Building Tours
Behind the Buildings: Exclusive CRE Building Tours
Go beyond the lobby and see how major assets actually operate.
These are not sightseeing tours. They are real-world, behind-the-scenes experiences designed for property and facility professionals who want to see how complex systems, risk management, and long-term asset strategy come together in practice.
TOUR OPTIONS
QUEEN MARY TOUR
Historic Landmark. Active Hospitality Asset. Complex Operating Machine.
Go beyond the public decks and into the mechanical and engineering heart of the Queen Mary. Explore original propulsion and boiler systems alongside modern HVAC, elevators, telecommunications, and fire/life-safety infrastructure retrofitted into a protected historic structure.
You’ll see back-of-house hospitality operations including service corridors, kitchens, storage, and support areas. Discussions include corrosion control, waterproofing, phased restoration, and how long-term capital maintenance is managed on a revenue-producing landmark.
This is adaptive reuse and asset preservation in real time.
PORT OF LONG BEACH TOUR
Global Trade. Infrastructure. Sustainability in Motion.
Step inside one of the largest and most advanced port complexes in the Western Hemisphere.
The Port of Long Beach spans 5 square miles and 25 miles of waterfront. Attendees will learn how cargo flow, terminal automation, and infrastructure planning support global commerce.
Highlights include the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge and the ultra-modern Middle Harbor terminal.
The tour will also explore sustainability efforts including electric cargo equipment and shore power systems that reduce emissions and modernize maritime operations.
This is infrastructure at scale.
OFFICE BUILDING TOUR
180 E. Ocean Blvd
Day-to-Day Operations of a Multi-Tenant Asset
See how a Class A multi-tenant office building truly functions behind the scenes.
The tour covers lobby operations, security, visitor management, vendor coordination, and back-of-house logistics. Attendees will visit mechanical rooms to understand HVAC, electrical, utility systems, and fire/life-safety compliance responsibilities.
If available, a vacant or build-out suite will demonstrate how lease language, tenant improvements, and operations intersect.
This is property management in action.
