Trademark Closes Four Deals in Six Weeks, Marks Start of Retail Investment and Development Cycle

Why this matters

Capital markets activity continues to be defined by the rotation from bank balance sheets to non-bank lenders. Private credit funds have raised record dry powder; banks have tightened CRE underwriting standards for the sixth consecutive quarter. The result is a market where well-sponsored deals clear, and marginal credit pays a meaningful spread to do so. Dallas-Fort Worth continues to absorb the largest multifamily delivery pipeline in the country. Industrial along the I-35 corridor is clearing at competitive basis, and selective office is finding bids at deep discounts to replacement. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
