Jack Mullen Speaks to Financial Executives on “Demand-Side Risk in the Office Sector”

Westport, CT (April 30, 2015) – Jack Mullen, Founder and Managing Director of Summer Street Advisors, LLC (“SSA”), recently hosted the first event in his 2015 Roundtable Series at the Yale Club in New York City.

After a brief introductory and networking breakfast session, Mr. Mullen presented “Demand-Side Risk in the Office Sector,” which focused on the relationship between job growth and office space demand, a renewed focus on efficiency in office space build-outs and the overall effects of “work/life balance” trends in the workforce, including working closer to home and the rising popularity of ‘virtual offices’. An interactive dialogue followed, focusing on office investment strategies and how to project the progression of Class A office leasing over the next 5 to 10 years.

“The group discussion actually mirrors an executive session,” commented Mullen. “The roundtable approach gives attendees from across the industry a chance to share insights and opinions as part of an open, collaborative exchange.”

The SSA Roundtable Series continues to grow, with participants from leading financial institutions, including Paradigm Financial Partners, The Bancorp Bank, NorthStar Realty Finance, and Debtwire.
