The TreppWire Podcast: A Commercial Real Estate Show

This episode is sponsored by EisnerAmper.

Resiliency is the word of 2024, but uncertainty might be the word of the day. In this week’s episode of The TreppWire Podcast, we are joined by our Chief Economist to discuss mixed signals from the recent economic data, including contrasting PMI figures, retail sales growth, and the latest Fed rate cut. We also discussed the continued chatter around extend &  pretend, the unexpected resilience of the U.S. economy in 2024, and what to expect for 2025. We break down Flagstar Bank's sale of troubled NY loans, value reductions across office properties in Philadelphia and San Francisco, and major portfolio loans entering special servicing including the $1.23 billion Workspace Property Trust Portfolio and $379.1 million Selig Office Portfolio. We also discuss Party City mulling a second bankruptcy, significant multifamily sales, and California's rejection of Prop 33. Tune in now.
