Today we talk with two commercial real estate brokers about the state of commercial real estate in the Wilmington area and how the office, retail and industrial sectors are faring more than a year after the pandemic began to affect them all.

For example, what will become of office space as some workers return and others don’t? Will shopping center vacancies caused by failed retailers ever fill up? And why are industrial properties so sought-after these days?

Brian Eckel of Wilmington-based Cape Fear Commercial and John Hinnant of Wilmington-based Eastern Carolinas Commercial Real Estate will weigh in on those questions and more.
