Networking Break

3:30pm – 4:20pm:

Who, What, Where: The Ins & Outs of Attracting and Retaining Retail Tenants

Market fundamentals highly dictate leasing and tenant activity in the retail space. With increased concessions and adjusted asking rents, landlords are pushing back against the national slowdown and positioning their properties to entice retailers back to the market. NY’s most active retail brokers, owners, developers and users will discuss how tenants are influencing both the transformation and leasing of space, the locations and amenities that tenants are demanding, and more.

4:25pm – 5:15pm:

Shaping the Skyline: Insights from Industry Leaders

The most active and influential CRE players have created and shaped the NY skyline. Hear from these industry leaders as they discuss what is driving demand and creating opportunities, as well as the creative projects, and up-and-coming locations on the horizon.

5:15pm – 5:30pm

Next Generation Award Presentation

Across the country, Connect Media’s Next Generation Awards recognized 25 young leaders, chosen from more than 450 nominations from all sectors of the commercial real estate industry. We chose five young leaders from NY who are already making big contributions to our industry and are likely to be influential for a long time — because of their talent, drive and fresh ideas. We are pleased to present these NY winners their awards.

It is critical that we all take the emerging challenge presented by the Coronavirus seriously. We should remain calm and await more information to be provided by health experts. Clearly, there needs to be an awareness of the potential impact on the CRE industry from an economic perspective. We are watching the rapidly evolving situation to determine the best approach to our business and prepare plans based on information and recommendations from health officials. We ask those planning to attend conferences take the necessary precautions to help prevent the spread of the virus. We will look for ways to help educate those in the CRE industry and work with our event venue partners to create the safest environment possible. Some of the recommendations to protect yourself offered by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) include:
  • Frequently wash hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
  • Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth without first washing your hands
  • Use tissue when sneezing or coughing and dispose of immediately
  • Avoid close contact with individuals showing signs of fever or persistent cough
If you don’t feel well take all of the above steps and
  • Seek the advice of your doctor and call ahead for appointments
  • Refrain from unnecessary contact with family members or pets
  • Stay home or work remotely
