New York CRE's Annual Q4 Rush To Close Deals Will Be A 'Battle' This Year
By Miriam Hall
summary
Though 2023 was a historically slow one for commercial real estate deal-makers, there is still a ton of pressure to close deals before the end of the year. Less than $10B of deals are expected to close this year, according to Avison Young figures, which would be the lowest volume since 2009. New York real estate players said the endless grind of this year may be starting to ease, though most are operating in vastly different markets than years previous. Fried Frank Real Estate Group partner Michael Werner said he expects more of these high-profile scenarios before the year is out and into 2024. His work, he said, has included loan extensions and modifications and advising clients on what their options are.
