Podcast: Editors Discuss the 2023 Power 100 and Power Finance Lists

Compiling one of Commercial Observer’s annual Power Lists — the authoritative source for the most powerful people in commercial real estate — is no mean feat… In a particularly tumultuous year for commercial real estate, Commercial Observer’s editors ranked industry leaders who didn’t just adapt to the times, they defined them.

Max Gross, CO’s editor in chief, and Cathy Cunningham, finance editor and co-deputy editor, reveal how they chose this year’s Power Finance and Power 100 honorees, the trends that stood out, the industry moves — and investments — that propelled people higher, and why the lists’ No. 1 honorees were so crowned.

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea (or something more bracing), and join the conversation.
