The Quantum City Show
Welcome to The Quantum City Show, the show where cities meet supercomputing.
Hosted by Greg Gomer and Chase Garbarino, co-founders of HqO, we explore the boldest ideas and real-world breakthroughs at the intersection of AI, urban innovation, real estate, and public policy. Cities have always been civilization’s greatest supercomputers; concentrating talent, accelerating innovation, and scaling human potential.
Now, it’s time for the next leap.
Each week, we break down how Quantum Cities (intelligent, experience-driven urban systems) are reshaping how we live, work, and thrive. Through expert interviews, case studies, and grounded frameworks, we uncover how smart buildings, data-driven infrastructure, and civic design can transform complexity into clarity.
If you're building, governing, investing in, or simply curious about the cities of tomorrow, you're in the right place.
The Quantum City Show is powered by HqO and the Quantum City Initiative. Subscribe and join the mission to build a more dynamic, free, and human-centered urban future.

In this episode, we sit down with Dominic Endicott, author of "Knowledge Towns" and has been thinking about how secondary cities can win in a world where Silicon Valley takes everything.
One stand out point: real estate has $380 trillion in value but only $3 trillion in market cap. Meanwhile, tech went from $3T to $30T in the same period. Are we “stuck at the kids table while tech eats at the adults table” as Dominic phrased it? If so, why?
Dominic breaks down how places like Burlington, Vermont are beating major metros at their own game. They invested $200M at seed level, attracted $800M in follow-on capital, and just had their first $7B IPO - from a company that started in Boston but couldn't get funded there.
We wanted to understand how this actually works and whether it can be replicated. Turns out, it can. But American cities have to get over being "embarrassed" to want growth.
On this episode we dig into:
The "Kids Table" Problem: Why real estate can't capture value the way tech does and what the iPhone/AT&T story teaches us about platform risk
Burlington's $7B Playbook: How Vermont's Hula Collective created a venture ecosystem from scratch
The $10 Trillion Housing Bet: Why the real opportunity isn't AI data centers - it's building 10 million homes in secondary cities
Universities Are Broke: Dominic argues most universities are "well over their skis" with $1T in deferred maintenance and “Taj Mahal” research buildings that AI just made obsolete
Pittsburgh's Plan: The controversial plan to attract 500K people and $100B to a city that's "embarrassed" to want it
Ban Cars, Get Babies??: The Pontevedra, Spain story that proves walkability is what people really want
This conversation challenged a lot of our assumptions about where capital should flow and what cities should optimize for. If you're interested in how venture capital, placemaking, and talent attraction can actually rebuild American cities, pick up the book “Knowledge Towns.”
Huge thanks to Dominic for coming on and sharing his vision for future cities.

In this episode, we talk with a guest who has shaped our thinking for years: Joe Pine.
Most know him as the author of The Experience Economy, but his newer work on The Transformation Economy is what we really wanted to dig into, especially given the "global AB test" the real estate industry has been forced into lately.
We start with Joe’s "nerd" origins at IBM and how he moved from applied math to defining the Progression of Economic Value. We wanted to get past the "fluff" and talk about why the current real estate model feels so stuck in the past or as we discuss, stuck in the year 1100.
On this episode we talk about:
The "Landlord" Problem: We got into why the term "landlord" literally dates back to feudalism. It’s a 1,000-year-old mindset in a world that’s moved on. We talk about why most office buildings today are just "means to an end" and how they’re failing to help tenants actually get better at what they do.
The "Matrix" Office: Joe has this wild vision for AI. Instead of just replacing jobs, he sees it as the tool that will finally let buildings "morph" to fit who you are and what you’re doing in the moment. It’s about personalization at a level that feels like science fiction.
Are You a "Racket"? This was probably the heaviest part of the talk. Joe argues that if your business is designed to addict people, you’re not a business - you’re a racket. We dig into his idea of "Human Flourishing" and why profits are just a scorecard for how much you actually help your customers.
The Transformation Chrysalis: We rethink what a city should be. It’s not just a collection of streets and shops; it should be a place where you go to become a better version of yourself.
Huge thanks to Joe for coming on the show and sharing his time with us. His perspective on why we need to move beyond simple services to focus on actual human results is exactly the push this industry needs right now. We highly recommend picking up both The Experience Economy and his newest work, The Transformation Economy, to get the full roadmap for what’s coming next. You definitely don't want to miss the shift.

