Episode 17 - Liz Holland
The Back to School Special. Phil sits down with Liz Holland, the CEO of Abbell Credit Corporation and Abbell Associates. Liz takes us to school on current retail real estate trends, what Amazon is going to do to compete in the grocery store market. She also discusses the under-utilization of the female workforce causing a limited economic growth environment, and the fight for sales fairness legislation (a/k/a the main street fairness act). Liz explains the value of brick and mortar and how recent online retailers are transferring to them, creating a situation where the line is murky between online sales and in-store sales. Liz is the former chairman of ICSC (and currently serves on the board of trustees), an accomplished attorney, commercial real estate owner, an asset manager, and a renowned speaker. Liz is able to identify current trends in the market and use her creativity and insight to provide value for real estate owners and investors alike.
