Olympic Real Estate

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we are taking a look at the way in which France changed the real estate component of the Paris Olympics. Over the past 50 years, and arguably even longer, hosting the Olympic Games meant constructing permanent structures that quite frankly are going to be used for only a month for the Olympics and the Paralympics which follow immediately after the Olympic Games. 

The economic benefits have been short lived and hard to quantify.
