August runs on a wider map. UCRE takes three stages in Budapest, Paris and Munich. Liven World opens a circularity wing built around Liven Woods, with a new student concept taking shape in Liven Studio. The Coliving Awards jury enters its final selections, Experience Diligence continues with investment firms, and the writing narrows to a thesis: the next generation of asset management runs on experience. A snapshot of what's now moving, and what's deliberately parked. Inspired by the /now page convention.
Liven Woods. The paulownia timber line grows into a full circularity wing of Liven World: materials, carbon and build logic under one roof, turning the circular claim into an operating arm of the company.
Liven Studio. A new student concept in development: housing for the years people are forming, built as infrastructure rather than yield, on the same industrialised logic as the rest of the family.
A quieter month by design. The new REDE site works through its last build phase, and the concept work picks back up as the team returns from summer: what developers need to commission and hold the lived experience their projects depend on.
The operating layer for resident identity is live at tenure-co.com, and the founding cohort has all but filled: one of three seats remains for institutional BTR owner-operators. Four engagements now running as pilots with developers across the UK and the Netherlands. The interface for community managers and residents is in active development.
Three new sessions on the calendar across Europe. One perspective, calibrated to three different rooms: what the sector keeps missing when it builds for the object instead of the person, and what that costs over a hold.
The Lead Judge work for Technology of the Year at the Coliving Awards moves into final selections. The bias holds: the best technology in a home is the part residents never notice.
Productised offers built on the same four-system thesis. Both new this quarter, both already meeting their first audiences.
The four-to-six week pre-investment diagnostic continues with investment firms, extending the multi-family build from July. The pattern in the rooms is consistent: the read lands hardest with owners who plan to hold, because experience compounds over exactly that horizon.
The research practice that produces the S in ESG as a defensible output: branded resident app, realtime asset-manager dashboard, and a ~100-page S-Report citable in CSRD, SFDR and GRESB submissions. The work stays at the source: a proposition with GRESB to quantify the social dimension itself: experience made measurable, spreadsheet-ready, rather than scored. Pilot still running across five assets in Amsterdam, Utrecht and Den Haag.
Independent advisory running alongside the vehicles and instruments. Each one a different angle on the same claim.
Branding, concept and experience system for a luxury hotel on a private Dutch island: the same experience-as-infrastructure logic applied where hospitality sets the standard the rest of the sector eventually chases.
Experience Multi: a design and development proposition in Morocco, held for a launch after summer. Drafting now, in the open air before the calendar fills.
Standing seat on the advisory board of Altuïtion, the customer-experience consultancy whose work translates most directly to user-centered real estate.
The writing consolidates into one thesis: the next generation of asset management taps experience as its value lever, and the owners who learn to read it will out-hold the ones who do not. The brand shifts its weight the same way this month: more writing, fewer surfaces.
Substack · jeroenjanssenat.substack.comReading toward the thesis: operator letters, asset-management practice, and the operating-cost literature that connects lived experience to the pro forma. The notes folder does the compounding.
Notes folder, mostlyA short, deliberate list. Saying no with the same care as saying yes is part of how the practice keeps its shape over a decade rather than a quarter.
Mixed-audience industry stages. Panel-only speaker requests. Architecture-only briefs with no operating layer. Pre-IC pitch decks branded as advisory. Generic investor roundtables with no operating layer in the room. Launches rushed to beat the summer; Morocco and the after-summer set hold until they're ready. Anything that asks experience to be a marketing claim instead of a system property. Anything that compounds in months but not in decades.
