More non-profits looking to move, survey says

Non-profit organizations in the tri-state region are looking to lower their real estate-related costs to stay afloat in the current economic climate, according to a survey conducted by S. Sunshine & Associates, a New York City brokerage specializing in non-profit real estate needs. The group’s 2010 Nonprofit Real Estate Survey also found that more landlords are willing to be flexible to retain non-profit tenants. “Landlords always want to recruit and retain tenants, and most of them stand ready to work with non-profits to try to accommodate their needs,” Suzanne Sunshine, president of S. Sunshine & Associates, said in a written statement. The survey, which was conducted over two weeks in October, collected 203 responses. TRD
