CHICAGO—As reported yesterday in GlobeSt.com, commercial real estate investors have a fairly complicated set of views on the new Trump administration. Some of the proposals talked about during the campaign have raised hopes that the first real estate developer president will make doing business much easier. But some in the industry have also worried that cutting off immigration or building obstacles to trade will have negative impacts on certain sectors such as apartments or industrial distribution.

Still, even though the Trump administration has introduced some uncertainty to where the US government and economy are headed, the overall picture seems healthy, and that has helped many who have questions about the nation's direction approach the future with some confidence.

“Real estate investors are cautiously optimistic in terms of the fundamentals,” Jacques Gordon, global head of research and strategy at LaSalle Investment Management, tells GlobeSt.com. The Chicago-based firm just published a report that examines President Trump's policy proposals and the possible impact on real estate markets.
