최근의 시장 업데이트 콜에서는 레이몬드 제임스의 최고 투자 책임자인 래리 애덤과 피치트리 그룹의 매니징 CEO 겸 CEO인 그렉 프리드먼, 피치트리 그룹의 주식 자본 시장 담당 부사장인 다니엘 새비지의 의견을 들어보았습니다.토론에서 가장 눈에 띄는 순간 중 하나는 정치 사이클에 따라 시장 시간을 정하는 것보다 일관된 투자의 중요성을 강조하는 흥미로운 투자 사례였습니다.
생각해 보십시오. 1970년부터 주식 시장에 1만 달러를 투자하고 공화당 대통령 재임 기간에만 계속 투자했다면 지금쯤이면 투자액이 약 133,000달러로 증가했을 것입니다.반대로 민주당 대통령 재임 기간에만 투자를 계속했다면 포트폴리오는 약 70만 달러까지 치솟았을 것입니다.
이제 이 수치가 훨씬 더 설득력 있게 다가옵니다.어느 정당이 집권했든 상관없이 여러분이 시장에 온전히 투자했다면 초기 1만 달러는 인상적으로 평가되었을 것입니다. 160만 달러!
정치적 성향에 따라 시장 타이밍을 정하는 것은 일관된 투자 전략을 유지하는 것보다 덜 효과적인 것으로 입증되었습니다.래리 애덤이 지적했듯이 ”시장을 찾는 것보다 시장에 있는 것이 더 중요합니다.그게 중요한 교훈이라고 생각해요...”
정치적 변화에 따른 변동성은 투자자들이 물러서거나 성급한 결정을 내리도록 유혹할 수 있습니다.그러나 역사에 따르면 인내심을 갖고 모든 시장 상황에 투자한 투자자가 가장 큰 보상을 거두는 경향이 있습니다.

The commercial real estate industry has entered a transformative period defined by Chaos, Complexity, Complications and Creativity. The interplay of macro-economic pressures, financial challenges and anticipated policy changes from the new administration has created a volatile environment that demands adaptability and strategic thinking from stakeholders.
The chaos in CRE stems from structural shifts and economic headwinds reshaping the industry. Elevated interest rates have fundamentally altered investment returns, making debt more expensive and refinancing significantly harder. An ongoing "wall of debt maturities," totaling $3.6 trillion over the next 36 months, will force owners to manage or restructure obligations under far less favorable conditions than when loans were originated.
We are at historic levels of debt maturing as we are at the tail end of a wave of CRE loans maturing, many of which originated before 2022, particularly in 2014 and 2015, reflecting the prevalent 10-year loan terms of that period. To put this into context, the average interest rate on CRE loans originated in 2024 was roughly 6.2% versus the 4.3% rate on maturing mortgages—a nearly200-basis-point increase, according to S&P Global.
Meanwhile, the new administration's plans to cut costs and tighten immigration policies introduce uncertainty, complicating operational and labor-related decisions. While the immigration policy discussions may create short-term volatility, its impact on long-term CRE investments is expected to be minimal. These discussions serve as an "eye candy" distraction without substantial consequences for capital deployment or the asset class's attractiveness.
These factors foster a chaotic and volatile environment, disrupting traditional approaches to ownership, transactions and refinancing.
CRE investments are inherently complex, and the current chaotic market magnifies these challenges. Rising debt obligations now exceed asset performance, particularly as rent growth and NOI struggle to keep pace with increasing costs. Market stress varies across sectors, with some assets thriving while others falter under outdated financing terms and reduced liquidity.
The complications stemming from broken capital stacks and operational challenges are expected to peak this year. Higher interest rates and more conservative lending criteria make debt restructuring increasingly tricky. Insurance and heightened compliance costs exacerbate inefficiencies, further straining asset performance.
In this challenging environment, creativity is no longer optional but essential. Owners and investors must adopt innovative strategies to structure deals, recapitalize assets and maintain competitiveness.
Strategies like CPACE financing, which enhances building efficiency while addressing funding gaps, and EB-5 investments, which access foreign capital through immigrant investor programs, offer viable solutions. Preferred equity and mezzanine debt can fill capital stack gaps, while private credit provides customized financing arrangements tailored to asset-specific needs. Creative structuring, such as Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), maximizes tax advantages and enhances cash flow predictability.
Tax considerations should also play a vital role in determining your investment strategies. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) offer appealing solutions for 1031 exchange investors seeking tax deferral and portfolio diversification through high-quality assets.
Opportunity Zones remain one of the most significant tax benefits across the country while furthering the cause of urban redevelopment. These tax-advantaged instrument allows investors to reduce their tax burdens and extract more value from their CRE investments.
This year will be a watershed moment for commercial real-estate stakeholders. The erratic nature of the market means that financial tools must be intimately understood, and alternative approaches embraced. Success will come down to adaptability, innovation and a deep understanding of market dynamics. Although the headwinds will be persistent, this environment provides unique opportunities for those who are prepared to embrace the four Cs and help define a creative way forward.
The Peachtree Group team will share their insights into how the market is shaping up and how they plan to adapt their strategies to navigate Chaos, Complexity, Complications and Creativity. Each aims to overcome the headwinds and seize the opportunities presented in this transformative period for the commercial real estate industry.

The Outlook For Commercial Real Estate in 2025
Despite markets bracing for more deregulation under President-elect Donald Trump, Greg Friedman says higher interest rates will damage commercial real estate. He believes regional banks will stay conservative in a high-rate environment, which can squeeze the CRE market. However, Greg says his firm has seen success in multi-family and retail spaces.
