At NMHC’s 2019 gathering in San Diego, Mark Cosenza, senior vice president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC, shared his outlook for apartment investment heading into the year.

The changing of the calendar to 2019 means that the multifamily sector is coming off close to a decade of robust growth. Matthew Tice, senior vice president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC, shared his insights at the recent National Multifamily Housing Council's (NMHC) annual meeting as to what multifamily investors, developers and owners need to know to be successful over the next year.

While investor demand for net lease assets remains strong and the market is expected to remain active in 2019, Real Estate Forum wanted to highlight some of the many professionals and organizations who have made an indelible impact on the business, including Joe Cosenza, vice chairman of The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC and president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC. 

Joe Cosenza, vice chairman of The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC and president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC, is a fan of Opportunity Zones, despite some oddities in the format. Of course, he breaks it all down in this exclusive interview and takes a frank look at the good as well as the, let’s say, odd.

It’s amazing when you think of it, that an asset class so dependent on lower-number transactions could claim $44.1 billion in 2018. But, according to Real Estate Forum’s Influencers of Net Lease, that’s the scorecard. One of the feature’s influencers was Joe Cosenza, vice chairman of The Inland Real Estate Group, LLC. Over the term of Inland’s lifetime, it’s logged $13.7 billion in net lease transactions, “80 to 90 percent of which were retail,” Cosenza tells GlobeSt.com.

We’ve seen it all before. So says Inland’s Joe Cosenza in this exclusive video from RECon 2019. Many of the innovations that are redefining the retail market today harken back to an earlier day of service and customer experience–before we ever heard that term.

After a half-century in the real estate business, Joe Cosenza is as enthusiastic about dealmaking as ever. Since starting The Inland Group of Real Estate Companies, Inc. in 1968, Joseph Cosenza and three fellow schoolteachers have built the Oak Brook, Ill.-based firm into one of the nation’s largest, most diversified commercial real estate investment companies. Inland Group is a launching pad for a wide variety of investment vehicles: limited partnerships, listed and non-listed REITs and institutional funds.
