Despite a schedule packed with the demands of leading PEP Housing, Jennifer Litwak always manages to carve out time for one of her favorite professional communities. For Litwak, staying connected just got easier—and more meaningful—thanks to The Hive, GlobeSt.com’s newly launched social media platform designed exclusively for women of influence in commercial real estate. “The Hive is more than just a community—it’s your go-to space to find and connect with industry leaders across the country,” Litwak says, highlighting the platform’s ability to bring together busy professionals like herself in a dynamic, year-round digital environment.
The Hive is GlobeSt.com’s newly launched social media platform designed exclusively for women of influence in commercial real estate. Although The Hive has already welcomed its first wave of users, the platform is making its formal debut at the Women of Influence Conference being held in Denver this July, where it will be introduced to the broader commercial real estate community.
The Hive aims to transform the networking and collaborative spirit of the in-person event into a dynamic, year-round digital experience. The platform offers direct access to winners, attendees, and nominees of the Women of Influence community, providing a space where members can engage, inspire, and thrive.

The Hive’s suite of features is tailored to the unique ambitions of women in commercial real estate. Members can create profiles that showcase their achievements, portfolios, and expertise. The platform supports content sharing, allowing users to post articles, videos, and updates to inspire and engage the broader community.
Groups and forums are available for in-depth discussions on trends, challenges, and best practices, while event promotion tools help members discover and share information about networking sessions, panel discussions, and exclusive industry gatherings.
A standout aspect of The Hive is its robust search functionality. Members can tailor their networking efforts by searching for peers based on location or by specific industry sector, making it easy to connect with professionals in their area or within their asset class. This feature is designed to facilitate not only conversations but also deal-making and business transactions among women who specialize in particular disciplines.
Direct messaging and project-based groups further encourage collaboration, allowing members to foster secure connections and work together on shared initiatives. The Hive also serves as an editorial platform, offering exclusive content from GlobeSt.com’s editors.
“We are so excited to launch the Hive app where women can not only uplift, engage, and network with each other—but also—a specific place where they can do business with other women leaders in commercial real estate,” said Jena Gardner, Director of Programming for GlobeSt.com. The Hive, Gardner notes, is intended to be a catalyst for elevating women’s voices in a historically male-dominated field, fostering genuine relationships and amplifying collective knowledge year-round.
At launch, The Hive extends invitations to Women of Influence conference attendees and nominees, with plans to welcome select members of the larger GlobeSt.com community in the future. By leveraging the intelligence and editorial insight of the GlobeSt.com newsroom, The Hive aims to fuel conversations and networking within an elegant and supportive digital environment.
In an industry where meaningful connections and continuous learning are crucial, The Hive positions itself as a key platform for women to share insights, celebrate achievements, and drive the future of commercial real estate together.
