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.

CRE Capital Is Moving Again — But Not Everywhere | November 24, 2025

📄 DESCRIPTION
In today’s 3-minute CRE360 Signal Brief, we break down how U.S. commercial real estate capital markets are behaving as we head into December.

Rate cuts have begun, but liquidity isn’t uniform. Multifamily and industrial are seeing capital surge back in. Office remains gridlocked in workouts. Retail is rebounding selectively. Hospitality is margin-constrained.

We cover sector-by-sector signals on lending volumes, cap rate movement, distress exposure, and transaction flow — plus a sharp outlook on what refinancing risks and spread compression mean for Q1 2026.

Get clear, underwriting-ready insight across:

• Capital flows and credit bifurcation
• CRE lending volumes and spreads
• Sector-specific pricing, distress, and recovery trends
• How sponsors and lenders are positioning ahead of the 2026 maturity wall

A cooling consumer environment is pressuring retail real estate, with Home Depot’s weaker earnings signaling rising credit and leasing risk for big-box–anchored centers. Conduit loan spreads have widened as lenders focus more heavily on tenant durability. Residential construction is slowing but stabilizing, with builders working through large backlogs rather than retreating. New-home sales are up sharply, and market power is consolidating as large builders maintain pricing through incentives and scale advantages. Across sectors, capital is prioritizing resilience, disciplined underwriting, and tenant quality. Looking ahead, Q4 earnings, credit-spread bifurcation, and builder land activity will shape risk sentiment.

A strategic shift is reshaping real estate and energy capital flows. Constellation Energy is offloading the legacy risk of Three Mile Island Unit 2 to EnergySolutions, a move tied to over $1B in decommissioning liabilities. Blackstone’s latest global real estate fund closed at $17.2B—30% below its 2019 peak—reflecting tighter institutional discipline. Investors are increasingly exiting older energy infrastructure, with U.S. fossil-fuel asset sales reaching $8B YTD. ESG pressures and regulatory risk are accelerating capital rotation into renewables. Overall, risk repricing is defining the cycle, rewarding operators able to shed liabilities and deploy capital into higher-value opportunities.

A wave of capital is shifting toward specialty CRE assets, with Google’s $4B Texas data center highlighting strong investor demand for digital infrastructure as traditional sectors weaken. The U.S. faces a $660B commercial mortgage maturity wall through 2026, with office and retail distress rising while industrial and multifamily remain resilient. Regional banks are pulling back, spreads are widening, and refinancing risk is mounting. A broader multi-asset selloff and rising Treasury yields are tightening liquidity across CRE. In this cycle, capital is favoring mission-critical, scalable assets, pushing legacy sectors into deeper price discovery and selective recapitalizations.

In this episode of the CRE360 Signal Daily Brief, we unpack BlackRock and ACS’s $27B global data center venture and what it means for institutional capital flows, examine Walmart’s CEO transition and its impact on logistics-focused retail real estate, and break down Tesla’s supply chain pivot away from China.
