Roundtable transcript on real estate finance now available

Several weeks ago, I participated in one of the regular roundtable discussions hosted by the folks at the California Real Estate Journal.

The topic for this discussion -- which was published on May 26th in a separate section -- was on real estate finance, chiefly for commercial real estate projects. Functioning mostly as an economic advisor, my name was suggested by Beacon Economics' Chris Thornberg as a way to provide an alternative voice to the roundtable.

Other participants included Paul Brindley (Holiday Fenoglio Fowler), Lewis G. Feldman (Goodwin Procter), Joseph Foreman (Bond Street Capital Cos.), Holli Leon (PNC ARCS), Heidi McKibben (Fannie Mae) and D. Eric Remensperger (Proskauer Rose).
