White papers2025 Global Public Real Estate Outlook Report
In last year’s outlook report, we anticipated that REITs were on the verge of takeoff in 2024. By summer, REITs hit the inflection point we were anticipating, and investor sentiment improved significantly towards the asset class. However, more cautious commentary during the Federal Reserve’s December meeting around future rate cuts led to a sharp market pullback in the final weeks of 2024. Despite this, global REITs ended the year with a mid-single-digit positive return.

Additionally, section 899 (which was expected to have negative implications for foreign investment in the U.S., given its retaliatory tax measures) was removed from the final bill. Bottom line, the final bill is widely viewed to have net positive implications for the U.S. commercial real estate market.

White papersChicago Multifamily: Fundamentals Outpacing Perceptions
Nationally, commercial real estate total returns declined by an average of 3.4% annually from the 2022 peak through 1Q 2025 (Exhibit 1), primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes. While these macro headwinds have affected all markets, our attention is now shifting to local supply-and-demand fundamentals, which will increasingly determine performance. In this context, Chicago’s multifamily sector stands out: After years of underperformance, it now appears poised to close — and potentially reverse — its valuation gap relative to peers.
