Back in the Game: As lenders return, CRE financing options expand
About this episode
The episode discusses the expansion of financing options in commercial real estate as lenders return to the market.
More debt capital is available for commercial real estate investment. CBRE Investment Management’s Ty Gerschick and CBRE’s Tom Burns break down what’s happening across today’s debt markets, how borrowers can navigate a more competitive lending landscape and what capital availability means for real estate investment across property types and investment strategies. · The return of banks—particularly regional banks—has expanded financing options and increased competition across the financing landscape. · Higher‑for‑longer interest rates are shifting investor focus toward operational performance and sustainable cash flow rather than exit‑driven returns. · Lenders are underwriting selectively, with scrutiny of debt coverage, leverage, and asset fundamentals. · Capital is flowing back into debt funds, CMBS and preferred equity, though competition remains intense.
