Event Description:
As commercial strata gains popularity, questions surrounding profitability, affordability, and sustainability continue to rise. This breakfast panel will dig into the framework around commercial strata as it becomes a bigger player in our market. They will take a closer look at the impact this sector has on stakeholders from owners, managers, to tenants and their future work force.
The panel will address questions including:
• What are the new fundamentals and expectations for the future of office and industrial real estate?
• How do we rethink and reconfigure the space plan and design?
• How do we justify $2,200 PFS in office strata when we need at least $100 in net rental rate to get a positive yield?
• As industrial strata units have doubled from $200 PSF to now $450 PSF, who is buying them and why?
Join us as we take an early-morning dive into the world of commercial real estate—discussing everything from how strata works for office spaces, to how to properly market commercial opportunities. Our expert panel will explore these issues and more, with Norm Taylor from CBRE leading what’s sure to be an informative conversation.
