PHILADELPHIA-Last week's RealShare Philadelphia event examined how the Philadelphia market is dealing with commercial real estate trends and why the area is becoming hotter to developers.

Key quotes from the event included:

"Fannie Mae is receptive to restructuring loans. The mistakes borrowers make is that they don’t sit down with the lender while they still have some cash they can contribute to a restructuring. They wait until they have nothing" - John Marr, senior vice president of Alliant Capital LLC

“I had a client tell me once that no one needs to come to work anymore.” - Ron Cariola, managing director, lead broker for Jones Lang LaSalle Philadelphia.

"The Philadelphia market is doing its best to embrace change by focusing on this speed to market in all aspects" - Paul Garvey, senior director of Cushman & Wakefield’s brokerage services group
