What's up Calculated Investors. 

Kim Kardashian gets fined over $1M by the SEC for promoting securities.  Where she tripped up?  Not disclosing that she was PAID $250k for the social media post that promoted a crypto token. 

Even though this has nothing to do with commercial real estate, I think it serves as an important reminder that the SEC should not be trifled with.  Clean up your communications with passive investors.  No reason to poke the SEC beehive. 

Vacancy rates continue to climb for office space in major cities.  Remote work and affordability are only going to continue to hurt this sector. A major business district in Chicago is switching gears to convert offices into multifamily redevelopment. 

I'm seeing this as well in my own neighborhood.  A major mall / retail outlet is being redeveloped into a mix use, multifamily apartment + senior housing + parking garage megacenter.  Active investors and ground up developers are about to get awfully creative.
