The blinding
sunlight coming in on the other side of this audience
yesterday at our
Bisnow State of Southern California Retail conference was from the sand and water of the
Pacific Ocean. Amazingly, this Santa Monica crowd of over
250 remained in their places at the elegant
Casa del Mar hotel.
And why not? Two panels of illustrious SoCal retail developers and brokers said things, especially in
coastal areas, are looking mighty
fine. Note the
wicker chairs we provided them—perfect for taking right out to the
beach after the program.
