It’s finally here! Gary Rappaport’s comprehensive third edition of Investing in Retail Properties is available to order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indie Bound, Target, and Walmart. In his book, published by Forbes, Gary Rappaport shares his roadmap – built on integrity, hard work, patience, and a healthy tolerance for risk – so that others who are ready to take risks can succeed in commercial real estate. What’s more, Gary has earmarked 100% of his book royalties to the ICSC Foundation, the charitable arm of ICSC, dedicated to creating a vibrant retail and real estate industry by building a pipeline of bright, ambitious, and diverse talent that can drive the industry forward. And just in time for one of our favorite events of the year: ICSC Mid-Atlantic!
ICSC Mid-Atlantic is always an industry event to look forward to as we see who is making an impact on retail right in our own backyard. This year’s conference is set to be a success thanks to the hard work and dedication of this year’s ICSC Mid-Atlantic Planning Committee led by Chair Alex Sheil, a former Rappaport broker, now with H&R Retail and Co-chair Dee Singletary, Rappaport’s VP of Marketing.
With nearly 1,000 attendees and 90 exhibitors present, including Rappaport tenants like First Watch, Hair Cuttery, Orangethory Fitness, and Subway, this year’s conference has been one-of-a-kind. Our retail clients are thriving and represent the best in the industry.
First Watch had a fantastic opportunity to present at Thursday’s Retailer Runway. As with many of our tenants, their growth has been incredible over the years, and we’re thrilled to see them succeed.
Other highlights included a Keynote Address by Greg Lindsay on the future of the downtown office economy, hearing the latest on exciting new projects at the Developer Runway, a discussion on emerging economic patterns at the Capital Markets Trends talk, and a productive Networking Reception.
We also had the pleasure of attending the Breakfast with Women in CRE: Retrospectives & Fresh Perspectives. The event was an excellent opportunity to learn from some of the most influential women in the industry. It was inspiring to see how much they have accomplished and how they continue to contribute to the industry.
The ICSC Mid-Atlantic conference has been a fantastic opportunity for Rappaport’s Trusted Retail Advisors to connect with our retailers and other professionals in the industry. We’ve been thrilled to witness our clients and peers excel during this event and are excited to see what the future holds for the industry. Our dedicated retail advisors continue to work hard to drive our clients’ success and make each event meaningful. The best part is, the deal-making continues all throughout the conference, and it’s not too late to stop by our booth #501 to visit our dedicated retail advisors!
