The Biltmore Los Angeles
The economic climate is forcing companies to make changes to the way they do business and how they approach their real estate needs. The Los Angeles Business Journal hosted an in-person Real Estate Trends event with mid-year panel discussions. Topics included an Update from the Commercial Brokerage Community, Development, Construction and Architecture Trends in LA, and Economic Development/Projects within Los Angeles County.
We heard from some of the region’s most respected real estate experts including tenant and landlord reps, developers, architects, real estate attorneys, and accounting experts to share their outlook and real estate guidance to businesses.
