Los Angeles votes all-in on housing, electing YIMBY-backed Raman
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. Los Angeles is working asset-by-asset through an extended office reset. Hospitality on the West Side and selective industrial in the South Bay are where capital is currently moving; downtown Class B remains in price discovery. The next twelve months will continue to reward underwriting discipline and operational sophistication over balance-sheet aggression.
