Some of the industry’s leading REIT leaders gathered recently at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando for the 2014 edition of the EY REIT CFO and Tax Directors’ Roundtable. With recovery in full bloom, it’s still a question as to what will happen with interest rates in the foreseeable future. A panel of experts talked about the REIT outlook in the face of a recovery that still holds many questions. The panel consisted of: James Collins, managing director, Morgan Stanley; James Sullivan, managing director, Green Street Advisors; and Adam Markman, in his new position as EVP and CFO, Equity Commonwealth. The session was moderated by Michael Straneva, partner, Ernst & Young LLP.
