Bruce Wettenstein, SIOR takes Part in Conference Focused on 
“Revolutionizing Commercial Real Estate”

Technology, market trends and networking with 900 real estate professionals from around the wand highlight professional conference of the Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS

 Easton, CT   December 2000 - Bruce Wettenstein, SIOR, a commercial real estate professional with Vidal/Wettenstein, LLC of Westport, CT recently attended the Annual Fall Professional Conference of the Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS® in Denver, Colorado. 

The Society, based in Washington, D.C is an international professional organization of 2,700 commercial real estate professionals, 1,950 of whom have earned the coveted SIOR designation, which stands for “Specialist, Industrial and Office Real Estate.”  Wettenstein, an SIOR for 12 years, is a specialist in industrial property.

 The conference theme, “Beyond the Summit: Revolutionizing Commercial Real Estate,” was a natural, said Mr. Wettenstein - “and not just because the meeting was located in the foothills of the Rockies.”

 “Times are as good as they can be in office and industrial real estate,” he explained. “At the same time, Society members who have earned the SIOR designation are by definition at the top of their field. Our goal, as members of the Society, is to go beyond today’s prosperity and gear up for the revolution that is sweeping the economy and commercial real estate. This conference was part of our drive to be more than participants in the revolution.  We aim to be ‘agents for change.’”

 Wettenstein said educational sessions during the Oct. 28 to 30 conference focused on ‘Web-Based Site Selection,” “Tenant Representation,” “Warehouse Site Selection” “Marketing for the New Millennium,” “International Brokerage Opportunities,” “Leading Edge Presentation Techniques,” and “Fiber Optic Connectivity Issues for Users and Owners.”  Mr. Wettenstein said one educational session by Univ. of North Carolina Prof. Jim Smith — entitled “Gloom, Doom, and then the Long Boom” — was a non-consensus view of the next turn in the economy.

 The conference also marked the kick-off of an ENERGY STAR® alliance between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Society, said Wettenstein. Through the alliance, the EPA will produce SIOR ENERGY STAR courses that arm SlORs with expertise in the art and science of saving energy in buildings. “The goal is to enhance environmental quality and improve the bottom line of real estate,” said Bruce.  Recipients of the SIOR ENERGY STAR certification are commercial real estate “energy experts,” qualified to advise their clients in energy saving techniques and much more.

 The Society also unveiled plans to move its highly respected annual study of commercial real estate — Comparative Statistics of Industrial and Office Real Estate Markets — to the World Wide Web. “We will forego the printed version and offer the year 2001 edition solely on the Web,” said Wettenstein. “This will make the data more widely available to the commercial real estate community and will broadly demonstrate the local market expertise of SIOR professionals.” 

The study for 2001 will be released early next year and will include analyses and forecasting by John L. Glascock, Ph.D., a professor at The George Washington University. The data for the new study are being gathered right now. Since 1980, Society members have compiled data on office and industrial property conditions for local markets across the country and since 1986 from around the world. Last year’s study reported on the performance and outlook of 128 office markets and 136 industrial markets throughout the United States as well as markets in Canada, Mexico, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

 “This is the most comprehensive market survey of both office and industrialproperties,” said Wettenstein.

 Networking was an important part of this conference of 900 attendees.  Mr. Wettenstein said, “The SIOR membership represents a powerful network.  SIORs work in 800 offices in 450 cities worldwide and this broad web greatly benefits our clients — owners, developers and tenants. By having SIOR designees on both sides of the transaction, clients benefit from the professionalism, market knowledge and high standards of ethics that distinguish the practice of an SIOR designee.”

 During the conference, the Society illustrated the power of the SIOR network by presenting the annual “Cooperative Transactions” awards. Sixteen SIORs were honored highlighting transactions in which Society members participated on both sides of a commercial real estate transaction, working with each other to benefit their clients.

 During 2000, more than 450 Society members participated in at least one cooperative transaction. Altogether, they sold or leased through cooperative transactions more than 24.5 million square feet of property, for a total dollar volume in excess of $854 million.

 SIOR designees, like Mr. Wettenstein are “the professional’s professionals” in commercial real estate and form an elite global network of commercial real estate practitioners. SIORs are top producers who must be recertified every three years. Recertification assures those who need the services of a commercial real estate professional that the SIOR has achieved and maintained excellence in the field. Members must have a minimum of five years in the industry, complete prescribed educational courses, adhere to a legally binding code of ethics as well as demonstrate proficiency by completing a specified number and dollar volume of transactions. Individuals who hold the SIOR designation work throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and overseas. They represent more than 800 offices in 450 cities.
