NEW YORK CITY—In partnership with the Avenue of the Americas Assoc., CoreNet NYC recently convened the top corporate real estate executives, as well as the largest owners and landlords, from across the New York metro area for a virtual roundtable on how the industry can work together to maintain business continuity and ensure future economic viability and public safety.
According to a prepared release, the Landlord x Tenant Roundtable was a rare, one-time event that brought together some of New York's most influential commercial real estate minds for a remote, closed-door discussion on how the industry can pull to together to create a positive impact for New York and emerge from this public health and economic crisis stronger and better prepared for the future, as well as the steps both tenants and landlords can take in reopening and staying safe.
The virtual "closed door" event discussed how the industry can pull to together to emerge from this health and economic crisis stronger and better prepared, including the next steps both tenants and landlords can take in reopening and how to prepare for further challenges.
"Open conversations between owners and occupiers will be crucial going forward," said Alison Kwiatkowski, Programming & Outreach Committee Chair and Vice President, Americas Business Partner, Deutsche Bank.
According to Kwiatkowski, "All stakeholders in the real estate ecosystem need to collaborate and coordinate to create practical solutions that keep the industry strong. This roundtable created a space for these discussions to happen."
