Over the last 16 months we have lived and worked in unprecedented times. No sector of the commercial real estate industry has escaped completely unscathed. Some sectors, including the Net Lease market, have weathered COVID better than others.
Buoyed by the optimism of increasing vaccination levels and the opening of central business districts and main street across the country, many investors and advisors are looking forward to the days ahead. Yet as always there are questions that have yet to be asked and answered, sentiments that remain unchecked.
It is against this backdrop that we will convene our 7th Annual National Net Lease Summit. Through a full day of programming, along with networking opportunities, you will have access to recognized experts who will offer their insights and perspectives that can guide and direct you in plotting your own course of action for the balance of 2021 and into 2022.
