Michael J. Siegel
President, Corporate Realty
Corporate Realty is a full-service real estate agency headquartered in New Orleans that serves businesses throughout the Gulf South, including Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. Most of the company’s brokerage and management teams have been together for more than 20 years. Recent notable projects include helping bring DXC to New Orleans and working with the Benson team to redevelop and lease up the former Lord & Taylor Building (1400 Poydras Street).
What are you most excited about in the coming year? I’m most excited about the continued urbanization of Downtown New Orleans — seeing more people living, working and playing in the downtown area. I’m also excited about welcoming DXC and their new employees to the business community and continuing to work on bringing more white-collar jobs to the city. I’d also like to see the Saints in the Super Bowl again.
What is the biggest challenge facing your industry today? Our biggest challenge as a company is trying to figure out how to harness the mass amount of information available on the web to our benefit. On a wider level, the uncertainty in the national business community has resulted in some slowdown to growth and opportunities.
