Episode 35: Where Smart Money Is Going — Data Centers, Industrial, and BTR Lead 2026

from Hot Not CRE · host Hot Not CRE

Welcome back to What's Hot, What's Not C.R.E. — your daily pulse on commercial real estate in America. It's Friday, February 6th, 2026. Today we're tracking where institutional capital is flowing — and what smart money is avoiding. 🔥 What's Hot — Data Centers and Industrial Lead Capital Flows: Data centers are the undisputed winner for capital deployment in 2026. Hyperscalers projected to spend $300-600 billion on AI infrastructure this year alone. Data center sector in investment supercycle — up to $3 trillion needed by 2030. Global sector growing at 14% CAGR over next five years. $1.2 trillion in real estate asset value creation expected. Power availability now the primary site selection driver — not location or cost. Industrial logistics remains resilient: tenant demand stable from e-commerce, manufacturing, nearshoring. New construction 42% below 2023 peak — supply finally moderating. Build-to-rent gaining momentum: BTR expected to hit 15% of single-family housing starts within five years. ❄️ What's Not — Office Still Struggling, Floating Rate Debt Distress: Office remains the sector smart money is avoiding. Office-using jobs still haven't recovered to pre-COVID peaks. Class B and C office facing highest distress risk. Only trophy Class A in top CBDs seeing rent growth. 2021-2022 vintage floating rate deals under pressure from higher-for-longer rates. Europe attracting capital as investors question U.S. political resilience. 💡 Investor Takeaway: Follow the capital: data centers and industrial are where the smart money is going — that's a signal. Build-to-rent offers demographic tailwinds and stable cash flow. Office requires extreme selectivity — trophy or nothing. 2026 is about income and conviction — not speculation.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
