Description:
The landscape for industrial and office properties is changing faster than any time since WW II. The economy is wracked by tariff rates never experienced, deregulation is rapidly happening, federal employment has fallen by 9% in 2025 after decades of expansion and the Fed has continually flip flopped on interest rates strategy. Meanwhile, AI has transformed demand via data centers and threatens massive changes in office demand. All this occurs as technology has changed where we work and shop. This session will explore the key forces impacting office and industrial space demand. It will also evaluate whether these factors portend a dramatic restructuring of how these property sectors operate or whether they are merely the most recent incremental changes of an ever-evolving operating scenario.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to:
1. understand the current state of the US economy
2. how the economy impacts property level NOI
3. understand the status of real estate capital markets
4. understand how cap rates are impacted by the changing environment
5. better understand changing office demand
6. evaluate data center challenges
7. a redevelopment outlook of obsolete office properties
