At Groot Handelsgebouw in Rotterdam, Chroma by Maaike Canne brings the tones and forms of nature into the building through an abstract composition inspired by leaves, earth, sky, and sea. The mural creates a quiet rhythm across the space, with shapes that move almost like wind passing through a landscape. Rotterdam-based illustrator and visual artist Maaike Canne draws on her love of architecture, design, and nature, often exploring the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock prints, her work creates serene, cinematic compositions that encourage a different view of familiar surroundings. #JamestownEurope #ArchitectureandArt #CreativePlacemaking

Noon to Night returned to Avalon for the 12th year in a row, transforming the property into a runway for an evening of fashion and fundraising. Avalon’s longstanding partnership with Bert's Big Adventure continues to bring the community together around an important cause. This year’s event raised a record-breaking $160,000 for the nonprofit, which provides all-expenses-paid trips to Walt Disney World for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families. Avalon is proud to continue this tradition year after year, creating meaningful ways for the property, its retailers, and the surrounding community to give back. #Placemaking #CommunityImpact #CommunityEngagement

Our latest Sustainability and Social Responsibility Report reflects our continued efforts to reduce our environmental impact while supporting the long-term performance and resilience of our properties. In 2025, we reduced energy use intensity and greenhouse gas intensity compared to the previous year, supporting lower operating costs, stronger net operating outcomes, and future-proofing assets against evolving regulations. Our U.S. office portfolio continues to outperform the industry median for energy use intensity, reflecting ongoing progress in energy efficiency. At the same time, expanded data coverage is helping us better understand performance across the portfolio and identify opportunities for continued improvement.

At IDB Lisbon, the next phase of investment is underway with a new refinancing led by Crédito Agrícola and advised by CBRE. The financing replaces the original banking syndicate and provides additional funding to support the continuation of work at the property. The first phase repositioned the former industrial building into a modern office destination with shared amenities and a public rooftop space featuring culinary offerings, art installations, and community programming. The next phase of work will focus on improving outdoor spaces, optimizing vertical access, and implementing sustainability interventions, which will allow for the creation of additional office and retail spaces and support the goal of transforming IDB Lisbon into a hub for technology companies, creative companies, and startups. “This refinancing positions IDB Lisbon solidly for the next phase of our long-term redevelopment strategy, transforming this iconic asset into a modern, future-oriented destination with innovative workspaces and a differentiated commercial offering.” - Philipp Braunfels, Co-Head of Jamestown Europe Read more from Jornal Económico here: https://lnkd.in/eK7mu3dT

A wave of tenant expansions is taking place at Waterfront Plaza and Levi’s Plaza in San Francisco. Greptile, Goodfire, Pantheon, Paraform, and Salient-AI are collectively expanding their footprints by more than 84,000 square feet. Together, the expanded spaces are expected to support nearly 1,000 employees. The activity reinforces the Northern Waterfront’s position as a hub for AI and technology companies, where firms are not only establishing a presence but choosing to stay and grow within a campus environment that provides access to flexible workspaces, programming, acres of parks, building amenities, and dining options. "What we’re seeing now is the next chapter of the story we’ve been telling about the Northern Waterfront — it’s not just about attracting new frontier companies, it’s also about the ones who are already here choosing to grow with us. When a tenant triples its footprint or expands for a second or third time, that’s the clearest signal we can get that this community is working for them.” – Alex Schwiebert, Senior Vice President, West Coast Regional Market Leader at Jamestown
