• Industrial developers will target large office campuses as new sources of industrial development opportunities.
• Hotels will capture record sales prices in 2022.
• The omicron variant, and others that may follow, will prompt employers to delay return-to-office plans and maintain flexibility with employees.
• The infrastructure bill will not have a meaningful impact on the CRE industry in 2022.
• The passing of social spending bills, like Build Back Better, may pose headwinds to CRE demand.
• Rising inflation will compound rising construction costs, resulting in a slowdown or cancellation of some developments.
