As technology changes the way people live, work and commute, investors are increasingly looking to invest in buildings with a high percentage of flexible space, reports GlobeSt. In fact, JLL recently noted that office flex grew by 29% in 2017, and is likely to grow by more than 25% in 2018.
Just Closed! $1.5M SBA 504 Loan for Retail Space in New York

Industrial Construction to Swell in Chicago
Similar to the national market, Chicago has seen record-breaking industrial construction in the last few years, including finishing 19 million SF in 2016 and 22.6 million SF in 2017.
