August 18, 2009 - Philip Seagraves joins iCORE Commercial as Research Fellow focused on delivering cutting edge, empirically driven research in the areas of office and industrial real estate to help both industry and academia better understand the dynamic nature of the real estate industry. Mr. Seagraves is currently seeking his PhD in Real Estate full time at Georgia State University, one of the few dedicated real estate doctoral programs in the country.
iCORE will provide support for research projects in the areas of corporate real estate, office and industrial demand, and the relationships between real estate costs and corporate performance. Seagraves is currently working on a research project related to the changes to warehouse property features and locations as the US economy has continued to shift toward a "path of goods movement" model. Additionally, he is investigating the performance of REIT initial public offerings and the reasons explaining why some sectors (office, warehouse, residential, etc) perform better or worse in the short and long run.
