In this week’s episode of the TreppWire Podcast, we examine what is becoming one of the defining themes of today's commercial real estate market: capital is still available, but it is moving far more selectively. We break down the Federal Reserve’s increasingly hawkish stance under new chair Kevin Warsh, following the latest inflation data, and reflect on the legacy of former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan. We dive into key CRE headlines, including Wheeler REIT’s plan to sell a significant portion of its portfolio as it grapples with ongoing leverage challenges and balance sheet strain, and discuss Morgan Stanley’s potential $1.3 billion office investment in Dallas as it expands its presence in Texas. We also break down the lending landscape, where banks are increasingly lending to private credit lenders rather than making direct CRE loans. Finally, we dive into Trepp's latest research on the 2021 multifamily vintage, examining how acquisition activity differed across major and secondary markets before bringing the data to life with a case study of 10X Living at Weston as it approaches maturity.
