11:55 AM  - 12:30 PM : Analyzing the Pipeline: The Key Deals, Asset Classes & Opportunities Defining the Year Ahead

The industry is entering the second half of 2024 with slightly more confidence than it had at the start of the year. Multifamily and industrial have remained strong, and retail is now on sturdier grounds. Office appears to be more of a tale of two cities with a shortage of trophy assets on one end, and vacancies on the other. Office to residential conversions are another opportunity for those successfully navigating the financial feasibility of conversions. And what about specialty asset classes such as IOS, student housing, data centers and cold storage? You don’t want to miss this discussion as top lenders break down asset class performance, their preferences and  trouble spots, and share which sectors are ripe with opportunity today as they attract greater lender appetite. 

If the past four years have taught us anything, it’s that when it comes to capital markets, all bets are off. As capital stack needs and market opportunities ebb and flow, savvy lenders and investors are pivoting in real-time to meet market demand, often providing subordinate debt— such as mezzanine loans or preferred equity— or rescue capital or other capital solutions. Get exclusive insights on how the already-sophisticated lending sector is evolving, the role of various forms of financing in today’s deals, the benefits of CMBS versus balance sheet deals, the new players in the subordinate debt space and lender appetite for the complex, occasionally hairy, transactions that 2024 continues to present.
