2022 Women in Commercial Real Estate: Jillian Graham, New England Real Estate Journal

Jillian Graham
Production Manager
New England Real Estate Journal

In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
The last year has been a busy year here at the New England Real Estate Journal. One of my proudest accomplishments would have to be coordinating and creating these special Women spotlights – Women in Construction and Women in Commercial Real Estate. There is a lot of time and effort put in by myself and the whole team at NEREJ and they are some of our most read issues each year. I am also rather proud to have been promoted to the production manager here at the Journal.

Who is a woman leader you find to be inspiring and why?
It’s been said many times already, but I agree – Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Her legacy and the work she did for human rights will never be forgotten. She fought for the people until her very last day. I also have to give a shout out to the number one women in my life, my mum. She is my best friend, mentor and one of the strongest women I know.  She taught me to be strong and stand up for myself in all aspects of life. I owe her (and my dad) for my dedicated work ethic. If I can be even half the woman she is, I will have succeeded in life.

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.

The 2024 CRE markets: “The Ups” (industrial) and “The Downs” (Boston class B/C office) - by Webster Collins

The industrial markets have never been stronger. What has happened is that the build out of Devens with new high-tech biotech manufacturing with housing to service these buildings serves as the connector required to really make the I-495 West market sizzle. Worcester has been the beneficiary
