At our annual property summit, our industrial panel noted that owners are looking for brokers to be strong advisers and provide data that is organized and forward-looking to assist them with decision making on projects. In addition, retailers/etailers will continue to try and keep pace with Amazon in growth, which means other big box stores will be active in ’25. #SIOR

Our group had a fantastic time at the SIOR Global fall conference in #LosAngeles. Amazing speakers and sessions, and of course unparalleled networking opportunities with #SIOR members from across the globe. We'll see you in #LasVegas for the spring conference!

At our annual property summit, our office panel said the market is in the “top of the second” inning as it relates to working out a solution for what appears to be a difficult transition period. With that said, our panelists both experienced a significant increase in activity over the last four months. Things are beginning to speed up. Thanks to Michael Bernstein with Lincoln Property Company and Richard O'Halloran with Dinsmore & Shohl LLP for their insight. #SIOR

Congratulations to our scholarship winner, Fletcher Boyd from Drexel University! A combat veteran from the United States Marine Corps, he holds a PA real estate license and anticipates earning a degree in business administration in 2025. #SIOR #Education

At our annual property summit, CoStar Group explained that the office market is nearing an inflection point and sublet availability has leveled off, while industrial construction in Philadelphia outpaces the region with southern New Jersey driving the headline total. #SIOR

With 290 attendees and 36 sponsors, our fourth annual Office & Industrial Property Summit was a booming success. The event included plenty of opportunities for networking as well as a market forecast from CoStar Group, an office panel focused on distressed properties with Lincoln Property Company and Dinsmore & Shohl LLP, and an industrial panel discussing keys to success in a competitive market with Rockefeller Group, Brennan Investment Group and PORTMAN. Key points from each session to follow over the next few weeks, but for now enjoy a selection of photos from the event! #SIOR
