How we brought our workforce safely back to buildings by May. Dutch developer EDGE on the technology that has facilitated a return to work in the midst of the pandemic

Join EG's tech editor, Emily Wright, and EDGE's product excellence director, Sandra Gritti, for a discussion on how building data has allowed the Dutch developer to bring staff safely back to work despite the pandemic.

While many real estate companies are gearing up to address and improve their building data collection and usage capabilities, there are others which have been advocating this approach to development for some time.

Dutch developer EDGE is a prime example. It has focused on collecting and using building data to allow its portfolio, which includes EDGE and EDGE Olympic in Amsterdam, to constantly learn, adapt and improve. The result has been greener, smarter and more efficient buildings. It is this same approach that has allowed EDGE to create safer buildings in response to concerns about return to workplaces in the midst of, and following, the pandemic.

With plans to bring this approach to development to London with its EDGE London Bridge scheme, EDGE’s product excellence director Sandra Gritti will join EG’s first building data podcast to reveal how the company has built up a reputation as being one on real estate’s most data-led developers. She will discuss how they have trialled and tested the right technology, how they have successfully used data to evolve a portfolio to become one of the greenest and smartest in the world and what EDGE’s London debut will mean for UK real estate.
