Starwood Property Trust Reports $390M Q3 Loss, but Sternlicht Remains Resolute
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. Miami continues to absorb foreign capital and high-net-worth domestic migration. Brickell and Edgewater multifamily cap rates have led the recent compression, and hospitality continues to clear at premium basis on the back of constrained supply. The next twelve months will continue to reward underwriting discipline and operational sophistication over balance-sheet aggression.
