The Market Delivers: Refinancing Strategies for the Maturity Wave

  

The commercial real estate finance industry is facing a significant wave of loan maturities over the next 18-24 months, challenging the market’s ability to refinance loans originated in a very different interest rate and valuation environment. As this maturity cycle unfolds, borrowers, lenders, servicers, and investors are reassessing risk, capital availability, and execution strategies.

Join us for a panel discussion experts from across the industry:

  • The maturity landscape and how this cycle differs from prior periods
  • Market dynamics shaping refinance feasibility 
    • Including today's rate environment, structural constraints, the reshuffling of market participants during this cycle — as debt funds and alternative lenders stepped in to fill voids, developers deployed preferred and rescue capital, and traditional lenders adapted their roles or stepped back to work through existing portfolios 
  • Refinancing risk across property types, lender platforms, and loan origination timeframes — including the role of short-term debt and preferred equity in interim refinancings and workouts
  • Workout and extension strategies, including amend-and-extend approaches and modification structures
  • Availability of replacement capital across banks, debt funds, life companies, and securitization markets, including CMBS market activity
