If you’re interested in attending, registration is open here: Register – Stranded Assets.

Many of New Jersey’s post-industrial regions and surrounding suburbs have an abundance of “stranded assets,” reflecting changing market demands and the functional obsolescence of many existing structures. When a community’s assets no longer serve the needs of its population, properties can become blighted and present new challenges to its residents. However, these properties can quickly be reinvigorated through thoughtful reconstruction and adaptive reuse as a community’s greatest asset. By the conclusion of this course, business owners and operators will be better empowered to understand what these stranded assets are, what can be done to repurpose them, and what these assets mean for an owner’s bottom line.

The morning’s conversations will be broken into the following segments:

• Reframing Incentives for Stranded Assets, the Government’s Role in Stranded Assets: This panel of experts will discuss assessing and repurposing stranded real estate assets in urban and suburban environments and their role as a catalyst for action.
• Driving Change and De-Risking Real Estate: This panel of experts will discuss the value of stranded assets, why they are an opportunity, their life cycle, and why increasing numbers of companies and investors are realizing that this change can extend the lifecycle of their assets, and how the perception of those assets must change as we evolve and move forward.

This distinguished panel of experts features some of the industry’s top leaders, including Michele N. Siekerka, President and CEO of NJBIA, John Hatch, partner at Clarke Caton Hintz, and George Sowa, CEO of Greater Trenton. A complete list of featured panelists can be accessed on the registration mentioned above. With groundbreaking information and a brilliant panel to match, attendees are sure to walk away equipped with the tools to forge a stronger community.
