Bert Erik shares valuable insights on the current challenges facing the real estate market and draws comparisons between the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and today's market conditions. He emphasises the differences, particularly in banking practices, that make the current situation less vulnerable. Bert also discusses the impact of remote work on the demand for office spaces, the rise in interest rates, and the need for repurposing assets to meet sustainability standards. Discover how institutional investors like PIMCO are leaning toward debt investments and why there's still room for optimism in the real estate market. Don't miss this engaging conversation on the evolving landscape of commercial real estate. Takeaways: • Banks are less exposed to real estate risks, reducing the likelihood of massive bank failures. • Remote work is prompting a reevaluation of office space needs, potentially leading to a surplus of vacant spaces. • Rising interest rates are impacting financing and valuation of real estate assets. • Repurposing non-prime assets to meet sustainability and demand for flexible spaces is a challenge but necessary. • Institutional investors like PIMCO are favoring debt investments over equity in the current market.
