In this episode of CRE 360 Signal™ rate clarity is finally emerging — just as construction costs begin drifting upward again. We break down why a potential December 2025 rate cut may improve timing but won’t immediately fix project economics, and how long-end yields continue to shape refinance outcomes, cap rates, and development feasibility.

We dig into the renewed rise in U.S. construction input costs, shifting contractor sentiment, and what this means for 2026 project starts. From budget creep and procurement delays to tighter underwriting standards, this episode explores the growing “feasibility squeeze” developers must navigate.

The takeaway is clear: rate relief helps — but cost discipline determines the outcome. Tune in for the insights operators need to stay ahead of the 2026 feasibility landscape.

highlights how a major mortgage software breach is driving a surge in demand for Tier-4 data centers and pushing lenders to tighten underwriting around digital and physical security. Industrial construction is up 21% month-over-month, but growth is concentrated in megaprojects tied to AI and advanced manufacturing. Regional data center operators face rising compliance costs and tougher partnership standards, widening the gap between certified and legacy assets. The report underscores that cyber risk has become a core real-estate capital issue, reshaping investment flows, underwriting discipline, and operator strategies. Regulatory pressure and security-driven capital allocation are expected to intensify into 2026.
