Can CRE Good Will Sidestep a Hurricane, Labor Strike, and War?

The CRE Weekly Digest by LightBox

Join Martha, Manus, and Dianne on this week’s episode of the CRE Weekly Digest as they dive into the impact of Hurricane Helene and the industry's move toward a Property Resilience Assessment to better measure environmental risk. The team also reveals the latest LightBox CRE Activity Index, which rose modestly in September, signaling growing confidence in the CRE market. Listen to the discussion about how the Fed policy shift has fueled an increase in property listings and due diligence activities, setting the stage for a strong fourth quarter. But the young recovery could go wobbly with recent macro events like the devastation from the hurricane, the (now suspended) port labor strike, and escalating conflict in the Middle East. There are also notable office lease stories and sales comps across property types that round out the week's news. The team dedicates this podcast to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and the emergency personnel responding to the post-hurricane recovery efforts.
