September 26, 2023
What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? This is a difficult market – and many are long on space. While sometimes traditional subleasing is the best path, I have successfully developed creative alternative deal structures for several customers – some closed and some on the path to closure. There is no better partnership than working hard in tough times.

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? We all know the saying “time kills deals” and have felt the frustration of a good deal withering on the vine.

What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? The market has changed dramatically for office space in the years since 2020.
