What Types of Activity Are Likely to Drive the Market Throughout 2024?
Types of activity will take the form of:
- Direct asset purchases/sales: In the near-term, this period of illiquidity is affording private capital the opportunity to step into a significantly less competitive market today to directly acquire assets.
- Recapitalizations: This period is also offering a significant opportunity for equity to come in and recapitalize assets where existing ownership doesn’t want to part with the asset entirely.
- Lender-facilitated note sales: Private equity capital can also come in and purchase the distressed loans/note sales.
- Diversification of debt sources: Finally, private debt funds can also step into an illiquid market today and effectively take advantage of the distress throughout the marketplace as opposed to distress of a given asset.

Where Do You Think We Will See Active Capital Flows on the Sell Side? Who Will Be Sellers?
- Owners facing necessity-based conditions who are finally coming to terms with the higher-cost of capital environment.
- Sellers facing debt maturities—particularly those that bought at the peak with shorter-term, bridge-loan financing.
- ODCE funds and non-traded REITs facing elevated redemption and withdrawal requests.
- Even private funds that aren’t experiencing elevated redemptions; they might still decide to meet the market if they are experiencing declining portfolio cash flows and property valuations.
- Closed-end funds and separate accounts with assets that have achieved business plans, looking to liquidate and get their promotes.
