KBRA Releases CREFC January Conference 2025 – Day 2 Recap

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases its Day 2 recap of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) January Conference 2025. Day 2 opened with an Industry Roundtable, which covered a wide range of topics. This was followed by three forums including issuers, investment-grade bondholders, and servicers. The keynote session featured a conversation with Ron Howard who discussed his childhood, media roles, and filmmaking. Rounding out the day’s events were sessions on both legislative developments and lending on alternative commercial real estate (CRE) asset classes. A Young Professionals (YP) session was also held, featuring various YPs from the CRE industry who discussed their roles and responsibilities.

During the luncheon session, Lisa Pendergast, Executive Director of CREFC, noted that the conference attendance was at an all-time high, subsequently thanking co-chairs, members, and the CREFC staff. Ms. Pendergast took this opportunity to highlight the positive direction the CRE industry is headed for in 2025. She then cited three major ongoing initiatives of the trade group: the fine tuning of CMBS 4.0, the standardization of the commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation (CRE CLO) investor reporting package (IRP), and the development of an open-end debt fund advocate.
