Pandora’s Box is Open
Has real estate changed forever?
- LP exposure to commercial real estate - are we worried?
- The cycle - real estate is over, is this the age of asset management?
- Valuations & pricing - how can we safeguard assets through these volatile times?
- Opportunities - Credit, debt or value add?
- Refinancing - More struggles on the capital structure to come?
- Dry Powder - Still available for new deals or kept for bailing out existing deals?
14:50-15:50
Space 3.0 - A new era for tenant demand?
- Creating value - Work the assets to get returns, how easy for capital markets?
- Just a game for opportunistic players or liquidity starting to gleam through?
- Real Estate as a service/business - Reset risk/reward and values?
- Which operational real estate assets make investment sense, and where?
- Experience-led Assets - Is RE evolving into an operational asset class?
- ESG - How to implement real solutions and pave the way to property success?
16:15-17:15
Offices
Any way back or conversions only defence?
- The great retrenchment - what could possibly work for office financing?
- USA distress - Europe falling prey to the same challenges, or markets very distinct?
- Office winners - location, location but essentially needing revaluations?
- Office losers - can repurposing to serviced resi ignite some yield hunt appetite?
- Obsolescence dangers - is ESG the only risk to factor in?
- The Customer is no longer King! They are judge, jury and executioners of real estate values, what do they want from office space?
