Spring came when not only the trees started to bloom, but the real estate market as well. It appears the green shoots people in our industry saw a year ago have started to show some flowers in many locations. But, like the changing seasons, it happens at different times and speeds across various parts of North America.

In an April survey of NAIOP Forum members, the general consensus is “the future is now” or more accurately, on the horizon. The majority believe the United States economy has turned the corner and is on the road to a sustainable recovery.

Two of NAIOP’s Developing Leaders will be adding more responsibilities to their plates that include serving as key leaders in their respective firms and active involvement in their local NAIOP chapters. Kyle Nagy will step into the role of president of NAIOP Southern Nevada, while Brian Graham will take the helm as president of NAIOP Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky.
