Leaders Explore Changing, Evolving Downtown

[IMGCAP(1)]NEW YORK CITY-The constant change and innovation that has encapsulated lower Manhattan is setting the stage for an exciting new decade. Critics who doubted the area’s recovery following 9/11 now watch as it makes rapid progress. Real Estate Media will introduce RealShare Downtown New York, a networking conference designed to explore the changing and evolving office, retail, multifamily and hotel sectors in lower Manhattan, on May 13 at Cipriani Wall Street, where more than 250 attendees are expected.

[IMGCAP(2)]“From the rebuilding at the World Trade Center site to the buzz and activity in the hotel, retail and multifamily sectors, there is no busier market or one that presents greater opportunities today than Downtown, and that is why RealShare is focusing an event solely on all that is going on, and what will continue to happen and transform the market over the next three years, Downtown,” says Richard Kelley, executive director of the RealShare Conference Series.

[IMGCAP(3)]“The combination of the financial services industry pullback and a possible widening of the delta between Midtown and Downtown rental rates makes this conference come at an important time for the Downtown market, and our A-list roster of speakers will not be short on opinions as to where the Downtown market is headed and where there are deals to be made,” he continues.
