Mar commented on the work Green Street has been conducting on real estate disrupters. She noted that many of the potential disrupters Green Street is studying, including e-commerce, driverless cars, ride-sharing platforms and Airbnb, are long term in nature. As a result, these disrupters are often not reflected in seven-year internal rate of return (IRR) models.
