How do the spaces we live and work in shape our cities, and what does the future hold for the built environment? In the first PlotLines episode of 2025, Heather and Britni sit down with Amit Egan Datwani, Founder and Chief Consultant of Global Consulting Organization, to discuss bold solutions for today’s most pressing commercial real estate challenges.
Amit shares his vision for rethinking office spaces, offering insights into the concept of “central living districts,” which blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces to create more dynamic urban centers. The discussion highlights the economic realities of adaptive reuse, including the pivotal role of tax incentives, and explores how a human-centered approach to design can improve the well-being of city residents while addressing large-scale office vacancies.
From creating opportunities for mixed-use transformations to imagining a more balanced and sustainable built environment, Amit’s perspective underscores the ability of commercial real estate to pivot toward innovation and adaptability.
Tune in to this week’s episode to hear how Amit would rewrite the headline: “This is the greatest opportunity that we will ever have to transform the built environment and reimagine life on planet Earth.”
