    Baby Boomers are currently one of the most influential generational cohorts in the marketplace, there are currently approximately 79 million Baby Boomers, making up about 1/3 of the country’s population. An aging population and their impending retirement will have major implications for the commercial real estate industry. The upswing in demand coming from Baby Boomers includes more affordable housing, accessibility and a range of housing options.

  • PANEL: PLACEMAKING
    According to the Brookings Institute: After decades of sprawl and suburban dominance, U.S. cities are experiencing rebounding populations, growing employment, and new public and private sector investments. These trends are creating an upshot of shifting demographics, household structures, and market preferences driving higher demand for areas that are walkable, amenity‐rich, and which facilitate collaboration among firms and workers.
