Hussain Masumi

EMCEE

Bisnow

Hussain's passion for sales and commercial real estate can be traced back to his dad, a first generation immigrant from Afghanistan, who shared his interests of new developments in Dallas, TX with Hussain and a young age. After leaving Dallas, he moved to Fayetteville, AR to attend the University of Arkansas (Go Hogs!) where he received a Bachelor's Degree in Finance with a concentration in real estate. During his time at Arkansas, Hussain established himself as a co-founder of a wine accessory company and a 4.96 star Uber driver (we'd give him a 5). Outside of the office, Hussain cheers for the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, and the Texas Rangers (incase you forgot where he was from). Most importantly, Hussain prides himself on being an investigator and organizer of engaging conversations, connecting with people from all backgrounds.

  2. How are landlord’s pandemic-proofing the next iteration of commercial offerings?

  3. How are you utilizing technology to meet changing tenant demands?

  4. What does the "office of the future" look like? What will end users want from their space? How will technology play a role in shaping this new office?

  5. How are you leveraging data to accurately price your space?
