After Hours with CGI

Posted on October 31, 2018

In October we logged some hours out of the office, both celebrating and being celebrated for continued progress in the multifamily industry, and for the exceptional style and unique value we offer the communities and partners that we are serving. Below are some photos from the fun events, in case you missed them.

The Opal Group Presents the Family Office & Private Wealth Management Forum West

Napa, CA

Our Co-Founder, Adrian Goldstein,  was called to be a real estate expert on the panel called “Real Estate Investing: Building, Balancing and Tweaking Your Portfolio”. Other speakers included Mike Hubbell (Portland Development Group), W. Michael Bennett (Cadence Capital Partners), Tim Blair (Shannon Walkchack, LLC) and the panel was moderated by William Lappas from Woodbridge Capital Partners.

Adrian’s knowledge of the multi-family sector and niche US markets was well-received with many questions from the audience. He captivated them and sparked laughter with his unique blend of humor and incredible insight. More and more, investors are looking to be educated and involved in their investments and are genuinely interested in their funds being used to improving communities and lives of others. Both panelists and audience members shared that they believe in multi-family as a sector that will remain steady in years to come, ahead of the real estate cycle.

Best Bosses | Here are Real Estate Forum’s picks for Best Bosses in 2023.

The last year has not been easy for the head of a commercial real estate company. Inflation and the Fed’s response, as well as trends that emerged from the pandemic, have clearly had an impact on the industry across all of the sectors. Besides the effect of, say, ongoing remote work on the beleaguered office asset class or the slowing pace of rent increases in multifamily, these executives have also had to navigate an increasingly difficult capital markets environment. I have some bad news for this group: the near-term future doesn’t look any easier. Enter our selection of Best Bosses this year. This year’s picks were made at least in part based on their resiliency and ability to position their companies for future growth, whenever that might occur. We are confident these strengths will see them through what could be choppy waters ahead.