AI isn’t a future concept anymore. It’s the infrastructure the economy is running on, and it’s starting to show up in places that feel very real, very physical, and sometimes very uncomfortable. Cities, energy systems, offices, and the buildings we keep arguing about all seem to be getting pulled into the same conversation.
Throw in massive AI investments, data centers that need more power than entire towns, communities asking tough questions, and a workforce that’s clearly restless, and things get complicated fast. Some of this feels exciting. Some of it feels messy. And some of it probably deserved a little more thought before it showed up in our backyard.
On this episode we talk about:
How AI has become the infrastructure the economy runs on and why this isn’t a short-term cycle
The Stargate project and what massive AI infrastructure means for cities, energy, and local communities
Data centers, power constraints, water usage, and the growing pushback against large-scale AI development
Why commercial real estate sits at the center of the AI transition and can’t stay on autopilot
The future of offices, burnout, and what it means when over half of the workforce is looking for change
Why the physical environment still matters and how space influences behavior, productivity, and retention
Quantum cities and what places like Dubai and Singapore reveal about different models of urban innovation
Singapore’s Smart Nation approach, digital identity, and why trust matters more than technology
Why there is no single blueprint for a quantum city and why some models don’t scale
The mistakes AI leaders risk repeating from the social media era and the growing gap between tech and society
Energy, infrastructure, and the question of whether big tech becomes the next generation of utilities

In this episode, we’re joined by Marwan Aboudib, partner at Tekuma (Tekuma Frenchman Urban Design), to talk through what it really takes to build cities for the future. Drawing from his work across global markets, Marwan shares how city-making actually happens when vision meets economics, policy, and real-world constraints.
The conversation moves past the usual smart city and quantum city hype and into the harder questions: what makes a city productive, why so many large-scale urban projects stall, and how technology fits in without becoming the main character.
We explore the intersection of urban design, governance, culture, and economics, and why cities only work when these pieces are aligned.
We talk about:
Marwan’s background and how growing up in Dubai shaped his perspective on cities
The early days of Tekuma, the challenges of building the firm, and the moment that pushed it onto the global stage
What “productive cities” really mean and why cities need to create more than they consume
The real challenges of urban development. From governance and ROI to moving beyond renderings
Why the future of cities is less about building from scratch and more about retrofitting what already exists
Community, culture, and why many mega cities struggle to feel human
Boston’s AI talent drain, Miami’s rise, and how lifestyle and branding influence where people build
The role technology should play in cities and where it often goes wrong
Greenland, freedom cities, and what happens when big tech ambition meets real people and real places
Huge thanks to Marwan for coming on the show and spending the time with us. His perspective, his honesty about what actually works in cities, and the way he connects people, culture, and technology made this a great conversation.

In this episode, we’re joined by Steve from the MIT Center for Real Estate, and we get into a real conversation about PropTech, AI, and what’s actually real versus what’s just hype. No sci-fi, no robots delivering buildings, just how this stuff is really showing up in commercial real estate.
We talk about:
Why some of the most powerful uses of AI might be in the boring, behind-the-scenes work
Whether AI is replacing jobs, creating jobs, or doing something else entirely
How hard it actually is to measure productivity and ROI in real estate
The global AI adoption gap and why the U.S. builds the infrastructure but others move faster
Agentic AI and the real question underneath it all: Do you trust it enough to hit the button?
Cities, housing, workplace shifts, and what signals actually matter going forward
We go a little rogue, get a little philosophical, and finish with a lightning round that covers everything from healthy cities to personal tech we can’t live without.
Huge thanks to Steve for coming on, sharing his perspective, and helping us think more clearly about where this industry is actually headed.
Hit play. This one’s less about answers and more about asking the right questions.
Who should we bring on for the next episode?

We’re back for the first episode of the year, and instead of pretending we have crystal-clear answers for 2026, we do what we do best: zoom out, look at the data, and call out what actually feels different this time.
2025 was loud, messy, and very AI-heavy, so we start there, breaking down why this so-called “AI bubble” isn’t behaving like past tech cycles. This isn’t just software hype. It’s physical infrastructure, energy, data centers, and real adoption finally showing up in the numbers.
The “office is dead” narrative continues to fall apart, just not evenly. Leasing is back in a big way in places like New York, Boston, and even San Francisco, but the gap between winners and losers has never been wider. Experiential, flexible, high-quality workplaces are pulling ahead, while everything else keeps sliding. We talk through why the old Class A, B, and C labels are starting to feel useless, and why office is quickly becoming less about square footage and more about experience.
We wrap things up by playing a little bull-or-bear across asset classes, markets, and cities, where we’re bullish, where we’re cautious, and where we’re honestly just waiting to see how things play out. Along the way, we hit data centers, housing affordability, late-stage SaaS, capital finally coming off the sidelines, and a few city calls that spark some pushback. It’s a loose but grounded start to the year, focused less on dramatic predictions and more on how AI, office, and capital are quietly lining up as the next cycle takes shape.

