NYC Cannabis: The Race for Primo Real Estate Space

Willner has had a view of how the cannabis landscape is starting to pan out. “As far as real estate is concerned, everyone who’s inking deals now before there are even regulations, before there’s even an application process, everyone’s taking a huge risk and paying a price for that risk,” he said. “Both landlords and tenants are put in pretty precarious situations because no one knows how long this is going to take. So, if there was a defined period of time, I think that would ease everybody’s minds on both sides of the transaction.”
