NEW
YORK, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The CRE
Finance Council (CREFC), the trade association that exclusively
represents the nearly $6 trillion
commercial and multifamily real estate finance industry, is pleased
to announce its September 18, 2024,
Capital Markets Conference in New York
City.
This one-day event features a series of panels examining a wide
range of issues top of mind for commercial real estate (CRE)
finance market participants who have managed a protracted period of
elevated interest rates, a rapidly evolving regulatory environment,
and an array of unique challenges that impact income-producing
properties.
The Conference features seasoned market professionals who will
detail how the industry is managing a sizable wall of CRE debt
maturities. Today's challenges are particularly acute given a still
elevated rate environment and uncertainty surrounding CRE property
valuations. Panelists will focus on key servicing issues in today's
challenging markets, such as refinancing commercial mortgages at
today's substantially higher mortgage rates relative to the
original loan. Other key topics include borrowers' search for
alternative sources of liquidity. Attendees will learn about the
health of the securitized market, the role of debt funds, and
how changes in regulations, notably Basel III, impact bank lending,
and general market liquidity.
Featured panels include:
- Wall of Maturities – Fact or Fiction
- State of the Market: Servicer Perspective
- Bank Balancing Act: Challenges and Opportunities for
Lending
- Out of the Shadows? Nonbank Lending in Today's Economy
- New Issue Roundtable: State of the Securitized Market
When: September 18, 2024
Where: Conrad New York Downtown, 102 North End Ave, New York, NY, 10282

"Commercial real estate finance market participants have

said Lisa Pendergast, Executive
Director, CREFC.
"This year's comprehensive program considers the CRE finance
market's risks and opportunities at a time when participants face a
wave of debt maturities, and sources of liquidity are shifting with

environment."
