ULI Emerging Trends Report: DFW Three-Peats as Top Market to Watch in 2027, Houston Holds Serve
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. 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. The next twelve months will continue to reward underwriting discipline and operational sophistication over balance-sheet aggression.
