HMC’s previous director for real estate, David Ferrero, stepped down in Aug. 2007, according to money management newspaper Pensions & Investments. HMC announced in February that it would lay off roughly a quarter of its 200 employees, mostly support staff, in an attempt to “re-balance and re-engineer the organization.” Real estate has traditionally been a difficult asset class to valuate and provides very limited...
