2025-Innovators in Commercial Real Estate-Inspire by Silverstein Properties

Innovative Outlook: Where do you see the biggest opportunities for innovation in the commercial real estate sector?

At Inspire, we’re redefining what it means to work in an office by blending hospitality, wellness, and technology to create experiences that make people feel part of something bigger. It’s about transforming spaces from where you work into places where you belong. 

Impact Highlight: Describe a recent program, initiative, or process implemented by you and the impact on your firm, organization, or community. 

Our entire Inspire team, from events to workspace and residential, recently completed the Forbes Executive Training Program. I am proud that every team member, including our executives, embraced this growth opportunity to deepen our culture of hospitality, trust, and communication and set a new standard for excellence across the Inspire portfolio.

Corporate Culture: How does your organization foster a culture of innovation among employees and leadership? 

At Inspire, I foster innovation by encouraging collaboration and curiosity across every level of our team. Through our monthly Service Values, WOW stories, and open communication, we create space for ideas that enhance the tenant experience. I believe true innovation happens when hospitality, technology, and human connection come together with purpose.

Beyond Buildings: How do you see innovation in commercial real estate creating a broader impact on communities and the people who live and work in them? 

Through the Inspire App, we connect over 40,000 users across multiple cities, creating a network that goes far beyond our buildings. Innovation in real estate means building community, not just spaces. By partnering with local businesses, we expand their reach, support neighborhood growth, and create meaningful connections between people, places, and experiences.
