In the dynamic world of real estate, one of the major keys to success lies in teamwork and specifically designed technologies that help agents make more money in a far shorter period of time. Paul Chang wrote a great article about how the right ecosystem can help build agents confidence and mindset as they gain strategic intelligence and information from a large group of real estate advisors in real time. Imagine a real estate community where agents work together, treating each other with respect, and fostering a spirit of teamwork. The ever-advancing and legislatively changing real estate industry is now heading towards a new approach. What worked even 2 years ago is now becoming obsolete. Teamwork, (continuous) training, trust, and the latest technology are now the cornerstones of thriving in real estate- and you should make sure your brokerage can provide you with all 4.

With rental prices being so high, we are more often fielding the question of renting vs. buying. Andrew Pitsios wrote a great article about the differences between the two and how to make some educated decisions. Some people are eager to lock in a specific monthly payment, but aren't sure if the other aspects of homeownership are for them. In real estate, both market timing and recognizing a great deal (whether for buying or renting) can be crucial. It's important to plan as far ahead as possible, and not make an impulsive decision. What should renters consider before deciding to renew their lease or purchase their first property?

Downtown Manhattan is leading the charge in retail leasing activity, comprising a staggering 38.4% of all first-quarter transactions in 2024. Within Downtown Manhattan, the momentum is particularly strong in the iconic neighborhood of Soho, that continues to shine, accounting for 30.3% of completed retail deals, while the Financial District follows closely behind, capturing 24.2% of leasing transactions. This surge in leasing activity underscores the resilience and vibrancy of Downtown Manhattan's retail landscape. From trendy boutiques in Soho to bustling storefronts in the Financial District, opportunities abound for retailers looking to make their mark in this dynamic urban hub. #DowntownManhattan #RetailRevival #Soho #FinancialDistrict #CommercialRealEstate

Philadelphia-based Alterra Property Group has raised nearly $1B for industrial outdoor storage acquisitions as the firm continues to snap up the hard-to-source properties to add to its growing portfolio, reported Bisnow. "The firm’s IOS Venture III LP fund raised $900M in its latest round, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing this month. Characterized as properties outside of city limits meant for trucks and other storage, IOS facilities remain in hot demand even after a pandemic-induced boom in e-commerce has partially subsided. The asset class offers low capital expenditures and a relatively high 8% rate of return, Bisnow previously reported. IOS is expected to grow to a $200B sector this year." "Alterra, known for its multifamily and office projects, has been capitalizing on the growing IOS market for four years. The group hit $524M at the close of its previous fund in 2022, surpassing a $400M goal, in partnership with New York-based private equity firm Park Madison Partners, Bisnow reported at the time." https://lnkd.in/g2_n9ewW #unitedstates #IOS #industrial
