Last week, I had a discussion with Dominic Chu at @CNBC about the misperception that distress in commercial real estate poses a risk to capital markets, the banking system, and the wider economy. Unfortunately, the sector is often seen through the lens of the office market, which indeed confronts numerous hurdles. Yet even there, we see a divided landscape: modern, smaller, suburban office buildings show an average vacancy rate of 11.5%, in contrast to large, older, urban constructions which approach 25%.   It's important to remember that there is a substantial variation across commercial real estate asset classes and as such, I continue to point to the varied conditions among different product types, their rent and occupancy profiles, and the degree of loan performance-related distress.   The rapid rise in interest rates and the unlikely scenario that rates will revert to near zero mean price adjustments. However, the degree of re-valuation must be based on each market, product type, and situation. We are seeing examples of situational distress caused by maturing loans in all property types, where our team is helping owners raise equity, recapitalize, or restructure deals or execute sales. Although there are growing opportunities for astute buyers, a wave of fire sale-priced quality assets is unlikely.    For more insights, the full conversation is available at: https://lnkd.in/gUSXwiJZ
