Why you should attend South Florida Capital Markets & CRE Finance
Why This Matters:
With billions in commercial real estate loans maturing over the next 12 months, South Florida sits at the crossroads of capital recalibration and opportunity. Credit spreads have widened, equity remains cautious, and deal flow is far from 2021 highs yet lenders and investors still see strong fundamentals in key asset classes. This forum brings together the region’s most active lenders, investors, and financial strategists to explore where capital is available, how underwriting standards have evolved, and what it takes to get deals across the finish line in today’s market.
What You Will Learn:
How capital is being deployed across South Florida CRE amid a higher-rate environment
The state of credit and equity markets: where spreads, risk, and liquidity stand today
How top lenders and borrowers are navigating refinancing challenges and loan maturities
Strategies for structuring construction, bridge, and stabilized loans in the current market
Where private credit, institutional debt, and alternative capital are filling the gaps

The State of Capital Markets
The capital is out there, but it’s not evenly distributed. Credit markets are bifurcating, with high-quality deals receiving competitive terms while riskier assets face steep hurdles. Equity remains selective as muted transactions create uncertainty. This panel offers a macro-level view of today’s capital markets, examining how lenders, investors, and private equity platforms are navigating spreads, liquidity, and risk. Panelists will provide perspective on where capital is flowing, how terms are evolving, and what it all means for developers, owners, and investors in South Florida. |

With billions in CRE loans maturing over the next 12 months and development costs still volatile, the question isn’t just “where is the capital?” but “how do I access it for my deal today?” This panel dives into the practical side of securing financing for acquisitions, new construction, and recapitalizations. Experts will discuss how to structure deals to attract both debt and equity, what types of projects are most financeable, and how borrowers can navigate today’s tougher underwriting environment. From bridge loans to construction financing, you’ll gain real-world insights into making deals happen in today’s market. |
