WREB Developer/Owner/Manager Survey

Dear Commercial Real Estate Owner or Developer,

Western Real Estate Business is conducting a brief online survey to gauge market conditions throughout the region, and we need your help. This survey should only take a few minutes to complete. Questions range from your firm’s development and investment plans for 2013 to trends in lease negotiations to potential areas of revenue growth.

We’re also sending separate surveys to finance professionals and leasing and investment sales brokers in the Western U.S. The results will be collated and published in our January issue. Conducting these surveys is part of our mission at France Media to provide readers with indispensable information.

Sincerely,

Matt Valley
Editorial Director
Western Real Estate Business
