What is it: This article from Dataversity explores the evolution of data stewardship from early IT governance to its present role in organizational strategy.

Notably, SoHo in Manhattan exemplifies this revival, with Ralph Lauren securing a prime location for $132 million, indicating strong investor confidence. Additionally, the emergence of cannabis dispensaries in upscale areas like Fifth and Madison Avenues reflects the sector's evolving landscape.
