What We'll Cover

What You'll Learn From This Webinar

  • How multifamily maintains its dominance at nearly half of all capital raised, and where challenges are emerging as supply increases and lease-up pressure grows for Class A assets.

  • Why industrial surged to nearly 36% of returns in Q4 — almost matching multifamily — as the development pipeline drops more than 60% and e-commerce demand continues expanding.

  • What's behind the dramatic late-year residential surge, which jumped from 5.67% of capital raise projects in Q1 to 39.61% in Q4, and whether that momentum carries into 2026.

  • How the Southeast grew its share of total investment returns from 28.57% in 2024 to 40.51% in 2025, and what population growth and supply dynamics are driving that shift.

  • What state-level data reveals about where capital is accelerating and cooling — including Florida's investor returns jumping over five points and California declining by nearly four.

  • Why retail and mixed-use gained momentum throughout 2025, and what's changed in investor perception of these once-avoided asset classes.

  • How debt funds now account for 37% of closings and what the rise of alternative lenders means for how sponsors structure their capital stack.

  • Where infrastructure is headed as the global AI market drives an estimated $3 trillion in investment over the next five years through data center and power infrastructure demand.

  • What quarterly return volatility across asset classes reveals about shifting investor sentiment — and how top firms are timing deals and capital raises in response.

  • What the data signals about where capital will concentrate in 2026 and how to position your strategy ahead of it.

How You'll Do More Business From Attending This Webinar

Capital is concentrating fast. Ten states accounted for nearly 67% of total investment returns in 2025. The Southeast captured 42% of all capital raised. And with 75% of investors planning to increase acquisitions in 2026, competition for well-positioned deals and LP attention will only intensify.

This panel will break down real fundraising and performance data from over 1,000 real estate firms to give you a clear picture of where capital is flowing — and why. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights to:

  • Align asset class focus with where capital is actually flowing in 2026.

  • Target the regions and markets showing the strongest return momentum.

  • Understand the industrial opportunity before the pipeline recovers.

  • Rethink capital stack construction as alternative lenders gain share.

  • Prepare for infrastructure as a core allocation — not a speculative one.

Whether you're raising capital, deploying it, or advising clients, this session will help you make more informed, data-backed decisions that drive results.

Fellow Webinar Attendees Include

Real estate investment managers, general partners, capital markets professionals, acquisitions and development leaders, LP relations professionals, private equity firms, family offices, institutional investors, debt originators, and executives responsible for fundraising, portfolio strategy, and investor relations.

Why You Should Attend This Session

  • Identify emerging opportunities in sectors like residential, industrial, and infrastructure before they're fully priced in.

  • Adapt fundraising strategies to a market increasingly shaped by alternative lenders and evolving capital stacks.

  • Prepare for 2026 as acquisition activity accelerates and competition for quality deals intensifies.
