Join HinkinsREA at the annual economic forecast and a lively conversation with the mayors of San Francisco and Oakland, who will share their visions for their cities and the region. Each year we ask the mayors of these two closely situated cities in the heart of the Bay Area to present an inside look into the challenges and opportunities that are influencing their thinking as they guide their cities forward. We are seeing positive economic signs on the horizon. A booming tech sector, robust hospitality industry, strong ties to Asia, sports team moves and momentum in the real estate and construction sector all make for an exciting future! We'll hear the mayors' priorities for the coming year, what will drive growth of jobs and the economy, how they will address the concerns and opportunities for the business and development communities - and what's keeping them up at night. The program will open with expert views on the 2014 outlook for financial and real estate
Real Estate has long been among the most popular of all investment options, and for good reason. The potential benefits of commercial real estate investment include tax advantages, stable income, portfolio diversification, as well as capital preservation and growth.
