Inflation, Private Credit, and Multifamily Survival The Gray Report Podcast

Recent reporting on commercial real estate financing has highlighted the role of private credit in providing funding for CRE sponsors/owners and delaying the need for a capital call, and despite the expectation of interest rate reductions later in the year, it is clear that private credit will remain an important tool in 2024. Newly-published reports on multifamily performance continue to clarify the near-term challenges for apartment operators, but data showing record vacancies for office properties presents a bleaker picture and signs of persistent shifts in remote/in-person work that could lead to more sustained housing demand in the future.
