Our intern is joining in on roof inspections - yours is eating big lunches and playing pickle ball - there is probably a happy medium

I’m grabbing lunch in Bryant Park, NYC and there is a sea of 20 something’s in collared shirts - it’s intern season and holy crap is it easy to feel like an elder.

@matt_gray_ Respectfully, worry less about someone's list and Do The Work you know you need to do, but haven't been.

@SMB_Attorney Social media tends to make things black or white - you can still damage or degrade the quality of something w/o making it obsolete. Attorneys may need different training on critical thinking & approaches to research when faced with ai agent that claims to or can do both for them

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

@matt_gray_ Yup - it can be too easy to stay in the architect role- the planning and designing is fun and exciting - the craftsman part - whether apprentice or master (i.e. the execution) is the key to great businesses

The CRE Vertical Yacht aka the NYC Ferry on its approach to pick me up this semi-clear morning.

@Snowball_Dev Congrats on getting that deal done!

A little New York, New York action at the 26th Annual Holy Smokes Cigar Dinner at Giando’s on the Water - Brooklyn

@realEstateTrent Or possibly you have the wrong lawyer. There is nothing wrong with saying to your lawyer- this is how I plan on handling this business issue - based on your experience and all the deals you see - am I missing something, any thoughts to share?

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

Did not head to Vegas this year, but did sign two LOIs yesterday with local franchisees - deal flow must be in the air.

When you work with family offices and businesses you need to remember that succession planning goes beyond the family - you need to consider succession planning for their trusted advisors and vendors.

At the #TRDFORUM listening to leaders in the office property landscape - talking about the great office reset. Funny comment about how a large portion of the leasing is from AI companies - meaning they want people in the office - at least part of the time.

At some point, the thinking that “I won’t get fired if I hire XYZ, Inc.” should get you fired.

There is a big difference between being able to list "Best Practices" and being able to execute best practices in accordance with real life resources and constraints.

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

@realEstateTrent My immediate thought was zero-sum negotiating styles, then I saw time and ego as other answers - basically ego drives that negotiating style and wastes time - all related.

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

@JanPetke An operating system that is driven by a clearly defined purpose is critical.

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

Had a great time and made new connections at the 4th Annual Real Estate Gala hosted by @BobKnakal & @realEstateTrent. As a born and raise New Yorker I was still amazed by the views. Great job to all involved and looking forward to the 5th Annual!

[Andrew Lofredo @AndrewVLofredo]

I get that controversy is good for building your social media presence, but I get annoyed by sponsors telling investors (except their investors) that the investor's current strategy sucks - without giving any consideration to that investor's objectives.

@McKinsey If you have systems and simplified structures in place to reduce bureaucracy- do you need as many middle managers?
