Follow on Google News | Fourth Annual Spring Lender Conference a Sell OutTrigild Fall Lender Conference Set for October 14 to16 at Hotel del Coronado
By: Trigild According to conference founder and Trigild president Judy Hoffman, a record-breaking number of attendees convened for the sold-out event, which examined trends and conditions in the commercial real estate, finance and lending markets. “Respected industry leaders addressed topics including enforcing CRE loans, loan maturities, alternatives to bankruptcy, successful resolutions and adding value to tough properties,” Victor Calanog, PhD, chief economist and senior vice president at Reis Inc., further examined the impact of interest rates as this year’s keynote speaker. Calanog, who oversees Reis Inc.’s market forecasting, valuation and real estate portfolio analytics services, addressed “Commercial Real Estate: The Year of Potential Turning Point” discussing a range of issues including trends in capital markets, the prognosis for interest rate increases and first quarter trends in multifamily, office, retail and industrial. Among the highlights of his presentation: * Multifamily fundamentals remain strong, but vacancies may begin to rise this year. * Office and retail fundamentals are still recovering slowly, but figures over the last six months suggest that strong job growth might finally be supporting a faster rate of office rent growth and absorption. * Industrial properties are enjoying a broad based recovery, although there has been a bit of a pullback in the first quarter of 2015. * The US is unlikely to be bogged down in stagnation; but given our integration with the global economy, non-domestic idiosyncratic factors (very challenging to forecast) represent the highest risk to the rosiest of predictions for US growth in 2015. * Fed may raise interest rates this year; welcome news to many Calanog’s overall outlook for the economy in 2015? “A lot of tailwinds and some headwinds.” Event sponsors were: Burr & Forman, Ballard Spahr, Akerman, Miller Canfield, Polsinelli, Keybank Real Estate Capital, Sheppard Mullin, Buchalter Nemer, Seyfarth Shaw, Duane Morris, O’Connor Cochran, Pepper Hamilton, Baker Donelson, Stites & Harbison, Thompson & Knight and Plunkett Cooney.
