ATLANTIC CITY--The Strategic Alliance, a group of eight real estate-related professional companies, recently presented, “Preparing for the Recovery – Are You Ready?” at the Atlantic Builders Convention in Atlantic City.
A panel of developers, builders, a state senator, sales/marketing and finance experts discussed the current state of the economy and the future of the industry.
Speakers included Senator Robert M. Gordon, 38th District, Bergen County; Tom Troy, senior vice president of Sharbell Development Corp; Peter Porraro, senior managing director of Trammell Crow Residential; as well as Alliance members Charles Kauffman, Jr., president of C.H. Kauffman & Associates, Inc.; and Bill Becker, president of The William E. Becker Organization.
“Attendees at the seminar were optimistic about the changes coming to the industry,” stated Feinberg. “Banks are just beginning to loosen up funding, and state programs are being established to stimulate the economy and help builders.”
In addition to the seminar, Strategic Alliance members also met with builders and developers at an exhibit booth to discuss current projects.
“Many builders who attended the show are starting to see some movement in the industry,” added Feinberg. “There are more companies and developers looking for land opportunities and starting to plan for the recovery.”
The Alliance was formed in 2009 to offer builders and developers a full range of real estate-related services. The companies in the Alliance include Feinberg & Associates, an architectural design firm; Joseph L. Di Bernardo & Associates, a real estate acquisition and development consulting firm; C.H.
