Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Ximena Sosa, Partner Strategy at Cambio As a company founded by Hispanic entrepreneurs, Cambio is proud to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth by spotlighting leaders who are transforming real estate through innovation, sustainability, and inclusive leadership. Today, we're honored to feature Cambio’s own Ximena Sosa. Ximena is a proud Columbia SUMA grad coming from Madison International Realty. Ximena leverages her real estate investment experience throughout her work at Cambio, helping make sustainability strategy practical, data-driven, and embedded into everyday operations across the real estate industry. 💡 Your Background is Your Advantage "My advice is to not underestimate the value of your background and perspective. Real estate is changing quickly, especially around sustainability and technology, and having different ways of thinking is an advantage. I wish I had known earlier that you don't need to have everything figured out from the start. It's more important to be curious, ask questions, and build relationships with people you can learn from." 📊 Making Sustainability Practical "I'm proud to be working on making sustainability more practical and data-driven in real estate. At Cambio, we're helping owners and operators use technology to track performance and make better retrofit decisions. It feels meaningful to contribute to an industry shift where sustainability is becoming part of everyday operations, not just a side project." 🚀 Driving Industry Transformation Ximena's perspective reflects the kind of thinking the industry needs as it navigates rapid change - bringing curiosity, fresh perspectives, and a commitment to making sustainability accessible and actionable for real estate operators everywhere. Thank you, Ximena, for your dedication to making sustainability practical and for reminding us that diverse perspectives are essential to driving real progress in real estate. #HispanicHeritageMonth #RealEstate #Leadership #Sustainability #DiversityInRealEstate #PropTech

Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Lorenzo Cardenas, VP of ESG at DRA Advisors As a company founded by Hispanic entrepreneurs, Cambio is proud to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth by spotlighting leaders who are transforming real estate through innovation, sustainability, and inclusive leadership. Today, we're honored to feature Lorenzo Cardenas, VP of ESG at DRA Advisors, whose perspective on sustainability combines practical creativity with strategic vision. 📊 Navigating Today's Reality Lorenzo explains, "Capital is still asking for climate data, resilience plans, and transparency. The current noise doesn't change the direction of the future; it just demands we be sharper, more creative, and more disciplined in how we get there." 💡 Creating Direction from Data "When you measure what's already happening across your portfolio (energy, resilience, tenant satisfaction) you don't just collect data, you create direction. That's the kind of clarity that drives value." 🌟 The Power of Resourcefulness "As a Latino in this field, I've realized that strength lies in resourcefulness, not in having all the answers. We grow up making do, adapting, finding solutions when the map doesn't exist. That kind of practical creativity, mixed with a bit of buen humor, is exactly what sustainability needs to move forward." 🚀 The Path Forward Looking ahead, Lorenzo sees the objective as very clear: "embed decarbonization into what we call operational efficiency… efficient operations speak universally. Spoiler: when you do it right, the financials respond." Thank you, Lorenzo, for demonstrating that when we connect data to direction and embed decarbonization into operations, both impact and financials follow.

Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Marlene Farias, National VP Sustainability & Technical Services at BGO As a company founded by Hispanic founders, Cambio is proud to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth by spotlighting leaders who are transforming real estate through innovation, sustainability, and inclusive leadership. Today, we're honored to feature Marlene Farias, National VP of Sustainability & Technical Services at our partner BGO, whose journey exemplifies the power of breaking barriers while lifting others. 🌟 Paying It Forward Through Mentorship Marlene's proudest achievement isn't just her own success, it's the careers she's helped build. "[I'm proud of] mentoring young professionals to accelerate career progression, enhancing leadership skills, with a strong focus on female Real Estate leadership. It is rewarding to see that the mentorship has created a positive impact on many female professionals, with many reaching senior leadership positions in this industry." ⚙️ Impact Through Technical Expertise "Due to my technical background in Real Estate, my sustainability passion is at the intersection of environmental stewardship and a desire to be part of a transformation toward a more resilient, responsible environment. My technical lens bridges the gap with investment management by providing critical insights on property conditions, risks, and value drivers." 💪 Breaking Barriers Through Representation Marlene notes that she is most proud of driving "representation of Hispanic women (and women in general) in the Canadian Real Estate ecosystem. I sit on the BOMA Toronto Board and collaborate on several real estate panels, not only representing the company that I work for, but also representing women in leadership." 🏢 Leading the Sustainability Revolution With her technical lens bridging the gap between investment management and property insights, Marlene brings deep expertise to BGO's AI implementation journey: “Technology is significantly transforming the real estate industry and we need to embrace the transformation," she notes. "We need to embrace AI, IoT, and smart systems that enable optimization, emission reduction, and predictive maintenance." Thank you, Marlene, for your leadership, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to building a more equitable and sustainable future in real estate.

What happens when you gather #sustainability and #realestate leaders at a rock climbing gym during NYC Climate Week? Magic. 🧗 Last Thursday, we swapped conference rooms for climbing walls and watched our incredible community literally reach new heights. There's something powerful about watching the people transforming our built environment actually scale walls together. The same determination driving sustainable real estate innovation shows up on a climbing wall too! The energy was so electric, we're making this a Cambio Climate Week tradition, because sometimes the best connections happen 20 feet off the ground. Thank you to everyone who joined us. You reminded us that building a sustainable future is better when we're lifting each other up - literally and figuratively. See you on the walls next year! #NYCClimateWeek #Sustainability #RealEstate #SustainableRealEstate

Some #sustainability reports are full of jargon overcompensating for inaction. Not this one from Oxford Properties Group. As Thomas McKeown says in the video, they're integrating #sustainability at every stage of Oxford's business operation. That's how action and value creation is done. 🤝
