Joe Derhake, CEO of Partner Engineering and Science, Inc., has been invited to speak at the upcoming RealShare New York event, to be held at the Roosevelt Hotel on October 14, 2015. Derhake’s presentation will explore the risks and opportunities that new technologies will create within the CRE industry.
In this thought-provoking discussion, Derhake focuses on driverless car technology, encouraging his audience to think about how it is expected to change the highest and best use of assets in urban environments, what elements in a portfolio are directly at risk of obsolescence and what new opportunities this resents for adaptive reuse or value-add projects.
Derhake will also discuss some interesting findings obtained during a recent industry survey conducted in collaboration with GlobeSt and Partner.
RealShare New York is one of the organization’s most prolific event, which attracts over 400 professionals from across the real estate development industry. For more information, please see here.
