Chad Tredway, managing director and head of real estate Americas at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, was a guest on the latest episode of the REIT Report podcast.
Tredway said the current environment represents “the best buying opportunity” for commercial real estate. Fundamentals are strong and investors are in a position to purchase assets at a 10% to 30% discount compared with pre-2022 levels, “which represents an amazing return.”
“Now is a great entry point for those that have capital. And we also see hope on the horizon as we believe rates will come down...we think it's a great time to think about long-term investment in this space and we do believe in real estate as a long-term anchor for portfolios,” Tredway said.
During the interview, Tredway also discussed the current lending climate for commercial real estate, public and private real estate valuations, the appetite for risk, opportunities in the REIT space, and more.
