White papers2020 Isn’t Only Hindsight
By any conventional measure, the current recovery and expansion phase of the U.S. business cycle is the longest in the nation’s history. This naturally leads many to conclude that the economy, and by extension property markets, must be “late cycle” with an inevitable downturn just around the corner.

White papersU.S. Economic & Property Market Perspective Q1 2020
At the beginning of March, the U.S. economy was on pace to record another quarter of moderate but positive growth. Total employment had increased by 214,000 in January and 275,000 in February and the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s real-time model (GDPNow) suggested annualized real GDP growth of 2.5% for the quarter. Within a span of just a few weeks, that assessment was radically upended as more than 30 million American workers lost their jobs in the rapid shutdown of wide swathes of the U.S. economy in response to the equally rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

White papersWhat Happens After Listed Real Estate Falls?
It has been a month since the high watermark for listed real estate securities and other equities, and a week since the dam broke. Listed real estate has suffered even more than the broad market, especially in the past few days as public life began to shut down in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Hotels are empty, many malls and restaurants are shuttered, and most of us are working out of our homes rather than at our offices. Even after the March 24 rally, both U.S. and global listed real estate markets are down roughly 40% from their February peaks.

White papersAsia Pacific Market Perspective Q1 2020
Operating conditions and the investment outlook in the Asia Pacific region shifted dramatically over the first quarter. The market had severe restrictions imposed on it to bring the public health crisis of COVID-19 under control, and governments and central banks announced very large support packages to offset the costs of these restrictions. The current projections are for a sharp, but short-lived contraction in economic activity, concentrated in the first half of this year, with a resultant recovery in the second half of 2020 and rebound in 2021. The unknown part of this outlook is the effect any COVID-19 reoccurrence may have, and how disruptive that could be.

White papersMajor Shifts In Odce Sector Allocations Underway
Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, commercial real estate (CRE) demand and supply fundamentals were largely healthy in most markets and property sectors. The U.S. labor market and household formation had been very strong, driving robust demand for commercial space. Furthermore, relatively conservative underwriting and rising construction costs constrained new supply. In recent months, however, the global pandemic has led to a rapid downturn of the U.S economy, negatively impacting different industries and real estate dynamics.
