business, close deals and continue moving forward notwithstanding the economic and environmental obstacles facing today’s
markets. Though women do continue to face obstacles unique to
them, the playing field is leveling and especially now, the economic and environmental issues are affecting men the same as they
are women.”
CAROLYN SICA
First Vice President
CB Richard Ellis
With a focus on tenant representation,
Carolyn Sica’s multi-market clients include
AT&T, Ricoh, Robert Half, Regus/HQ
Global and Northwestern Mutual, and her team completes almost
100 acquisition/disposition assignments yearly. Recent assignments include a 287,286-square-foot acquisition for Washington
Group in Princeton; a 176,000-square-foot out-of-state renewal for
AT&T; a 250,000-square-foot acquisition for Ricoh in Tennessee;
and 200,000 square feet of deals for HQ in multiple New Jersey
locations, among others.
Key Issue: “The greatest challenge facing women is achieving parity.
Women are still a minority in this industry and growth has been slow.
Women have come a long way but still have a journey ahead. In a perfect
world, we would like to see more women in C-level positions, sitting on
boards and being compensated equally. I recently read that success is what
you leave behind, and not what you have done. I couldn’t have stated my
belief any better.”

Key Issue: “It’s the economy. There’s no doubt we’re facing a critical time
for real estate, financing, construction activities and our daily lives. It is
crucial to develop strategies to overcome the adversity of the situation and

consistent quality service and/or product.”
