04-11-2014 - Consolo of Douglas Elliman to speak at WNRC

Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of Douglas Elliman's Retail Group will deliver "Retail After Bloomberg," at the next Women's National Republican Club's (WNRC) Showcase Luncheon on April 11th, from noon to 2 p.m. at the club's headquarters, 3 West 51st St., between Fifth and Sixth Aves. In her talk, she will provide an overview of the previous administration's advocacy of retail businesses, while making a critical case for open market commercial leasing; addressing the unintended consequences of regulating commercial rents and space criteria. "I believe in the power of the marketplace," said Consolo. "For more than 20 years, our city has embraced small and big businesses alike. Its policies helped us prevail in a down economy and bolstered an earlier than expected recovery. I hope that we continue to see this kind of positive growth for years to come." Consolo is one of the country's leading retail real estate consultants and works with businesses coast-to-coast, as well as business improvement districts, chambers of commerce and government agencies on everything from introducing new brands to retail roll-outs and re-positioning emerging neighborhoods.
