Distressed CRE Assets Trigger Big Moves from Investors For the past year, we’ve seen a lot of predictions in commercial real estate (CRE) around the looming “wall of debt” facing commercial assets. Many owners face a difficult refinancing environment as their loans come due, and NAI Global’s Arthur Milston previously predicted a wave of distressed assets that would hit the market in 2024. As we are into the second quarter of the year, that prediction is playing out in real-time as investment firms across the U.S. gear up to take advantage of the distressed asset influx.

Per the chart, CRE bidding activity was on the rise in late 2023, with the average number of bids per deal increasing by 16%, narrowing the bid-ask spread. A shout out to Richard Bloxam and his team for producing this article... Strong summary of the current state of the CRE Capital Markets. Below are key excerpts: By the end of 2025, $3.1 trillion of real estate assets globally will have maturing debt. The current refinancing shortfall for these loan maturities is an estimated $270-$570 billion, which will catalyze transaction activity and provide a clear first-mover advantage for well capitalized investors in 2024. The dry powder for CRE now totals $402 billion sitting on the sidelines. #capitalmarkets #investmentsales #commercialrealestate #realestateinvestment #realestateinvesting

What's the trend in commercial real estate? * Commercial property values have fallen 21% on average since the Fed began raising interest rates two years ago.....most of those buying up 'bargains' are family offices/private investors who often make the boldest steps first....and get the best buys, not only price-wise, but they also have more choice. They tend to own assets for longer and are more focused on creating generational wealth than hitting strict return hurdles like larger institutional investors.

The perception is so negative and yet the value decline has occurred, so when you get into this bottoming period that’s when you want to move,” Blackstone Inc. President Jon Gray told Bloomberg. Competition to buy discounted assets hasn’t been great so far, he said, adding that there will be a strong need for new capital as financial institutions begin realizing losses from loans that were made when borrowing costs were much lower. While Gray sees a wave of buying opportunities as some banks and even insurance funds may have to sell at discounts, the scale won’t be as bad as it was during the financial crisis, he said. Keep in mind, this news is directed to the US market which has deviated from its similarities to the Canadian real estate market since covid.

A very interesting read - This surge will significantly impact the focus of recruitment over the next 12-24+ months. We're already seeing a notable increase in platforms recruiting for professionals skilled in acquiring and managing distressed assets and debt restructuring, with a strong focus on credit analysis and subsequent management. High interest rates, increased regulation (like Basel III), and the looming maturity wall of $2.9 trillion in commercial real estate debt by 2028 will create a surge in distressed opportunities. Firms like Fortress are positioning themselves to capitalise on these developments, with a particular focus on senior debt origination and distressed asset acquisition. This shift will drive demand for professionals skilled in managing distressed real estate portfolios, evaluating risk, and navigating complex debt structures. The regulatory landscape, combined with higher operating costs and shrinking asset values, means there will be an emphasis on structuring innovative solutions for borrowers. These evolving market conditions will increase competition for talent across distressed investment and credit management, emphasising skills in strategic lending, distressed asset recovery, and portfolio management.
