Tucker's 2 Cents - What industries to focus on for 2009:

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent

Hey everyone!  While revising my annual commercial real estate business and marketing plan, it seemed beneficial for me to gather opinions of other people from my professional industry.  This post is focused on my target customers for 2009 and I would be very interested to hear your thoughts and comments on the same topic.

For 2009 I will be focusing much of my efforts on the following industries:

  • Alternative Energies - There have been accounts of numerous new companies, projects and ventures in the alternative energy field.  All of which may need facilities, land and/or office space.

  • Emerging Technologies - There is a renewed focus on growth and innovation for our country and the local government is behind this movement.  We may see a burst of new companies with innovative technologies and services that may have property needs in the near future.

  • Health Care Services - Always a tried-and-true industry health care is constantly on the rise, especially with the influx of the baby-boomers and the growth of our population.  There are several things happening within this industry, many companies are consolidating and there is growth in many areas as well.

  • Infrastructure Growth Areas - The new administration is being tasked with jump starting our economy by increasing consumer confidence.  One way they plan on doing that is by spending government money to create jobs on infrastructure projects such as road improvements, bridges and public buildings.  Architectural, construction, and engineering companies should see growth.

  • Services for Senior Citizens - There is a growing need for housing for our retiree and elderly citizens, as evident with the trends associated with the baby-boomer generation.  In addition, with the increase of people entering this age group the result will be a need for more services, thusly more staff and more facilities.

These are just a few of the areas that I believe will have an increased need for my services, although I‘m open to helping any business in any industry!

Where are you focusing your efforts for 2009?
