Invaluable Knowledge, Insight, Access and Networking.

A tough financing market, a pullback in expansion by retailers and uncertainty relating to the nation’s economy, have all contributed to a slower net lease market. But those in search of business can still find opportunity. Indeed, the volume of deals in the market was heading back up in the first quarter, according to Boulder Net Lease Funds L.L.C., although still-high prices and concerns about buyers’ ability to close were serving as a counter-pressure, holding a damper in place. Smaller deals have continued to take place, though, and foreign buyers have become more active, while higher capital gains could follow the presidential election, which could further drive activity. Join CPN at its annual Net Lease Summit, where leading net lease players will discuss, debate and offer predictions on whether the accumulating head of steam will soon burst, allowing net lease transaction volume to resume a steadier pace. The conference will also offer plenty of opportunity to network with your net lease colleagues.

General Session 1

Economic Face-off
Whether technically in recession or not, the U.S. economy continues to face significant challenges. Skyrocketing oil prices, rising numbers of home foreclosures and a weakening job market are a few of the problems that the country is facing. As the presidential election approaches, two leading economists debate what today’s greatest challenges are, the effects on corporate real estate and what is needed to trigger a turnaround. Prepare for a lively discussion as they challenge each other’s forecasts for what’s to come.
