KBRA Releases CREFC January Conference 2023 – Day 2 Recap

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases its Day 2 recap of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) January Conference 2023.

Day 2 of the CREFC January conference opened with the Industry Leaders Roundtable, which has become a favorite over the years for its open and unrehearsed format. While the dialogue covered a broad range of topics, the session often reverted to discussions surrounding how to transact deals in the current market landscape owing to the uncertainty regarding interest rates and property values. It was noted several times during the session that it could take up to 12 months for visibility on these fronts to see transaction activity pick up.

In addition to the luncheon with keynote speaker and professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, there were four other panel sessions. These included: State of the Capital Markets; The Great Migration to South Florida: The View From Real Estate Stakeholders; Government Relations Update and Regulatory Pipeline; and Compare & Contrast: Lending Trends.
