FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manhattan, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 10, 2011 -- According to Bruce Sturman of Maxal there's no doubt that the mood of participants in the commercial real estate market coming out of 2010 was significantly more positive than it was when we exited 2009. The capital markets for lending are in much better condition than they were a year ago, and underlying real estate fundamentals have firmed up. Rent concessions, in both the commercial and residential markets, are down significantly and vacancy rates have appeared to stabilize. These developments are all very positive.
