approaches in development of projects, measures, which advance multi-modal
policies, and initiatives. mobility and foster walkability. Two of the major trends are: the changing nature of work, and the continued growth of the
sharing economy. Workers do not stay in the same job for long, and many work in the “gig”
economy where they are able to work from anywhere as long as they have access to their
computers and an internet connection.

and a comfortable space where people can work in an energized setting that promotes
collaboration with others. The development includes a co-working space and a large
grocery store that allows residents and others to participate in the life of the project. In the
Ten at Clarendon project, the lobby space has significant areas for residents to work that
were designed in the tradition of hotel lobbies where people can gather. The project also
includes live/work units that meet the needs of small entrepreneurs.
The sharing economy has impacted the project submissions. According to research,
72 percent of the US population has used some type of shared or on-demand service
including ride-hailing apps, home-sharing services, delivery of products and groceries,
working in shared office space, renting clothing or hiring someone online for errands/tasks.
Some of the most common types of Sharing Economy solutions have potential real estate
implications, including peer-to-peer lending, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, short-term
stays (Airbnb, VRBO), and peer-to-peer lending. These and other services are expected to
grow in the future because they can deliver goods, and services, at a lower cost, and both
users and providers have new opportunities to profitably participate. In the applications,
this trend is evident in such unique offerings as a “lending space” in Ten at Clarendon that
stocks a variety of items that tenants may want to use but may not own such as vacuum
cleaners or crockpots or dinner plates and utensils for a large group. The trend is also
evident at Oslo Atlas where the units include five bedrooms with a bath for each, and the
tenants move in individually and then share the common space.
