Most conversations about commercial real estate are stuck on the wrong question: Is capital coming back?

In this episode, we break down three real-world signals from this week’s market activity that show what’s actually moving deals forward — not headlines, not forecasts, and not speculation.

We look at why a record-setting C-PACE financing backed by a publicly traded REIT signals a shift in how owners are structuring buildings, what rising transaction volume really tells us about asset-level judgment, and why interest rate expectations matter far less than most people think when deals are underwritten correctly.

This is not a market outlook episode.
