Movement

The rhythm of life in the built environment, the ebbs and flows of how we move goods, and how we move ourselves.

Welcome to Viewpoints Fall 2024

Everything is in motion. In commercial real estate, we’re adapting to the movement around us each day — and riding the powerful waves that influence our built environments.

This issue is your all-access pass to a variety of these currents. We’re following our food from farm to fridge along the grocery cold chain, flying around the country to see how tourism is impacting hotel transactions, driving through today’s electric vehicle infrastructure dynamics, and navigating the blend of spaces where we live and work.

Jump in, buckle up, and drive through this issue with us. Let’s go.
