LOS ANGELES—Marc Renard, Executive Vice Chair, Capital Markets Group for Cushman & Wakefield, recently led a diverse panel of industry leaders in a discussion about factors influencing the investment strategies. The conversation delved into the myriad factors shaping the investment strategies of major institutional players in today's dynamic market. Renard's opening remarks emphasized the unprecedented variables at play, from geopolitical risks and the remote work impact to a wave of loan maturities and rising interest rates, offering both challenges and generational investment opportunities.
When asked to encapsulate the current investment sales capital market state, Robin Potts, Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC, and Hailey Ghalib, Executive Managing Director and Head of Housing Investment and Development at Affinius Capital, resoundingly concurred: "Frozen."
Panelist Stanley Iezman, Chairman and CEO of American Realty Advisors, echoed this sentiment, noting that for the past 13 or 14 years, the world has been in a low-interest-rate environment. He pointed out a critical shift, saying, "For the first time, we are seeing that there are other things besides real estate… Alternatives exist, and that is changing the dynamics."
