Deloitte, RCA and RERC Study Charts Uncertainty

NEW YORK CITY-As the economic recovery continues, a select group of markets–all the usual suspects–is keeping commercial real estate attractive for investors, according to a new report from Deloitte, Real Capital Analytics and the Real Estate Research Corp.

“Expectations & Market Realities in Real Estate 2011: Balancing Risk and Return in An Era of Uncertainty,” charts what risk investors are willing to take, and where. This was the first year that all three groups pooled their resources to create the report, according to Matthew Kimmel, principal and US real estate services leader for Deloitte Financial Advisory Services. A spokeswoman for RERC confirms that the first edition of the report was issued in 2004.
