For decades, concrete, glass and steel have dominated our largest urban environments. They’ve led to some of our most spectacular engineering feats and allowed millions to live, work and play in our great cities. But they have several major problems. They are expensive. They are complicated and time-consuming to build with. And they put a huge strain on the planet – In major cities like New York, real estate can account for up to two-thirds of carbon emissions. To continue building ultra-dense environments faster, cheaper and more sustainability, there’s a recognition that we need to innovate what we use to build them. The field of materials science has become a key focus for the world’s leading real estate companies today. Billions of dollars are being invested into solutions that would change the construction and development industries. Let’s break down some of the key innovations we’re seeing play out.

If you had to pick one phrase at the center of the American dream, it would be “homeownership.” The white picket fence evokes the image of making it. The reality today, however, is that owning a home is out of the reach of most Americans. Rising home prices and increasing affordability issues coupled with stagnant wages means that many would-be buyers are forced to remain in the rental market – and rental landlords have reaped the rewards. But there’s a fast-growing – and highly controversial – offering that wants to bridge the gap. It’s called rent-to-own. In this latest episode of Paydirt, The Real Deal’s Hiten Samtani breaks down the growth of the sector, how it works, identifies key players in the space, and highlights concerns with the model.
