Starchitects, Swedish Whales & an SF Hotel Heist

This week, we look back at the skyline-shaping impact of 2 starchitects who’ve just left us – Robert A.M. Stern and Frank Gehry – and then jump into a broader discussion about the pros & cons of name-brand architects. We dive into the industrial deal of the year, EQT’s 9M sf sale to Aum gobbler Artemis. And we have an exclusive tick-tock of a hotel megadeal in San Francisco, Newbond & Conversant's heist of 3,000 rooms in one fell swoop – it's a great window of what it takes to get a distressed CMBS trade across the finish line.To advertise: Reach out to [email protected] feedback: Write us at [email protected] And please rate us and write a review on Apple.Up your CRE game:  Consider becoming a premium subscriber to The Promote to unlock access to expert CRE content.
