En este episodio de El punto de vista de Peachtree, Greg Friedman da la bienvenida David Bitner, directora global de investigación y directora general ejecutiva de Newmark, para un debate en profundidad sobre el panorama inmobiliario comercial. Abarcan las principales tendencias económicas y de mercado, incluido el impacto de unas tasas de interés más altas y sostenidas, la evolución del mercado de deuda y las oportunidades de inversión en un entorno que cambia rápidamente. Un tema importante del debate es cómo las tasas de interés más altas siguen modificando las valoraciones de los bienes raíces comerciales.
Inversores inmobiliarios comerciales y los operadores se enfrentan a un cambio fundamental en la dinámica del mercado, con la era de los tipos de interés ultrabajos en el espejo retrovisor. En una reveladora conversación con Greg Friedman, David Bitner, director global de investigación de Newmark, hace hincapié en que este cambio no es temporal, sino que es una característica permanente del panorama de la inversión que exige una recalibración completa de las expectativas y las estrategias.
De cara al futuro de este año, Bitner prevé una volatilidad continua de los tipos de interés, y es probable que el Tesoro a 10 años se sitúe entre el 3,8% y el rango medio del -5%. Esta volatilidad, junto con la actual incertidumbre económica, afectará significativamente a la actividad de las transacciones y a las valoraciones de los activos en todos los tipos de propiedades.
A pesar de estos desafíos, están surgiendo puntos positivos. Los mercados de oficinas mostraron su primera absorción neta positiva en 18 trimestres durante el cuarto trimestre de 2023, lo que sugiere un posible punto de inflexión. El sector industrial está a punto de recuperarse, especialmente en los mercados secundarios y terciarios, impulsado por las tendencias cercanas a la baja y por más de 530 000 millones de dólares en inversiones manufactureras planificadas. Las propiedades multifamiliares, especialmente las de nueva construcción, muestran una dinámica de precios atractiva en relación con el stock existente.
Para los inversores que buscan invertir capital, David sugiere un enfoque equilibrado con una asignación significativa a las inversiones en deuda, en las que los diferenciales parezcan más atractivos que las rentabilidades de las acciones. En particular, destaca las oportunidades que ofrecen los préstamos directos y la deuda intermedia, donde la rentabilidad puede alcanzar el 14%. Desde el punto de vista de la renta variable, señala las oportunidades de valor añadido que ofrecen las conversiones de oficinas que otorgan trofeos, aunque hace hincapié en la importancia fundamental de la selección de submercados.
El muro de los vencimientos de la deuda sigue siendo motivo de gran preocupación, ya que aproximadamente 2 billones de dólares en préstamos inmobiliarios comerciales vencerán en los próximos dos años. Si bien hasta ahora los bancos han empleado en gran medida una estrategia de «extender y fingir», David sugiere que la presión regulatoria y la disminución de las opciones de prórroga podrían obligar a adoptar más resoluciones en 2025, lo que llevaría a un aumento de la actividad transaccional y al descubrimiento de precios.
El podcast también aborda los posibles impactos en las políticas de la nueva administración, incluidos los aranceles propuestos y los esfuerzos de desregulación, que podrían crear desafíos y oportunidades para los mercados inmobiliarios comerciales.
Para los inversores y operadores de bienes raíces comerciales, 2025 promete ser un año de adaptación continua a las nuevas realidades del mercado. El éxito requerirá aceptar la volatilidad, ajustar las expectativas de rentabilidad y adoptar un enfoque más específico de las inversiones que abarque tanto las oportunidades de deuda como de capital.

Peachtree Group recently had the privilege of hosting David Bitner, a renowned expert in the commercial real estate industry, on our quarterly market update call. As the global head of research for Newmark, a leading commercial real estate advisor, David's insights on the ongoing transition in commercial real estate (CRE) were invaluable. His discussion outlined a significant shift in the commercial real estate market, highlighting the transition from a low-interest rate environment post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to a period of higher rates that are reshaping investment strategies.
Highlights from the conversation included:
Overall, the discussion highlights a transformative period in the commercial real estate market, prompted by the shift to a higher interest rate environment. This change presents an opportunity to refine investment strategies, enabling investors to navigate and capitalize on the evolving market dynamics effectively.
Peachtree's track record in commercial real estate is impressive. Our team has thrived through three significant economic disruptions. Our senior leaders have been instrumental in that success. Recently we asked those leaders to reflect on their lessons learned and share how that experience has shaped their thought process moving forward.
Here are a few of those insights.
"Building a formidable team is crucial for realizing your vision. Select individuals based on their exceptional skills and expertise and then trust them to excel in their roles. Empowering your team unlocks their full potential, driving extraordinary results and propelling your organization to new heights."
Greg Friedman and Jatin Desai – Managing Principals
“Foresight is critical in the investment process, requiring continuous consideration of macroeconomic conditions alongside local economic factors. This dual analysis enables us to identify nuanced opportunities and manage risks more effectively. By integrating global and regional insights, we can make more informed and strategic decisions, enhancing the potential for the investment's long-term success."
Greg Friedman, Managing Principal and CEO
“Ensure sufficient liquidity to maintain resilience. We have implemented and consistently maintained this approach for our Funds. While it may impact internal rates of return (IRR), it will allow us to endure market volatility and retain assets. Asset values typically rebound if adequate capital is available to weather downturns.”
Jatin Desai, Managing Principal and CFO
“Navigating through development always entails its share of challenges and victories, a reality underscored especially during Covid. While previous downturns primarily revolved around financial aspects, the pandemic introduced disruptions in cost, labor, and material supply chains. Reaching a semblance of normalcy took nearly three years, during which we remained steadfast in risk mitigation across these fronts. Adaptations in processes, timing, procurement strategies, and collaborations with skilled contractors were pivotal in this regard. Despite each disruption, we observed a consistent upward trend in average daily rates, particularly for newer or like-new assets.”
Mitul Patel, Principal
“Anticipate various exit scenarios: While one of our investments succeeded with the SBA refinance strategy, another encountered challenges. Legal issues with the borrower disqualified them from SBA eligibility, leading to loan refinance challenges. In hindsight, we were too dependent on a single exit source and now underwrite deals to ensure there are several (refinance, sale, loan sale) exit options available.”
Michael Harper, President, Hotel Lending
“Constant exposure to various transactions across different levels has enabled us to recognize patterns and anticipate issues during negotiations. This depth of experience has honed our ability to streamline the process, focusing on the crucial issues and avoiding unnecessary distractions. Ultimately, efficiency is paramount.”
Kevin Cadin, General Counsel
“The priority lies in cultivating a pipeline rather than managing individual transactions. The true value lies in the pipeline itself, not the deals outlined in term sheets. This approach grants the freedom to negotiate without the pressure of immediate results. Consequently, I rarely push terms or additional proceeds because I know the depth of additional opportunities and have confidence in the channels that have been developed to continue generating opportunities.”
Daniel Siegel, Principal and President, CRE
“The90% rule. It is often better to make a decision with 90% of the information or90% of what you would ideally like an output to be. That last 10% which is for perfection often leads to analysis paralysis and the opportunity cost of waiting is often greater than the value achieved in getting the last 10%. There is no such thing as perfect.”
Brian Waldman, Chief Investment Officer
