As the second day of NAIOP’s CRE.Converge neared a close in Las Vegas, attendees had an opportunity to learn a bit about the city that will host next year’s conference: Toronto.
A devastating natural disaster, followed by a sudden (and equally devastating) recession, followed by a global pandemic. This trifecta of horrors sent Calgary into a tailspin for nearly a decade. Now the largest city in the Canadian province of Alberta is rebounding in a big way. And the commercial real estate industry not only is riding the bounce-back wave; in many ways, it’s steering it.
The ideal industrial real estate site criteria have evolved with the economy. “It’s power, power, power instead of location, location, location,” said Damon Austin, managing director, global head of customer led development, Prologis, during a session at CRE.Converge. “Power from a logistics perspective, it really is more critical than ever.”
CoworkingCafe analyzed 136 cities across various metrics such as gross domestic product (GDP), number of business applications, labor costs and more to find out which cities are the best for small businesses in 2024.
Starting a business involves juggling many factors, and while location might not be as critical as it once was due to the rise of remote work, it still plays a significant role in a startup's success. Some cities go above and beyond in fostering a supportive environment for new ventures, providing access to resources that can make or break a budding company.

It’s important for every team member to take responsibility for safety compliance, empowering others to take responsibility for not only their own actions but the actions of those around them.
Has remote work hurt employees and is it time to return to the workplace to boost social connections, receive in-person mentoring and reduce isolation? The answer may be yes, but there is also a need for employers to create supportive and well-managed workplaces.

Renshaw, head of supply chain consulting – North America, Savills North America, presented key challenges, emerging trends, and his predictions for what lies ahead at the I.CON East conference this week in Jersey City, New Jersey.
