For the past year, we’ve seen a lot of predictions in commercial real estate (CRE) around the looming “wall of debt” facing commercial assets. Many owners face a difficult refinancing environment as their loans come due, and NAI Global’s Arthur Milston previously predicted a wave of distressed assets that would hit the market in 2024.

A growing trend over the past few years has been rising investor interest in non-traditional property types. Specialist offerings, like medical office and data centers, have become breakout darlings of the industry, and seem set to continue driving investment volume this year.
