Join us on Tuesday, December 15th from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. for an informative presentation followed by a Q&A session with professional commercial real estate experts. Gordon Hester, President and CEO of Kiemle Hagood will be joined by legal experts Rob Brunett and Taudd Hume from WBM | Witherspoon Brajcich McPhee to discuss the common impacts on commercial real estate caused by the COVID-19 public health emergency.
As businesses in the U.S. economy face their biggest challenge since the 2007-2009 Great Recession, both tenants and landlords are caught in a delicate situation. When a business is forced to close suddenly, even if it's temporarily, the tenant cannot produce rent, meaning a landlord may have difficulty paying a mortgage (if there is one). There are no winners in this situation. We will discuss viable alternatives to mitigate these situations.
