Rising Above Volatility to Capitalize on Once-in-a-Cycle Opportunities 

2023 has ushered in an extremely unique time for real estate financing. While market participants navigate continued volatility, a subset of especially savvy dealmakers are striking while the iron is hot. Lenders with healthy balance sheets are winning new business, strategic partnerships are being forged, and new players are stepping in to fill the capital stack. The market has become a race to the top as participants showcase their expertise and tap into emerging once-in-a-cycle opportunities.

Who will come out on top? Find out at Commercial Observer’s Spring Financing CRE Forum as the most dominant names in the game discuss:

  • Predictions for the interest rate environment and who will be closing deals despite additional interest rate hikes
  • How to find the silver linings and  tap into strategic lending and investment opportunities 
  • The road to stabilization and when we can expect a normal transaction environment 

If you’re looking to hear which deals are getting ahead of the market turbulence, you can’t afford to miss this dynamic forum and your chance to gain access to the most preeminent commercial real estate finance experts across the U.S. Join us on April 26 for an in-depth look at the cutting-edge lending and investment strategies shaping national finance trends, and get exclusive intel and opinions from the top lenders, brokers and owners in the business.
