ComReal Miami and BBU Bank co-hosted CIASF's 2009 First Annual Retail Market Report this afternoon at 9500 Doral Blvd. in Doral. Steve Smith, president of ComReal and owner of the 9500 building, completed a remarkable renovation in 6 months and signed BBU Bank as the anchor tenant.
The 120 attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch, a round of "haves and wants", and a presentation on the 2009 Retail Report by David Dabby, JD, MAI, a well know real estate analyst. Following his presentation was a panel discussion by Steven Gretenstein, Chief Operating Officer, Dacra,and Mindy McIlroy, Executive Vice President, Terranova Corporation.
The bottom line for brokers representing retail tenants? If you have tenants bring them to the table to make a deal. Old rules do not necessarily apply today. Retail is driven by consumer spending and it seems as if consumer spending will take a while to recover.
