Commercial real estate investments have increasingly demonstrated resilience in weathering economic downturns. Significant growth in demand for US commercial real estate investments is one of the primary drivers supporting said resilience during recent downturns. Capital markets have seen marked increases in the amount of investment dollars allocated to real estate investments by institutional investors, investment fundamentals and performance and have been attractive globally, and continue to become more accessible to individual investors through REITs, “crowd funding”, and other alternative investment offerings. Comparatively, real estate investments have remained attractive from a tax perspective generally, and in relation to other alternative investments. This session will be a discussion about the current headwinds and opportunities that the commercial real estate investment community is evaluating in current market conditions and recent legislative and tax policy perspectives.
