Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic that began in 2020 has continued to have a profound impact on the commercial real estate industry, including REITs and real estate private equity. In general, companies with assets that service the digital economy – cell towers, logistics and industrial properties, and data centres – benefited from the pandemic’s acceleration of the digital economy. Conversely, several traditional sectors continue to confront difficult issues involving liquidity, rent collection, dividend payouts, disclosure and guidance, as well as navigating the uncertain and sometimes shifting guidance from regulatory authorities regarding the timeline of reopening. However, with the introduction and distribution of vaccines in the United States, a robust, if uneven, recovery has begun to take hold within the commercial real estate industry. As always, strategic planning and risk management have been, and still will be, critical in order to adjust to changing times, to adapt to the resulting acceleration of technological change in the real estate industry and beyond. Only time will tell with respect to how soon and to what extent people will return to their offices and resume traditional offline shopping and travel, and which of the many other changes in real estate usage will become permanent or semi-permanent.
