Lot Storage: The Developing Problem

ARA’s Continuing Education Series

This month’s topic:

With Special Guest, Commercial Real Estate Expert Richard Warren, First VP CBRE

ARA is committed to helping our members thrive in business, and navigating this challenging business environment is part of that.

Storage issues are nothing new to recovery professionals, but it is now one of the top pain points for recovery business owners and their employees.

With 35% of recovery companies shuttering because of COVID and a shaky economy, recovery services are in high demand. Recovery professionals are having to close lots and are forced to turn business away which will have a detrimental impact on the economy.

Meanwhile, real estate prices have skyrocketed making it impossible for many recovery business owners to expand their storage offerings.

In order to solve this developing problem, we must first understand the problem and what has caused it.

Join ARA Executive Director Tony Long and ARA board member (and recovery business owner) Jeremy Cross for a discussion with industrial commercial real estate expert Richard Warren on Wednesday November 15th at 2 pm EST (1 pm CST).
