  • Robo-Taxi Explosion: Waymo adoption is skyrocketing as younger riders ditch Uber — is autonomous mobility about to flip urban transport?
  • Luxury CRE Boom: One Beverly Hills advances with Aman-branded hotel and residences and a $10B build-out — why ultra-luxury still sells at $20–40M a unit?
  • Sunbelt Medical Office Surge: Houston, DFW, Atlanta and Orlando dominate as demographic trends and limited new supply push investors into MOB deals.
