COVER STORY, DECEMBER 2009

SOUTHEAST OUTLOOK 2010
Jon Ross

In preparation for the new year, Southeast Real Estate Business has taken the temperature of key markets across the region, measuring how they’ve handled the challenges of 2009 and how brokers will embrace opportunities that will crop up in the next 12 months. Across the region, industrial real estate is, for the most part, doing well. In Charleston, South Carolina, residents are counting the days until Boeing opens its new plant. Developers in Clarksville, Tennessee, are scrambling to build new facilities for an expected onslaught of manufacturing companies. Retail, however, is slumping, and office has few bright spots.

This issue provides an accurate assessment of where the industry stands, what challenges exist and what’s in store for 2010.
