The need for liveable, sustainable and healthy spaces and places is shaping the development of areas, properties and objects. In future, these will no longer be defined by infrastructure and contemporary architecture, but rather by the creation of resonant experiences, experiential spaces and a better quality of life.
The future is shaped by people and their needs for interaction, community, learning, quality of life and transformation. Mobility will be perceived as the norm and the co-principle will become a matter of course. The focus is on people’s need for resonance, for encounters with the real thing. The challenge here is that experiences that are perfectly optimized for individual needs may seem right, but they don’t feel human. It is much more about really touching people.
But how will society, the economy and the environment change, what are the relevant influencing factors and how should they be taken into account in real estate development? To answer these questions, Quant uses the megatrends and sub-trends derived by the Zukunftsinstitut when developing projects. These provide relevant indications of how society, the economy and the environment could develop in the long term.
By taking these megatrends into account, we are able to develop future-oriented strategies and identify potential that is in line with the world of tomorrow. Our experience has demonstrated this: The individual consideration of the site from different perspectives consisting of facts from the past as well as the present creates an initial understanding and defines the framework of what is legal and possible within the dimensions of space and content.
The local community, the region and the respective canton are highly relevant for sustainable development. Social, economic and ecological forces as well as current legislation, future-oriented strategies and territorial characteristics create the basis for possible development approaches.

What does this mean in practice?
Analyze potential and identify opportunities: It is essential to carry out a thorough market analysis in order to correctly assess the potential of the site and develop a competitive positioning.
Sharing a vision and implementing it together: The formulation of a clear identity and strategy sets the course for the realization of the development scenario. The strategy should reflect the vision for the development of the site and define the fundamental values and objectives to be pursued during implementation.
Creating transparency and trust through sensitivity: The early and continuous involvement of stakeholders in the development process is essential for the success of a project.
Consistency in every detail: The development of a comprehensive implementation plan, which defines the specific objectives, measures, responsibilities and timetables for realization, serves as a kind of overarching “master plan”. This serves the purpose of consistent prioritization and forward-looking resource planning as well as ensuring the successful implementation of the project.
