On October 16, 2025, a select group of leaders will gather for STRATA, a summit co-hosted by HqO and the MIT Center for Real Estate
As hybrid work models take hold and commercial occupancy rates decline, cities worldwide are confronting a stark new reality: aging real estate is at risk of becoming irrelevant. According to Bloomberg, nearly 30% of U.S. office buildings, valued at over $1.1 trillion, could soon be obsolete.
But obsolescence is not destiny. At STRATA, HqO’s real estate summit co-hosted with MIT, Andy Doyle, Director of Operations, Innovation & Strategy at Grosvenor Property UK, will take the stage during the panel “City Retrofits: Legacy Infrastructure, Future Vision” to explore how we can reinvent—not just replace—the built environment.
Doyle brings a rare blend of operational strategy, venture investment, and urban innovation expertise. At Grosvenor, he leads both digital transformation and venture activity, aligning property development with intelligent infrastructure. Previously, at Deloitte, he advised public and private sector clients on real estate transformation and complex capital programs.
Doyle approaches retrofitting not just as a technical upgrade but as an opportunity to deliver enduring value, encompassing both social, economic, and environmental benefits. His systems-oriented perspective bridges technology integration, data strategy, and long-range planning to help cities unlock the potential in existing assets.
At STRATA, he’ll help redefine what it means to modernize urban infrastructure in an era of rapid technological change. His insights will be essential for CRE leaders, investors, and developers looking to position legacy portfolios for long-term relevance. Andy Doyle is helping cities evolve with purpose, transforming what we’ve inherited into infrastructure fit for the future.
