Navigating the opportunities in Commercial Real Estate in 2024

It’s no secret that the commercial real estate industry has been facing some tough times lately. Real estate values across sectors have dropped by 15%–30% from their peak in 2022, and both supply and demand imbalances—and high rates—stubbornly persist.

Many capital structures that were put in place in a lower-rate world have become unsustainable, and this trend is only expected to continue.
