The Washington Trust Company finances reconstruction of Block Island's Harborside Inn
Why this matters
Land continues to behave as the highest-conviction long-duration bet in CRE. In supply-constrained luxury markets, replacement-cost-positive entitlements remain scarce; in growth-corridor exurbs, sponsors with patient capital are accumulating positions ahead of the next residential or industrial pipeline. 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 trade is a basis call, not an income call, and continues to attract family-office and high-net-worth capital that can hold through the cycle.