Social media bans, AI data centers, and real estate signals—what a week.
Australia’s move to ban social media for teens and why the feed is starting to look like “digital cigarettes,” plus the debate over an age “sweet spot” for social platforms.
We jump to SpaceX’s potential 2026 IPO and why liquidity matters far beyond stocks—impacting commercial real estate and infrastructure capital flows.
We also go deep on AI and data centers: why Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is avoiding the asset class, how hyperscalers hold the leverage, and why the real AI bottleneck isn’t the tech—it’s energy and the power grid. Meanwhile, Brookfield is going the other way with a $20B bet on AI infrastructure.
We wrap with youth sports as a $50B+ business driving hotels and mixed-use development, plus quick hits on San Diego, Fed cuts vs the stuck 10-year, Lever House hitting 100% occupancy, Boston’s JPM branding fight, Disney + OpenAI, social cannabis in Massachusetts, and an Amsterdam detour.
In this episode: social media ban, SpaceX IPO, AI + energy, data centers, youth sports real estate, Fed rates, office recovery, Boston skyline, and more.

Sam Altman has reportedly called a “code red” as the AI race accelerates—and that momentum is beginning to show up in commercial real estate. In EP17, we look at Boston’s potential budget pressure as commercial values are projected to decline, then dive into JLL’s 2025 Global Tech Survey to understand what 1,500+ CRE leaders are doing with AI.
Adoption is high—many firms are running AI pilots—but results are still limited, with only a small share reporting that they’ve achieved their AI goals. We discuss why the performance gap between tech leaders and laggards is widening, and what that could mean for NOI, operating costs, vacancy, and tenant retention.
We also explore the “Quantum City” idea: buildings as connected nodes in a living city network, followed by quick hits on Crexi’s record listings, signs of leasing improvement in San Francisco tied to AI-driven growth, and a final discussion on private equity’s growing role in youth sports and the rising cost of streaming access.
In this episode we also cover:
🏙️ Boston’s CRE hit and city budget impact
📊 JLL 2025 Tech Survey: adoption, priorities, barriers
🧪 AI pilots vs real results (the 5% problem)
📉 Tech leaders vs laggards (ROI gap)

Nvidia just became the first company in history to hit a $5 trillion valuation — bigger than Germany’s economy, 25 Disneys, or 50 Nikes (we did the math… kind of). It’s the clearest sign yet that the AI boom is reshaping everything from Wall Street to warehouse walls — and maybe blowing up a bubble big enough to reach space.
In this episode, we unpack how Nvidia’s meteoric rise is rippling through the global economy and commercial real estate — from AI-powered infrastructure to speculative data center builds that might be running on “assumed demand.” Then we go orbital: Google’s new plan to beam power to data centers from space, and Saudi Arabia’s billion-dollar “Sky Stadium” floating a thousand feet above the desert.
We also get into OpenAI’s trillion-dollar ambitions (and that awkward “maybe the government can cover our $1.4T chip tab” comment), Microsoft’s new office-attendance surveillance trick, and why southern cities like Atlanta and Dallas are suddenly on fire with new leases. Plus, a little Mission Impossible, a lot of free-market philosophy, some old-school espionage — and, as always, Tom Cruise still saving the world.
In this episode, we cover: 💸 Nvidia’s $5T milestone — and whether we’re in the middle of an AI-fueled bubble. 🏗 The ripple effect on commercial real estate — from data centers to power grids. 📈 Speculation vs. real demand — why “assuming” growth could get risky. 🌆 The Quantum City Initiative — the five principles behind smarter, freer cities. 🤖 AI, privacy, and smart cities — from biometrics to Mission Impossible’s “Entity.” ⚖️ Free markets vs. regulation — and how “regulatory capture” keeps giants in charge. 🏙 What makes a city truly ‘smart’ — and why citizen experience is the real tech frontier. 🛰 Google’s Project SunCatcher — powering AI from outer space. 📶 Microsoft Teams’ Wi-Fi tracking — Big Brother just joined your office network. 🏢 Commercial real estate rebound — Piedmont, Highwoods, and Boston Properties beat earnings. 💰 OpenAI’s $1T IPO dream — and its $1.4T “oops” government backstop request. 🏟 Saudi Arabia’s Sky Stadium — a billion-dollar arena suspended in mid-air. 🕵️ “Sex warfare” in Silicon Valley — spies, honeypots, and why you should vet your Tinder dates. 🚗 Elon Musk’s $1T pay package — and his flying car prototype (yes, really). 🎬 Mission Impossible & Tom Cruise Watch — proof that some heroes never age.
