2018 is going to be the year of CRE. It’s been a fun time to date but now is when we get serious. The cards are finally all lined up to be knocked right down. This is the year we finally develop a single…
…definition of what CRE is!
It’s going to be a big year, folks. Just imagine being able to easily explain what we do in this field. Can you imagine it?
Is CRE for offices different than CRE for industrial different than CRE for healthcare? Is CRE largely the same as architecture in many ways? How closely are the worlds of brokers, lease admins, facility managers, workplace strategists, portfolio managers, and project managers actually linked? Can we finally agree on Corporate Real Estate versus Commercial Real Estate?
Without this definition, it will be impossible to develop consistent standards across this industry.
