Are The Olympics The Pinnacle?

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we are talking about major international events and the impact on real estate from those events. Major cities have sought to host events like the Olympics, the World Expo, The world Cup of Soccer, The PanAm Games, the Commonwealth Games and so on. 

Each of these events brings with it the need to build the appropriate event space, accommodations for the visitors during the events themselves, and of course a tremendous amount of infrastructure.

On today’s show we are looking at the legacy of major events, a decade after the event is over.
