Bi-Coastal ICSC Update
 Last week Capital Pacific was busy pounding the carpeted aisles of convention centers in Charlotte, NC and Monterey, CA for annual ICSC conventions in these two cities.The conferences gave Capital Pacific agents a chance to meet with buyers, sellers, developers and other brokers on both coasts. The mood at both conventions? Surprisingly upbeat, given the current market. Attendance was also relatively strong. But what has changed at ICSC conferences in 2009 is that the fluff is gone. Today, the the tchotchkes and the dinner parties are irrelevant. Attendees are extremely focused, and interested in one thing: dealmaking. From our perspective this is a positive development, because each meeting is more focused, and ultimately more productive. The next major conference that Capital Pacific will attend is ICSC Las Vegas, May 17-20. Please contact us to set up a meeting if you are planning to attend. |
