CRE Developers and Investors: Finding Safety During Uncertain Times

The economic turmoil of the pandemic has undeniably impacted the commercial real estate sector around the nation. However, no two regions have experienced the same impact.

In his recent article titled “CRE Developers and Investors; Finding Safety During Uncertain Times” for the Silicon Valley Business Journal, Urban Catalyst Founder Erik Hayden breaks down the four fundamentals that the real estate community and investors alike must take into account when searching for safe havens during economic downturns, which are:
