CCIM - Silicon Valley District Meeting: Nov 19, 2008

Here's another plug for the CCIM - Silicon Valley District.

The next CCIM Silicon Valley meeting will be on Wednesday, November 19th at the UCSC Extension campus in Sunnyvale (1180 Bordeaux Drive). The meeting will run from 8:30 - 10:30 AM with networking from 8:30 - 9:00 AM.

Please note that because of the Thanksgiving holiday, the meeting will be held a week earlier and on a Wednesday instead of the normal Tuesday. (As always there should be coffee, muffins and pastries, but no turkey.)

The speakers will be:

Nanci Klein from San Jose Economic Development. Nanci will be speaking about the future growth of San Jose including “Envision 2040” which is the general plan update currently underway. She will also talk about all the exciting development going on in downtown and north San Jose.

Jeff Birdwell from Sares Regis. The Sares Regis Group is one of the largest most diversified real estate companies in the Western United States. They develop, acquire, build and manage a variety of commercial properties. Jeff will speak about leasing and development trends, construction costs, challenges encountered in the development process and working with different cities (why some are easier to work with than others). He will also address the financing environment for new projects and his vision for the future of Bay Area projects.

Comments are always appreciated. Thanks for reading.
