Last week the KBS team traveled to #Austin for the National Association of Real Estate Editors annual conference #NAREE2024. Senior Vice President and Co-Director of Asset Management at KBS Brett Merz, shared his thoughts on “The State of the Office Market,” alongside: Alex Hancock with Howard Hughes Holdings Inc., Kameshia L. Freeman with JLL, and “Bill” William Brown with Granite Properties, and moderator Tony Wilbert with CoStar Group. “Frankly, tenants are being very thoughtful about their capital expenditures, but they are willing to pay more if it means their cost of capital can come down. We’re seeing a lot of leasing activity, a lot more deals and inquiries. For example, in Dallas, the number of proposals has doubled in the last six years.” – Brett Merz. Want to know more?

S&P addresses the CRE asset issue. Key takeaways: - U.S. commercial real estate (CRE) struggles to get back on its feet, with the ailing office sector dampening the ratings outlook. - Difficult conditions for refinancing loans could put the resilience of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) to the test, while real estate investment trusts (REITs) might face a decline in credit quality. - CRE financing companies (fincos) continue to focus on maintaining liquidity over new loan originations as they face deteriorating asset quality, rising credit loss reserves, and an increase in underperforming loans. - With banks remaining the largest source of funding for CRE, and CRE delinquencies rising, most banks maintain manageable exposures to office loans. We closely monitor banks with the highest CRE exposures. I would add: - Smaller banks carry greater risks. ""The size of the bank matters," Stuart Plesser, Managing Director for U.S. Banks, said. "In the case of banks with over $100 billion in assets, CRE loans only account for 12.5% of the total loan book but represent roughly 38% for banks with less than $10 billion in assets." Some of these smaller banks, which are typically not rated, could feel the repercussions of their high CRE exposures over the medium term." - Not all CRE loans are created equal. The stress is concentrated in, though not exclusive to, offices. (Industrial is weakening, and I would expect that and Retail to suffer a bit as the economy slows.)
