Dear friends,

On behalf of the team at Brickfields Consulting, welcome to the inaugural issue of The Place Edition, our new periodical property-insights communiqué.

Over the past five years, we have compiled the year’s most progressive property trends in our annual trend report, ‘The Place Report’. Starting today however, we will be releasing our intelligence on a more regular basis through The Place Edition™.

We hope you enjoy the read – especially this quarter’s feature on ‘Integrated Wellbeing’ – and we look forward to your company once again in 2017.

Sincerely,

David Grant
