It’s been talked about for a while now (and we’ve talked about it before) – downtowns are on the rise. In the most recent issue of Midwest Real Estate News, the editor wrote about people, specifically millennials, wanting to live downtown.
“They want to live in a walkable community, one in which they can get to theaters, bars, retails and public transportation without having to jump in a car.
The best news? This is a trend that doesn’t look to be slowing. City officials continue to pur dollars into downtowns across the Midwest, Making these areas more attractive, to younger resident and older ones alike.”
This is a trend that everyone in commercial real estate needs to keep an eye out for – and one that we are discussing a the 2014 Fall Summit in Chicago. Affiliates will be discussing Revitalization and Reurbanization and how it impacts commercial real estate.
