Grubb & Ellis 2010 Market Forecast
Grubb & Ellis / The Winbury Group hosted a Commercial Real Estate Forecast Event Tuesday morning at the Downtown Marriott. The breakfast event featured a prestigious panel of speakers including Bradley Scott of B.M. Scott & Associates, LLC, Mark Jorgenson of US Bank, and Terry Dunn of JE Dunn Construction Group, Inc.
The panel was moderated by Chris Lester of the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. The CEO of Grubb & Ellis / The Winbury, Bryan Johnson delivered the opening remarks to the large audience and introduced Grubb & Ellis’ Chief Economist, Robert Bach. Bach delivered a National Market Forecast focusing on forces driving national real estate recovery (or lack thereof) such as geopolitical influences, job creation, and lending. While the outlook for the overall economy appears foggy short term, the feedback was much more positive for the Kansas City market. The overall sentiment from both Robert Bach and the panel was that Kansas City was sheltered from much of the extreme overvaluations of real estate and should land much more softly. The panel of self- proclaimed optimists wanted to portray as positive an outlook as they could, but warned that this recession maybe a “W” rather than and “L” or “V” shape and that we may have another serious dip prior to long term recovery.
Judy Peery, Bob Bach, and Brent Hansen enjoyed networking during the breakfast prior to the forecasting event.
