In this episode of the Deconstructed: The Future of CRE podcast, host Vivek Kartha is joined by Jessica Partington, Senior Property Manager at Daniel Corporation. They talk about her career in the property management industry, her expertise in the retail sector, and her experiences in her specific market, Birmingham, Alabama, a thriving city known for its rich history, architecture, and excellent food scene.
Jessica talks about how the pandemic affected the retail industry, and how there appears to be a shift in retail coming out of the pandemic. This shift is allowing for smaller businesses to lease space that otherwise might not have been practical for them in previous years.
She also talks about how her team turned the pandemic into a time of reflection, where they could look at their business practices and operating procedures and streamline them moving forward to ensure maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Jessica also gives advice for new professionals breaking into the business, including her dream first assignment that would be the best learning situation for a newcomer.
