Northern New England Cocktails & Conversations
Dear Readers and Subscribers,
In 1963 the New England Real Estate Journal (NEREJ) started publication under the guidance of founder Roland Hopkins. NEREJ was one of the first trade journals for the commercial real estate industry in New England. The NEREJ mission is to bring news to the market for professionals in the industry to follow commercial real estate market trends.
Since the first publication, the industry has used NEREJ as a tool for keeping up with what companies and projects are developing in the New England market. You could say that NEREJ was the first commercial real estate publication to embrace the social media format.
Since NEREJ's beginning, the industry has evolved. NEREJ continues to change and grow to meet our readers needs. NEREJ is still a primary source of information for the New England market. Since 1963 we continue to add media sources to keep our readers up to date and facilitate the relationships with others in the industry.
In addition to our world class paper, NEREJ is excited to showcase: our newly revamped website, a weekly digital edition, the Daily RECap newsletter, and an expanding social media department. Our weekly NEREJRadio show is featured on NEREJ.com and on two Greater Boston radio stations, iTunes, and UR Business Network. You can also view our shows on our YouTube channel which currently has over 130 videos.
Working with industry associations and holding our Cocktail & Conversations networking events is currently our latest service. These well-received events bring back the face-to-face interaction and relationship building for all who attend.
Rick Kaplan, Radio Host, New England Real Estate Journal, Norwell, Mass.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?
New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

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
