What to Expect at the National Finance Event

Join us in New York City for our National Commercial Real Estate Finance Conference on Wednesday, September 30th. Bisnow's premier finance conference, hosted annually in New York City will also feature coffee and capital, which is an informal roundtable-type discussion where investors will discuss what investment opportunities they are looking for. There will be an opportunity for 20+ people to give a brief pitch and is a great opportunity for investors to discuss deals they are looking for and a way to find new capital partners. 

 

What You’ll Learn:

  • How elevated (but stabilizing) interest rates, inflation trends and capital market uncertainty are shaping both short-term decision making and long-term investment strategies.
  • Where debt is actually getting done today, from banks to private credit, and how spreads, leverage and structure are evolving across the capital stack.
  • How investors are sourcing acquisitions in a market defined by stalled price discovery, selective distress and opportunities to buy assets at a lower basis.
  • What equity partners, from institutional LPs to increasingly active family offices, are looking for in sponsors, structures and risk-adjusted returns.
  • How borrowers are navigating the wave of maturing loans, including extensions, restructurings, recapitalizations and creative refinancing solutions.
  • The reality of today’s development environment and how projects are getting financed despite high costs, tighter underwriting and capital constraints.
  • The growing role of adaptive reuse and conversions, and how financing strategies are evolving to support office-to-residential and other repositionings.
  • How lenders and investors are balancing risk and return today, including where they are pulling back and where they are leaning in across asset classes and markets.
  • What macroeconomic signals are most influencing deal volume, pricing and investor sentiment heading into 2026.
