Edward Casas and Darin Buchalter discuss our conservative outlook on the rate of recovery for commercial real estate markets. In our newest edition of the Real Estate Quarterly Dialogue, we discuss “The Changing Landscape of CMBS: Moving to CMBS 2.0.” The commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) industry has undergone a transformation in recent years that prompted industry participants to coin the phrase “CMBS 2.0” in an attempt to distinguish between CMBS loans originated prior to the sudden, dramatic cessation of CMBS lending activities at the end of 2007 (“CMBS 1.0”) and those loans originated after lending resumed at markedly different volumes and terms in 2010 (“CMBS 2.0”).
Perspectives
Our quarterly report discusses our cautious view on the rate of recovery of the commercial real estate markets in "Tempering Local Optimism."
