NYC Commercial Real Estate Faces Major Stress from Rising Rates and Declining Rents
What happened
Ran Eliasaf, founder and managing partner of Northwind Group, stated that rising interest rates are causing major stress in the commercial real estate market. He noted that leasing velocity and rents are declining in New York City, even in multifamily properties. Eliasaf predicted that this trend, combined with the effect of rising rates on cap rates, could lead to a significant correction.
Why it matters
Eliasaf suggested the market distress could be as large as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. He warned that this stress could affect the balance sheets of CLO lenders and banks.
