Annemarie DiCola, Trepp LLC
What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2013?
I was very proud to be honored by Sokol Media as one of the "Top Women in Real Estate" 2013. I served as their "cover model" as well as the keynote speaker at their annual awards dinner. I was proud to be part of this annual publication's celebration of women in real estate, which is also a reason I proudly serve as a Director on the Board of NYCREW.
What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2013?
Creation and launch of TreppPort, a joint venture between Trepp and The Rockport Group ( the leading provider of commercial mortgage lending and asset management software), for which I serve as Co-Chairperson. TreppPort provides an enterprise-wide commercial real estate platform for institutions' acquisitions, surveillance and risk management of commercial real estate assets. By allowing investors and lenders to manage their global holdings end-to-end,the platform is a game-changer.
What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2014?
Strong levels of continued lending in the United States, more activity picking up in non-gateway cities, and CMBS issuance to exceed $100 billion. Also: creative new uses of existing, older commercial properties, coupled with more technologically advanced methods of building new ones.
What are your resolutions for 2014?
Keep things simple!
