Offering that "there are more questions than answers about the state of the commercial real estate market," RealShare Boston organizers promise that the environment will be made clearer via a mix of information and networking, plus "an added dash of entertainment." That element will be offered Wednesday morning via a lively back and forth session entitled, "Fact or Fiction" and featuring Paradigm Properties president Kevin McCall and legendary Boston broker William McCall.

"Fact or Fiction" will ask the two to affix one label or the other to a series of premises presented on such matters as the leasing market, investment sales, construction and job growth. They will then be allowed to elaborate in greater detail. The 20-minute session will follow opening remarks by Real Estate Media publisher Michael Desiato and the keynote address from Barry Bluestone, public policy director for Northeastern University's Center for Urban and Regional Policy.

The "Fact or Fiction" portion is one of several venues RealShare Boston will provide to decipher the current market conditions and future trends, including a "town hall meeting" format. Moderated by RJ Lyman, a partner at Goodwin Procter LLP, that panel features some of the region's most prolific developers, including National Development President Thomas Alperin; Ronald Druker of the Druker Co.; mall guru Stephen Karp; and Boston Properties CEO Edward Linde. Meredith & Grew EVP Ronald Perry will also contribute his insights to the topic.
