With a new administration in place, what’s next for CRE performance metrics and fundamentals? What should we expect for 2021 given updated economic forecasts? How would these translate into CRE performance metrics, given observed historical lags (and can we even use historical data given how different this downturn has been)?
Additionally, panelists will discuss:
- Economic forecasts and an updated view on potential distress in pricing
- What is the experience like for CRE leasing? What are tenants going through, what kind of lease contracts and renewals are being signed, and how does demand for CRE appear to be changing?
- Updates on the debt markets: defaults, losses, and which sectors and subsectors appear to be relatively resilient (yes, even within retail)

Allen Benson, Catylist's Chief Information Officer has more than 25 years’ experience in cutting-edge real estate technology. Starting out as CTO of Windermere Real Estate, the largest regional franchised real estate company on the West Coast, Benson took the company online and was the first in the country to put the entire MLS online for the public to search. In 1997, Allen founded eProperty Data with the goal of bringing the commercial real estate industry technology up to the level of the residential industry. Once the technology was introduced and adopted by the commercial practitioners, the next step was to provide a fully researched solution to the industry. After bringing multiple markets online, eProperty Data was purchased by the National Association of Realtors® in 2007. Allen went back to the grassroots and worked hand-in-hand with commercial brokers to find the void in the industry. In 2016, Allen joined up with Catylist to once again help advance the commercial industry through the use of technology.
