Editor’s Letter

Maybe it’s my past work with a then-international trade association and my undying love of travel, but I’ve always believed that the world is interconnected, and that we can all affect and learn from each other.

I think the last couple of years have proven me right.

That’s why I’m excited to present our International issue, with articles and conversations about the similarities and differences in the real estate sector around the globe. In our cover feature, current RICS president Ann Gray tells us about global standards and trends, while Ferguson Partners President Gemma Burgess discusses the different definitions of sustainability here in the U.S. and elsewhere (and I’m totally thrilled to include C-suite women!). Also look for features on a new project in the Middle East, current investment opportunities and an important mid-year overview of all the changes in the commercial sector.

Our columnists, too, offer their views on the importance of easements, preparing for hurricane season (it’s here, folks) and the need for more women in construction.

The world is open again in many ways, and I can’t wait to see what globalization brings.
