Leverage this momentum but stay focused on high-performing sectors to ride the recovery.
Plan for higher capital costs — lock in rates where possible, explore creative financing, and shore up cash flows ahead of debt maturities.
Exercise caution with office assets. Focus on quality locations or conversion opportunities, and be prepared to negotiate with lenders as the sector finds its footing.
Pivot toward sectors with solid fundamentals. Industrial and apartment properties remain attractive for acquisitions and development, and well-located retail can offer steady income as the economy improves.
Think outside the box – consider unlocking equity via sale-leasebacks, hunt for bargains with patient capital, and work with lenders on proactive loan workouts to navigate the current financial landscape.
