Ilia Bouchouev is the author of the book “Virtual Barrels” on quantitative oil trading. The book argues the global oil market is no longer solely influenced by the supply and demand of physical oil barrels. In today’s landscape, financial barrels traded by hedge funds using quantitative algorithms and dealers managing large portfolios of oil derivatives are equally crucial in determining the price of oil.

The city of Baltimore has about 12,000 vacant and abandoned houses and tens of thousands of vacant lots. Homes within 200 feet of a vacant property sell for 8 percent to 30 percent less than comparable homes, making vacancy a significant barrier to neighborhood revitalization. Now it is turning to private and institutional investors to supplement the $1.2 billion in public funding committed to reverse Baltimore’s vacant-housing crisis. To discuss the investment opportunity, Stephen Madsen, head of neighborhood investment at the Greater Baltimore Committee, joins the program. (10/2026)

For generations, the gospel of commercial real estate was simple: location, location, location. That calculus is over.

To discuss the topic, Ed Del Beccaro, executive vice president and San Francisco Bay Area manager for TRI Commercial Real Estate Services, joins the program. (10/2026)

Jeremy Parks, president of Trident Marine Group, joins i3 editor Kali Arevalo to discuss what characteristics are drawing infra investors to these assets, where investors might misjudge risk, and how scarcity impacts pricing power and long-term asset value.

With the advent of artificial intelligence, business leaders are increasingly thinking in terms of automating processes of all types — with the goal of increasing efficiency and, perhaps, employing a lighter workforce. Not so fast, says Tyler Christiansen, at least with regard to property management. Christiansen is CEO of Funnel, a market intelligence platform. He points out that the property management business is quickly moving toward the idea of fully autonomous property management, with AI increasingly capable of handling everything from leasing and resident communication to maintenance coordination and back-office tasks. But, he argues, there’s an important distinction getting lost...

Sean Donohue, managing director of the coLab — the membership-based coworking model of Bell Works — is leading an effort to bring coworking and flex office space to city suburbs. A simple way to think about the idea is WeWork for the suburbs, offering shorter commutes and, in theory, more life/work balance for professionals. Though still in its early stages, the concept — as well as the ideas supporting it — are interesting and worthy of some elaboration. Donohue obliges. (10/2026)

As the power and the data center worlds increasingly overlap, the power dynamic has reversed. Developers used to chase power-purchase agreements; now operators are chasing power. Justin DeAngelis, partner and global head of Denham infrastructure, joins i3 editor Kali Arevalo to discuss this phenomenon. They also dive into why renewables alone cannot meet data center power needs and how the U.S. and European markets differ when it comes to data center power development. (10/2026)

Andrea Zubow, senior vice president of the real estate division at Lessen, points to the “seismic shift” in how multifamily operators evaluate and optimize maintenance across portfolios. Today’s most successful multifamily operators are not focused strictly on individual repairs; they are focused on strengthening the infrastructure and systems responsible for delivering those repairs at scale. Zubow explains. (09/2026)
