    The Future of Being Changes Everything

    What if the office was designed like a city?

    In this season-opening episode, Bedeir Rizk, CEO of Paragon Developments, joins Brave Corp CEO Caleb Parker and ReturnSuite Cofounder, Sam Gamble, live from MIPIM in Cannes to explore Paragon’s $1.5B plan to redefine office real estate across Cairo, Riyadh, and beyond.

    At the core of Bedeir’s vision is the belief that the office should be a regenerative ecosystem—not just a floor plan. That means blending coworking, corporate HQs, wellness, culture, retail, and hospitality into a vertically integrated model that serves the future of being.

    From AI and robotics to crowdfunding office assets and selling future space off-plan, Bedeir unpacks how Paragon is reimagining buildings around user experience, output, and community—not just square meters.

    Could this be the blueprint for a more sustainable, profitable, and human future of work?

    Key Topics:

    * Designing buildings from the customer outward, not just for leasing

    * Paragon’s three-part real estate product: corporates, startups, and the “hub”

    * Selling office space off-plan—like residential condos

    * Smart capex and programming that boosts productivity

    * Creating regenerative ecosystems with art, culture, and PropTech

    * Expansion into Saudi Arabia: blending Riyadh’s ambition with Berlin’s creativity

    * How hospitality-level service and flexibility boost NOI and brand equity

    Who should watch:

    Landlords, PropTech founders, flex operators, developers, institutional investors, and anyone passionate about redefining the purpose of the office.
