RealShare Boston will feature high-level executives in the Boston-area market who will address market fundamentals, the outlook for downtown and suburban investment and leasing and whether or not the Boston-area's commercial real estate market will be resilient to macroeconomic trends in our nation's economy. In the RealShare Boston "Is the Glass Half-Full or Half-Empty" discussion, Thomas Alperin of National Development, Peter Merrigan of Taurus Investment Holdings, Kevin McCall of Paradigm Capital Advisors and William McCall of McCall & Almy square off in an informative exchange on whether or not 2008 is a time to be positive or negative about the Boston market.
