory, introduced by the esteemed Professor Clay Christensen, remains profoundly pertinent today. In our present real estate landscape, technology is revolutionizing space utilization and obfuscating the boundaries between different property types. For instance, when Warby Parker utilizes its retail space for distribution, should it be classified as a retail or an industrial property?
