Course Description
Perspectives
Boom and bust periods are really about market forces working for and against commercial real estate. This course intends to provide practitioners with perspectives on some of the forces at work and demonstrate how those forces affect the built environment. The journey begins with the steam engine and runs through to the modern era of technological advancement. It explores the impact of the ‘Boomer Generation’ and touches on real estate economics including valuation issues, demographic trends, competition in a globalized economy, the so-called jobless recovery and more. In an evolving, globalized marketplace, clients are challenging practitioners to provide more substance in order to make better, more informed buying decisions. Practitioners who grasp these elements and incorporate them into their toolkits should be better equipped to differentiate themselves from the competition and win more assignments.
