What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2014? - Steven Kelly of Timberline Construction Corp.
I've had the good fortune of supporting an organization of great Americans, the Mass Fallen Heroes (MFH). In September 2014, MFH celebrated the groundbreaking for a permanent memorial dedicated to veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Iraq and Afghanistan war and their Gold Star families. The memorial's prime location in Boston's Seaport Square Park, the heart of the Innovation District, was made possible through the philanthropy of John Hynes and Boston Global Investments. I'm thankful that our newly elected mayor Marty Walsh has supported this mission the past seven years. I respect his leadership and commitment to veterans' needs. I'm proud of Timberline's accomplishments supporting MFH by providing guidance in design, construction and strategic planning, while providing physical space to support fundraising efforts. Working with these veterans, including my brothers Greg, a U.S. Marine and Green Beret and Ed, of the U.S. Air Force, is humbling and puts into perspective the sacrifices our veterans and their families make, so we may all enjoy freedoms we often take for granted. Honoring them should not be an option, but a responsibility we all share.Steven Kelly, Timberline Construction Corp.

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
