When it comes to women in the world of commercial real estate, the barriers have been real and hard to overcome — and that was before the pandemic took its toll. A Commercial Real Estate Women Network survey last year found nearly 40% of women said the pandemic stalled their career progress, with less access to mentors and more responsibility for childcare and schooling.
This episode of Bisnow Reports is coming to you from our New York City Women Leading Real Estate Cocktail & Awards event. This year Bisnow honored 48 female leaders, whose expertise and experience span the industry.
