  • Business Sold, Retain Real Estate? December 2, 2025
    The Background:I provide location advice to owners and occupants of industrial real estate in Southern California. Frequently, this advice results in a company buying a building to occupy. With prices at historic lows and cheap financing, this in many cases can result in a "rental" rate cheaper than a market rental rate. The "rental rate" […]
  • CRE Thanks! November 28, 2025

You see, we attended the fall conference for the Society of Industrial and Office […]

    I must admit, I used to be a huge baseball fan. The crescendo of my fandom occurred in 2002 when the Angels prevailed over the Giants in the seventh game of the World Series. I couldn’t imagine it ever being any better than that season, so my interest waned. Last night, I found myself tuning […]
