In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Jeroen Henrich, Senior Vice President of Development at Cadillac Fairview, to break down the shift from condos to rentals, why underutilized parking fields are now some of the most valuable real estate in Quebec, and how mega-sites like Carrefour Laval get redeveloped without hurting retail performance. They dig into master planning as \u201c3D chess\u201d, transit and infrastructure constraints, ESG fundamentals that actually move the needle, and the underwriting discipline required when construction costs and capital markets turn volatile. &amp;nbsp; Topics &amp;amp; Timestamps \u23f1\ufe0f 00:01:03 \u2013 Cadillac Fairview in Montreal \ud83c\udfe2 00:01:56 \u2013 Downtown revival &amp;amp; rentals \ud83d\udcc8 00:04:59 \u2013 Residential growth strategy \ud83d\udccd 00:06:08 \u2013 Why Laval matters \u265f\ufe0f 00:09:28 \u2013 Redevelopment complexity \ud83c\udfeb 00:12:32 \u2013 City priorities &amp;amp; tradeoffs \ud83c\udf3f 00:15:46 \u2013 ESG fundamentals \ud83d\udcd0 00:16:55 \u2013 Densification logic \ud83c\udf19 00:19:46 \u2013 24-hour neighborhoods \ud83c\udfaf 00:21:57 \u2013 What great plans need \ud83c\udf0d 00:23:18 \u2013 Global inspiration \ud83e\udde0 00:25:01 \u2013 Smarter parking tech \u23f3 00:26:00 \u2013 Long-term outcomes \ud83d\udcb0 00:27:31 \u2013 Capital expectations \ud83d\udcc9 00:28:20 \u2013 Market reality check \ud83e\uddee 00:29:21 \u2013 Underwriting discipline \u2705 00:31:03 \u2013 Closing thoughts &amp;nbsp; Jeroen\u2019s LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeroenhenrich\/?originalSubdomain=ca Web: https:\/\/www.cadillacfairview.com\/ &amp;nbsp; If this conversation brought you value, share the episode with a colleague or friend in real estate who would benefit from Mike\u2019s insights.
