LOS ANGELES—“Historically, over the last two to three years, I think the returns have been better in the Western region,” says Richard Lewis, a principal at Commonwealth Partners LLC, in a video interview at Allen Matkins recent View From the Top conference, which GlobeSt.com has exclusively obtained. The video offers insights into the real estate investment market from the country’s top-tier experts. Lewis goes on to say, “Effective rents relative to values were better on the West Coast as opposed to the East Coast, and we are finding that has become more of a parody nationally.”

The video report interviews the experts that spoke on the event’s real estate investment panel, and records each speakers recap and personal analysis as well as highlights from the panel discussion itself. “We put the industry leaders together from Kilroy Realty, Hudson Pacific, CBRE, Eastdil Secured and others who shared their insights in regards to how the California market has been effected by the economic recovery, job growth, the influx of foreign capital into the coastal markets and other fundamental drivers,” Tony Natsis, an attorney at Allen Matkins, tells GlobeSt.com
