- CPE Executive Council: 2024's Surprising CRE Trends Risk and Reward: The biggest surprise is that we dodged the bullets—office sector went through essentially a depression with zero capital and negative valuation and the level of defaults remained tolerable. Multifamily even with all the risky and marginal lending in 2020-21 and the excess supply in 2024 is holding up. Retail, which everyone predicted the demise of over the past 10 years, is again a desired asset class. Seems like we have figured out the risk/reward and capital is smarter. I will credit transparency and machine learning for a lot of it because the natural instincts in the past would have been to over-react and drive us over a cliff. —Shekar Narasimhan, Managing Partner, Beekman Advisors
- MBA Newslink: Empowering Renters Empowers the Market This is plain common sense. “The rental crisis has led to calls for direct federal government intervention in the landlord-tenant relationship,” said Shekar Narasimhan, CMB, Managing Partner at Beekman Advisors, McLean, Va. He cited FHFA’s recent promulgation of new renter-protection covenants for GSE multifamily lending. “Many landlords are telling us that post the COVID eviction moratorium, the landlord-tenant relationship is frayed or broken, so while these renter protections feel like a good starting framework, it emphasizes the need for renter counseling and efforts to increase the financial self-sufficiency of renters. We do not need ill-advised regulations. We need incentives and a better landlord-tenant relationship.”
