CPEX’s REX Night of networking in Bushwick was a success
The bar and gallery spaces at Brooklyn Fire Proof on Ingraham Street in Bushwick were hopping on Thursday, September 12 thanks to the huge turn-out of businessowners, real estate developers and the real estate curious for CPEX Real Estate’s third quarterly REX Night Networking Event.
“Every few months, we have a networking event in a different neighborhood to help spread the word [about business and real estate] opportunities,” explained Greg Roberts, CPEX’s chief operating officer. “We’re product-type specialized, so it helps us focus on markets [such as those] here, in industrial, retail and leasing.”
“Bushwick is the latest frontier for mom-and-pop businesses,” said Jeff Mann, executive director of the Greenpoint Chamber of Commerce, which was one of the event co-sponsors. “We saw it in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. [This is] an opportunity to come out and meet the people who are opening this new frontier.”
