Berkadia

Last month, Berkadia hosted the 4th Commercial Real Estate Symposium in Hyderabad, India, bringing together industry leaders from across the U.S. CRE sector. With insightful discussions on macroeconomic trends, technological advances, and the evolving political landscape, the event was a hub of knowledge and innovation. A big thank you to all 700 Berkadians and speakers for making this event a success! Together, we're shaping the future of CRE.

As we conclude Q1 2025, we're reflecting on the insights gathered from the Single-Family Rental & Build-to-Rent discussions at the IMN conference in Nashville last month. Rising home costs continue to enhance the appeal of rentals. Despite a slowdown in construction and a significant bid-ask gap, demand remains robust, with fierce competition for quality deals.
