Turning volatility into strategy in office real estate with Sam Gamble, CoFounder of ReturnSuite

Was This the Only Monte Carlo Chat at MIPIM?

How do you model risk when your revenue isn’t fixed?

And your building no longer fits traditional valuation models?

In this data-rich episode, Sam Gamble, CoFounder of ReturnSuite, joins Brave Corp CEO Caleb Parker live from MIPIM in Cannes to unpack why the future of office investing needs a whole new underwriting playbook.

As flexible workspace, hybrid leases, and service-led operations reshape how buildings generate income, the old ways of modeling risk just don’t cut it.

Sam explains how ReturnSuite’s probabilistic forecasting tools (including Monte Carlo simulations) can help owners, investors, and operators make smarter decisions, even in uncertain markets.

They also reflect on what they heard (and didn’t hear) at MIPIM, and how the capital stack needs to evolve to support operational real estate.
