CRE Markets Biding Time During Economic Crisis

DALLAS-Whether it’s a bail-out or rescue plan that’s emerged as the Band-aid, the commercial real estate industry these days isn’t for the faint of heart as deals stall and fall out amid rising concerns of a global recession. History has proven, and certainly will do so again, that the temporary setback effectively is buying time for CRE markets to regroup and return as a chief underwriter for the US economy.

The deal-making lull is an engaging opportunity for professionals to meet, talk and explore what’s happened as they adjust to the times and chart new courses for profitability. The discovery period is being spotlighted Nov. 13 at the seventh annual RealShare Dallas. To date, more than 250 professionals from all CRE walks have signed up for the half-day session, which will be held at the Hotel Inter-Continental Dallas at 15201 Dallas Pkwy. in Addison.

With the economy continuing to lead the nation’s news, RealShare Dallas has lined up an economist and top-ranked owner of office buildings in Texas as one of the headliners. Zaya Younan, chairman and CEO of Los Angeles-based Younan Properties Inc., will sit in a one-on-one interview with John Salustri, editorial director of Real Estate Media, a division of UK-based Incisive Media, which also is the parent of the RealShare Conference Series and GlobeSt.com.
