News: Brokerage

Thank you to our subscribers, sponsors and advocates!

What a year! 2020 really showed us how tough we all really are.

Last March was a whirlwind of activity at the Journal. We pushed through two issues, the last “in office” issues around March 17th, 2020 and promptly shuttered the office, moving everyone (and their “offices”) home. And it was hard! But here at the Journal, we’re a family, and families stick together. We figured it out. The Journal family met weekly as a group for Friday Happy Hours, complete with spouses, kids and pets, of course! Through good times and challenging times, we get through it–and the COVID-19 Pandemic is no different.

We reached out to our subscribers, and as many companies as we could, to show our support for them. We advocated for them, printed and posted their news and byline articles. We further developed our Connect Directory into something phenomenal. (If you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for?) We brainstormed new ideas on how to support the industry through new spotlights, online events and special features. We’ve got much more coming, as we’re always evolving to bring you the best media products.

We’re looking forward to being back in the office more in the months ahead, and being all back together again. We’ve got some great events planned, and special features that we can’t wait to share. Keep an eye on our social media for some sneak peeks!

The Journal would like to take this moment to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to our subscribers, sponsors and advocates!

Walk down any New York block this year and you can feel it. The sidewalks are crowded, the storefronts are lit, and the energy that defines this city is back at full volume.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking

Hunt commercial real estate question and answer: The total cost of relocation - by David Hunt

You have a right to be concerned. I am always surprised at the companies that will negotiate the price of their new facility down to the last dollar, without thoroughly analyzing their
