Want something that's more informative than a national political convention? And easier to get into than the DNC? Join us atBisnow's second annual Charlotte Real Estate Summit Aug. 3 at the Ritz-Carlton. (Bonus: no one has started protesting us yet.) Here's a sneak peek at our panelists. | ||
| Childress Klein retail division partner and panelist David Haggart tells us that most of the chain retailers had a good first quarter, followed by a less-than-steller second quarter, because consumer confidence hasn't firmed up enough to solidify retail sales. Conditions are better than two years ago, but not where they need to be. The employment situation, which supports consumer confidence, "has been bouncing up and down in Charlotte—two steps forward, one step back." (It's some kind of employment square dance.) | ||
Reznick Group office managing principal Josh Northcutt (right, with Reznick consulting partner Marshall Phillips) is our moderator. Other subjects that he'll toss out to panelists: the debt and equity markets and what underwriting looks like; tenant demand in each sector; and hot submarkets. Josh wants the panel to look ahead, too: what will the next 12 to 18 months bring? (And will any of them be brave enough to put money down on a Panthers Super Bowl?) | ||
