Caliber and the Nasdaq joined forces to lead a discussion on the growing opportunities in distressed commercial real estate. Caliber’s Chris Loeffler and Nasdaq’s U.S. Economist Michael Normyle were joined by Bradley Cosman, Firmwide Chair of the Bankruptcy & Restructuring Practice at Perkins Coie, and Lawrence Taylor, President of Taylor Strategy Group, in a wide-ranging conversation about the current shift from a development-focused real estate cycle to one marked by distress.
While distressed assets in the U.S. market now total nearly $80 billion, savvy investors are capitalizing on this cycle by acquiring undervalued properties, which offer significant opportunities for developers with the right strategies and experience. The panelists addressed the latest economic data that underlie the current and near-term opportunities for investment in distressed assets and shared their experiences in how these investment deals are developed.
