When you start in commercial property, it is easy to have a very fixed idea of who your customers will be. You might think you are "buying an office" for "office tenants," but the reality is often much more varied, surprising, and flexible.

In this episode, Jerry pulls back the curtain on the diverse range of customers that have used his buildings over the years - from global brands like Uber and L’Oréal to local physiotherapists and even wedding parties. He discusses why moving away from rigid property categories like "office" or "industrial" allows you to see more opportunities and create more resilient deals.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why large corporate brands often seek flexible, short-term space rather than long-term leases.

• The "backbone" tenants that provide the stability and steady cash flow for your portfolio.

• How to shift your mindset from being in the "office business" to being in the "space business."

• The surprising ways public sector tenants (like MPs and MSPs) provide long-term security.

• Why allowing the market to drive the use of your building is more profitable than forcing a fixed idea.
