Market situation

Preserving Value in the US Commercial Real Estate Market

The opportunities are endless ...

... we will apply a systematic approach towards identifying and capitalizing on these distressed situations.

Current market:

  • There is a lack of new financing due to crisis-weakened and failing financial institutions.
  • There will be rising vacancy and sublease space due to substantial layoffs specifically in the financial sector.
  • A fire sale of assets by hedge and open-ended funds will ensue to create liquidity in a credit-tightened environment.
  • An overall poor performance of the sector with a downward value trend line will characterize much of the closing quarter of 2008 and the beginning quarters of 2009.

The challenges:

  • There will be an inability to find sources of capital to deleverage current investments.
  • A weakened tenant capacity and demand will lower property revenues.
  • An increasing number of institutional funds will pull out their investments.
