OUR OTHER CITIES
February 1, 2010
| It’s been a busy time for our Bisnow event division! Last week we hosted major real estate conferences in, count ’em, four different cities. (Although you could say we’re lazy, since we're publishing in six cities now.) |
 |
| On Thursday, we held our first Bisnow Dallas event, a big happy hour with the help of these fine reps of real estate powerhouses Cousins and Parmenter, which had a great 25,000 SF floor plate to show off at Preston Center.Complete with live band, big Tex Mex spread, and 20 uniformed parking valets, the party attracted 450 even in the biggest storm of the year. (If getting 450 people to a building you're marketing sounds useful, contact us about hosting a party.) The building’s in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city.Jerry Jones, Mark Cuban, and George W. live within blocks of it, but evidently were doing something else that night. |
 |
| Apropos of nothing but our nosiness, we ventured to the floor above our Dallas party to walk around the world HQ of Match.com, which has these TVs running full-time with old romantic movies. |
 |
| And an employee cafeteria that looks designed for a little inter-office romance. We took pics so we can copy it at Bisnow. Even though it was only 5 PM, everyone was gone—we gather already out on dates. |
 |
| On Friday Bisnow DC hosted 400 at the Willard Intercontinental for top speakers on GSA—which keeps Washington humming these days. Top GSA and DC officials, plus leaders from Brookfield, Perkins+Will, Beacon Capital, Jones Lang, Trammell Crow, and Reznick Group agreed: It’s nice to be in the nation’s capital when it’s spending money. |
 |
| On Wednesday, Bisnow Chicago held an event in Big Willie, aka Willis Tower, aka Sears Tower, aka don't look down if you get queasy. |
 |
| You recall our sixth Bisnow NYC conference on W. 44th Tuesday.“On the mend” was the headline for the morning, suggested by panelist and NY investment sales king Woody Heller of Studley. If you were smart enough to escape to Florida that day, you can read about it here. (Next time we'll bring the whole event down there and join you.) |
