Drawing on perspectives from institutional, advisory, and family ownership backgrounds, the conversation highlights how investment strategy is shaped by time horizon, capital structure, and the role real estate plays within a broader portfolio.The discussion covers where opportunities are emerging across subsectors and geographies, how families are thinking about tenant mix, leasing strategy, and operational complexity, and why factors like basis, functionality, and demand drivers often matter more than headline cap rates. The group also explores the tradeoffs between development and acquisition, single-tenant versus multi-tenant assets, and the importance of aligning debt strategy with long-term objectives.A central theme throughout is discipline—whether in deploying capital, managing generational transitions, or deciding when (or if) to exit assets.
