Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Knoxville Commercial Real Estate Blog!

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Knoxville Commercial Real Estate Blog! 

If you want details about commercial real estate events in Knoxville and all of East Tennessee this is the place to be.  My name is Justin Cazana and I am one of the principals/co-founders of Cushman & Wakefield|Cornerstone CRES in Knoxville.  We opened the office 13 months ago and immediately had an impact on the commercial real estate market.  In those 13 months Cushman & Wakefield|Cornerstone CRES has developed a portfolio of more than three million square feet of commercial real estate space in East Tennessee.  You can get more details in our firm by visiting our web site at www.cornerstonecres.com.

Our plans are to have weekly (Wednesday) posts on the blog to discuss everything in commercial real estate, but mostly focusing on the Knoxville market.  We will post more often, when something big happens in the market .

This will not only be a place to learn about Cushman & Wakefield|Cornerstone CRES , but to learn about commercial real estate in general.  We will talk about market trends, types of leases, legal points to consider (although I am not an attorney and recommend that you do seek legal counsel prior to signing any lease or related document), why you should have a broker, etc…
