What was your greatest professional accomplishment or most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2023? Despite the challenging market for office properties, we sold thirteen office buildings and a retail strip center, putting 260+ buyers under NDA and receiving eight qualified, irrevocable bids with deposits.
