FLORHAM PARK, NJ—The economy remains relatively stable overall, despite hurricanes battering the Texas coast, the change of administration and regulatory environment in Washington, say panelists on the “State of the Industry: An Outlook of New Jersey’s CRE & Capital Markets” panel at this year’s RealShare New Jersey conference, held Tuesday in Florham Park, NJ. Brian Whitmer, executive director, Cushman & Wakefield, moderated the panel.
