  During my involvement with SIBC within the Eastdil Secure Program, I engaged in comprehensive research across various real estate sectors, including industrials, office markets, and malls. Our focus delved into Q4 market reports, where we meticulously analyzed economic indicators such as unemployment rates, GDP quarterly percentage change year over year, and U.S. 10-year Treasury Notes, discerning their impact on quarterly performance.Furthermore, our examination extended to key metrics like vacancy rates, cap rates, overall asking lease rates (net), net absorption (square feet), under construction (square feet), construction completions (square feet), and discrepancies in industrial inventory (square feet). Utilizing this extensive data, we generated forecasts for vacancy rates and anticipated changes in under construction projects.Our efforts culminated in the creation of meticulous Microsoft presentations crafted to the exacting standards of Eastdil Secure, ensuring our findings were communicated effectively and professionally.
