William Cohan: The REIT Headache

On this episode of Closed! we chat with New York Times best selling author William Cohan about the current state of the commercial real estate market. The conversation focuses on how the dual blows of the pandemic and rapidly rising rates have put the squeeze on owners of class B real estate, and the holders of office focused REITs. Cohan also shares his thoughts on the what future looks like for this asset class, and how building owners are likely to respond. It's an extremely informative conversation and we hope you give it a listen. William D. Cohan, a former senior Wall Street M&A investment banker for 17 years at Lazard Frères & Co., Merrill Lynch and JPMorganChase, is the New York Times bestselling author of three non-fiction narratives about Wall Street: Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World; House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street; and, The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co., the winner of the 2007 FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award. To find out more about Bergstein Flynn Knowlton & Pollina PLLC, visit our website at bfkplaw.com.
