How long have you been working in commercial real estate?
What was your first CRE transaction?
What was your most memorable CRE transaction?
My colleague Nathan Shor and I helped assemble two off-market parcels for a new construction lease with a national convenience store operator.
Although we have been working on the deal for nearly two years and are waiting for one of the parcels to close, it has been very exciting to see everything come together. The two properties are much more valuable when combined so even though our client was the buyer it was also rewarding to see both property owners maximize the value of their respective properties by selling at the same time.
