Play Pause

17d ago42:07

42:07

2025 was a noisy year. Policy changes, interest rate adjustments and geopolitical roller coasters kept CRE on their toes. With financing loosening up and transactions picking up, the groundwork is being laid for a better 2026, but where is a safe investment in a world where fundamentals seem to be shifting?

First Draft Live: Linneman Associates Principal and Founder Peter Linneman — Uncertainty Is The New Normal. Now What? 38:30

2M ago38:30

38:30

2025 has not gone according to plan. Real estate has been bandied about by headwinds of economic, policy and fundamental changes. Interest rate reductions and rising deal flow has the industry feeling better, but stability is a pipe dream these days, especially when federal data is missing and CRE research can conflict. But forget about the data, e…

2M ago27:58

27:58

While the longest government shutdown in U.S. history may be over, the commercial real estate industry will be feeling its impact for some time. From HUD halting originations and approvals to hotel demand drying up and data going away, the pain has been widespread. And it will continue to impact underwriting and kill deals, especially in the multif…

First Draft Live: CBRE’s Jamie Hodari — Work Has Changed. Has The Office? 30:21

2M ago30:21

30:21

The U.S. office market is molting. The industry has spent the last five years shedding its old skin — and underperforming assets — and is attempting to emerge fresh and appealing to workers. Return-to-office mandates are helping bring workers back to their desks, and vacancy just ticked down for the first time since 2019. But few mandates come with…

First Draft Live Ep 17: Inside CRE’s New Operating System (with Christian Ulbrich) 27:41

2M ago27:41

27:41

After years of cautious experimentation, CRE’s biggest players are finally scaling artificial intelligence. JLL has been at the forefront of it, launching an in-house AI platform called Falcon that is cutting deal timelines from weeks to hours and automating the drudgery that once bogged down teams. The result is higher revenue per head, higher suc…

First Draft Live Ep 16: Paused, Not Canceled: Inside CRE’s Next Cycle (with Sally Ann Flood) 26:58

3M ago26:58

26:58

The optimism that permeated commercial real estate at the start of 2025 has died down as the year has gone on. That's the headline from Deloitte's annual CRE executive survey, but Deloitte partner Sally Ann Flood said on this week's episode that the responses showed an increasingly bifurcated market. Some asset classes, like data centers and wareho…

First Draft Live Ep 15: AI Bubble Math Meets Real Estate (with Michael Pearce) 30:58

3M ago30:58

30:58

The AI trade is reshaping markets and CRE is riding shotgun. A surge of capital into chips and data centers has turned AI into the backbone of U.S. growth — pushing tech spending to dot-com-era highs and doubling data center pipelines. But will it pay off? Alarm bells are ringing that adoption may not match optimism. That could quickly mean swathes…

First Draft Live Ep 14: The Decision: What The Fed Just Told CRE (with Jim Costello) 35:00

4M ago35:00

35:00

The starting gun has gone off: The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates 25 basis points. Now CRE can be off to the races. At least that’s the narrative. In practice, CRE cares more about long-term debt, and the 10-year Treasury ran counter to expectations and actually rose 10 bps, Jim Costello, MSCI’s director of real estate economics, said on th…

First Draft Live Ep 13: Debt Meets The Housing Crunch (with Sharon Karaffa) 26:11

26:11

It’s a high-pressure year for multifamily.

But multifamily fundamentals are strong, Sharon Karaffa, president of multifamily debt and structured f…

First Draft Live Ep 12: The Bond Market’s Warning To Real Estate (with Chris Stanley) 28:36

4M ago28:36

28:36

Global bond markets are under siege and CRE is caught in the crossfire. UK 30-year gilt yields surged to their highest level since 1998, and volatility in U.S. Treasuries has repeatedly brushed them against 5%. For commercial real estate, that means more expensive debt, climbing cap rates and global investors second-guessing allocations. Christophe…

First Draft Live Ep 11: CMBS Pain Is Only Beginning (with Ethan Penner) 27:59

5M ago27:59

27:59

This episode of First Draft Live is presented by Agora. The godfather of the CMBS market issued a warning that commercial real estate is not out of the woods of its downturn, which is a potential problem for the U.S. economy. “The losses in CRE are so big that the rippling effect of those losses to the economy are so big that they could be quite ha…

First Draft Live Ep. 9: Opportunity Zones: We're Not In 1.0 Anymore (with Steve Glickman) 32:33

5M ago32:33

32:33

The original Opportunity Zone program drove more than $100B into real estate and business investment, but it also faced criticism it missed its mark, failing to spur development in the areas that needed it most. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act just made OZs permanent and it aims to fix all that, tightening the rules on what areas may be designated O…

First Draft Live Ep. 8: Inside CRE's Tariff Turning Point (with James Bohnaker) 30:06

5M ago30:06

30:06

Liberation Day Part 2 has come and gone, and the U.S. has more clarity on the global trade landscape. Some of the levies will have CRE breathing easier, but some — including the 35% rate on Canada, a hugely important market for construction material imports — might be worse than the industry feared. Already, tariffs have driven construction costs u…

First Draft Live Ep. 7: Can The Grid Keep Up? Inside The Data Center Surge Reshaping CRE (with Dan Rabb) 32:07

32:07

The rise of AI is pushing data centers to their limits. Calls for bigger, denser facilities are increasing and tenant power requirements are doubling in many markets.

First Draft Live Ep. 6: Has Real Estate’s Crypto Moment Finally Arrived? (with Gabe Marans) 28:49

6M ago28:49

28:49

Though a few brave (or crazy) pioneers have dabbled with using crypto in commercial real estate, the industry has mostly sat on the sidelines for years. The reason: not enough regulation, no stability or guardrails. This week, that started to change. The passage of the GENIUS Act to create a framework for stablecoins, plus two other bills making th…

First Draft Live Ep. 5: The Bill That Just Rewired Multifamily (with Alex Jessett) 30:15

6M ago30:15

30:15

The One Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and its impact on housing could be massive. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit received its biggest reform in 25 years, including halving the requirements of how much of its funding must come from municipal bonds. LIHTC and the Opportunity Zones program were both made permanent, and major adjustments to OZs — i…

6M ago26:42

26:42

U.S. foreign policy these days is a sea of uncertainty — CRE investors’ least favorite thing. From whipsaw tariffs to taxes seen as “revenge” against international players who don’t fall in line with Trump administration goals, money managers are increasingly tentative to put their money on American soil.

The Federal Reserve decided yet again to hold interest rates steady at the June FOMC meeting. But CRE sees a turning point.

27:36

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is being negotiated in the Senate, and how it gets hammered out could have major implications for commercial real estate. The breadth of possible impacts are huge, from the return of bonus depreciation, which could finally make the math work on deals, to qualified business income deductions allowing CRE to write off m…

In this latest episode I introduce FieldSense — a structured yet human approach to working through complex issues as a leadership team. Too often, the capacity in senior teams isn’t unleashed as they try to solve gnarly problems or issues - not because the people aren’t capable, but because they’re talking at cross purposes, each operating from a d…

6:24

Remember when good character was something a leader strived to be known for? It seems that now, not so much. In my latest podcast episode, The Erosion of Character, I explore whether character has truly gone out of fashion—or if we’re simply seeing a battle over what “good character” means. Is it now simply a matter of debate? When humiliation, int…
