Grant’s direct answer
For someone working long hours, Grant sees value in services that remove friction from daily life: a true concierge where available, valet or easy controlled-access parking, strong package handling, a good fitness center, and frequent resident events. He does not assume these features justify any price premium, but a well-run building can be worth more when the employee has limited free time. Each service should be confirmed at the specific property.
