Real Estate: Turning on a Dime
Identifying and negotiating for new space is often an agonizingly slow process. Does it have to be? Not always. In this presentation, Paul Wolf from Denham Wolf Real Estate Services will demonstrate how one can navigate complex real estate decisions under extreme pressure. Using New York City Opera’s recent move from Lincoln Center to Lower Manhattan as an example, he’ll walk us (speedily) through the real estate leasing process from planning through ribbon cutting.
