Commercial real estate is a significant part of the overall U.S. economy. Comprising more than 6 million buildings and 71 million square feet of space, it is the backbone of the hospitality, healthcare, food, storage and mercantile sectors, among many others. How has the Covid-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work affected the industry? Will the hot housing streak continue? How is technology becoming an important real estate tool?

To discuss this topic and how it affects Montana’s local markets, we are joined today on Can Do by Claire Matten. Claire is a Real Estate Advisor with Sterling Commercial Real Estate Advisors, specializing in industrial properties. She recently became the first woman in Montana to receive designation from the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors.

Claire will explain how commercial real estate is deeply intertwined with Montana's business future, and will help us understand how the state may grow in the coming years.
