Stantec principal Jon Cardello says that outstanding design is vital but not enough, because the project must be informed by what the market will bear and if it can practically reach the construction phase. Jon says that clients are coming to Stantec to create a product that offers distinguishing characteristics in a very crowded marketplace. The solution: amenity programs, guest experiences and how food/beverage generates revenue.
