  • Water Sub‑metering, Infill Development & Municipal Challenges with Dan Illes
    Nov 15 2025

    Dan Illes is a real‑estate professional and infrastructure strategist with experience in utility management, urban development and municipal‑private collaboration. Over the past decades, he has worked on multiple multi‑unit residential developments, helped implement sub‑metering systems and engaged with municipal partners to optimize infrastructure and service delivery. Dan brings a unique lens at the intersection of real estate, utilities and urban planning. On this episode, we discussed:

    Water Sub‑metering: It's not just about splitting utility bills. It changes occupant behaviour, creates more equitable cost‑allocation and can increase net operating income for multi‑unit assets.

    Infill Development: Urban infill offers huge potential — location benefits, sustainability, existing services. But you'll face tougher site access, regulatory complexity, community resistance and more constrained site layouts.

    Municipal Challenges: Cities often wrestle with adding units because of parking and lot size requirements and noise studies.
