We examine federal intervention in the PennStation redevelopment and Boston's looming $1 billion tax bill. On the property front, we discuss a Texas multifamily loan that defaulted shortly after origination, multifamily transactions across the country, concerning office delinquency rates in key MSAs, and Harwood International's office portfolio recapitalization in Dallas.
