In this week's episode of The TreppWire Podcast, we explore economic trends, the Fed’s policy dilemma, and government impacts on real estate, including NYC rent regulation. We highlight office real estate investment opportunities, particularly how low-occupancy properties in strong MSAs could present attractive, discounted buying opportunities. We also discuss consumer sentiment, tariff concerns, and why retailers continue to expand. Additional highlights include the conversion of a class C office building at 64 Fulton Street in Manhattan into residential units, a delinquent loan with major WeWork exposure, Kroger store closures, as well as notable multifamily transactions. Tune in now.
