In the conclusion of Season 1, Cushman & Wakefield's Chief Economist, Kevin Thorpe, sits down with Sam Tenenbaum, Head of Multifamily Insights for Cushman & Wakefield, to discuss how hot topics in the news could impact the multifamily commercial real estate market. They analyze the impact of tariffs, proposed and enacted, as well as how changing immigration rates, and increased enforcement, could impact the multifamily sector. Both of them also lay out their predictions and forecasts for the economy and commercial real estate in 2025.

With frequent changes in the strength of the stock market and federal interest rates, the debt markets have been in similar flux. Blake Okland and Alex Basile break down what the acronym EDSF stands for, how clients are navigating these changing markets, and what might be on the horizon this year.
