July 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Business, Media
Second-quarter leasing numbers from New York are in. They’re not pretty. You either knew that, or you don’t care, but that’s not the point of this post.
This is the point of this post: Haha, some commercial brokers from New York should stick to selling space, not crafting analogies in which NFL also-rans totally dominate the [...]
