Prior to the spread of COVID-19, ongoing and planned projects were running at full steam. With social distancing measures in place and a recession on the horizon, the real estate market is sure to undergo a significant transformation. Last week’s Trading Notes, “Shovels in the Ground: How Developers Are Preparing for the Next Step,” explored this topic with CetraRuddy founding principal John Cetra, Silverback Development managing principal Josh Schuster, and Clipper Equity executive vice president J.J. Bistricer. The three panelists, who collaborate frequently on projects in the New York metropolitan region, discussed the economic implications for the development industry, and design strategies to reduce perceived and real exposure risk for building occupants. A recording of the panel can be accessed at the Trading Notes website.
