Randy Blankstein, President of the Boulder Group, to Chair ICSC N3 Triple Net Lease Conference


Randy Blankstein, President of national net lease advisory firm The Boulder Group, will be the conference chair of the ICSC N3 Triple Net Lease Conference in Dallas on March 3rd, 2015.

The conference description is as follows: Single tenant, net leased properties have always been a large part of the shopping center community as ancillary income for landlords enabling them to take advantage of outparcels or excess land.  This niche property type is currently one of the nation’s most appealing investments, real estate or otherwise, as its fundamental simplicity has been acknowledged by tenants, developers, brokers, private investors as well as institutional owners. No longer do professionals deem single tenant assets to be a fringe investment as an entire industry has been focused on this property type for decades. ICSC started a dedicated discussion on single tenant properties at its annual RECON conference in 2012.  Since then it has become a staple at RECon and its success has proven that a large portion of ICSC's members are advocates of learning more about the topic.
