Don't Be Caught Unprepared


Crisis Resiliency Workshop |  April 10  
Business interruptions due to an emergency or large-scale disaster take a toll on owners,
employees, and profits. The Cities and Chambers of Commerce of Walnut Creek,
Pleasant Hill, Concord, and Martinez are partnering with the Small Business
Development Center to share resources needed to protect the well-being of a company
and its employees. Our economy will rebound quickly from any disaster by making sure
our local businesses are as ready and prepared as possible.

Issues Forecast
By Lou Fancher |  Feb 28, 2019

With 40 years in the industry and more energy than most 25-year-olds, 64-year-old Del Beccaro is highly qualified and unafraid to offer bold predictions about commercial real estate in Walnut Creek and the East Bay. His career began in 1977, moving up the ranks at Grubb & Ellis before operating his own development company from 1983 to 1992. Re-entering full-time brokerage, Del Beccaro was the East Bay manager at Colliers, Grubb & Ellis, then oversaw a 40-member team for seven years at Transwestern before moving to TRI Commercial East Bay as a Regional Manager at the end of 2018. He has leased or sold over three million-square-feet of real estate representing clients that include UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, California Bank & Trust, Mechanics Bank, Wells Fargo, among others.  Del Beccaro weighs in with Walnut Creek Magazine on what to expect in the commercial real estate arena for 2019 and beyond.Click here
