  • Appraisal Methods Used For Facade Preservation Easement Valuations: Valuing Facade Preservation Ease

  • By Robert Plotka, Managing Director, CityScape Capital Group

  • Based upon generally accepted appraisal practices, real property appraisals should be supported by adequate market data analysis using one or more of the three traditional appraisal approaches: Sales Comparison, Income Capitalization and Cost.

This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
