First quarter review: Capital raising and investment trends

Complimentary Live, Interactive CE Virtual Forums

March 22-24, 2022

A unique event designed exclusively for CRE executives and investors paneled by leading authorities and other subject matter experts

The commercial real estate market has turned a corner, thanks to a recovering economy and increasing demand in virtually all asset classes. Nearly every segment of the industry is now in the midst of a robust recovery from pandemic-led shutdowns. And some segments — such as industrial and multifamily — are now exceeding their pre-pandemic peaks.

What impact will inflation, interest rate hikes, labor shortages and increased costs for construction materials have on commercial real estate owners and investors? And what are the new private investment structures that will help fuel what many now foresee as a record year for commercial real estate investment?

Join us and listen in as thought-leaders in commercial real estate investment explain how they’re successfully approaching the market in 2022.
