The discussion, prompted in part by Alex Goss’s recent FT article, explored how rising global uncertainty, increased public visibility, and evolving threat dynamics are elevating both the perception and reality of security risks. Attendees considered how these factors are shaping building design, day-to-day operations, staffing, and ultimately long-term asset value. A key theme was the distinction and interplay between perceived and actual security, and how each influences decision-making and buyer expectations in the high-end residential market.
Blending operational expertise with journalistic perspective, the session offered a balanced view of real-world challenges alongside broader market implications. It also highlighted the growing value premium attached to demonstrable, well-integrated security measures, as well as the importance of maintaining a positive resident experience.
