Freedom Tech DC to Convene Policymakers, Industry Leaders on AI, Data Centers, Energy and the Future of Money
Why this matters
Commercial real estate continues to digest a multi-year reset in cost of capital. Transaction velocity is below the 2019-2021 trend but improving, cap rates have stabilized across most stabilized property types, and the bid-ask gap has narrowed materially in the past two quarters. Sponsors with permanent capital and operating platforms have an advantage in the current execution environment. Washington office has been a leading conversion market in the cycle, with multiple downtown Class B assets entering office-to-residential programs in the last twelve months. The next twelve months will continue to reward underwriting discipline and operational sophistication over balance-sheet aggression.
