S&P Global Market Intelligence Report Finds Commercial Real Estate Lenders Feeling Stress but Weathering the Storm

Published

on

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Changes in post-pandemic behavior and a larger debt service due to higher interest rates presents challenges to the viability of many commercial real estate borrowers. While those headwinds will lead to higher defaults, stress will differ across asset classes and could take longer to play out than many think. The newly published report, Commercial Real Estate Outlook: Weathering the Storm, is part of S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Big Picture 2025 Outlook Report Series.  

In this new report, S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Financial Institutions Research Team discusses how insurers, banks and their regulators are responding to concerns over potential stress in the commercial real estate (CRE) market. The report includes details on recent investment activity from life insurers in the CRE market and expectations for future loss content banks will record from the CRE segment. The report also highlights how publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) can offer some insight into market conditions since they trade daily.

“Commercial real estate borrowers’ mettle will be tested over the coming year as they seek to refinance loans coming due. Many borrowers will find credit less available or at least significantly more expensive, leading to more defaults, particularly in the office segment, but not all CRE loans face the same fate,” said Nathan Stovall, director of financial institutions research at S&P Global Market Intelligence. “Any pain should not be great enough to spur deleveraging in the financial system and threaten the US economy.”

Key highlights from the report include:

Banks with elevated CRE exposures have faced scrutiny from regulators and investors. Banks will feel some pain in their CRE books, particularly as borrowers seeking to refinance maturing credits find it more difficult to access credit, or they will at least face a significantly higher debt service given the increase in interest rates.S&P Global Market Intelligence’s analysis of property records nationwide found that approximately $950 billion of CRE mortgages were set to mature in 2024 and carried rates nearly 200 basis points below those originated this year.Office REITs continue to trade at vast discounts to their estimated net asset value estimates, but valuations have improved from the low point in 2023. Despite asset quality concerns, life insurers holdings of mortgage loans have continued to reach record highs in 2024.

Caldwell Cassady & Curry Trio Named Among Best Lawyers in Dallas for Intellectual Property, Business Disputes

Published

By

DALLAS, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Accomplished trial attorneys Brad Caldwell, Jason Cassady, and Daniel Pearson from the Dallas intellectual property and business law firm Caldwell Cassady & Curry have earned spots on the 2026 list of The Best Lawyers in Dallas published by D Magazine.

The Caldwell Cassady & Curry principals earned spots in the guide following the firm’s two multimillion-dollar trial wins in 2025 that were among the largest in Texas and nationally.

Last fall, an eight-member jury in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas awarded the firm’s clients at Collision Communications a $445.5 million verdict against Samsung for infringing a series of patents covering mobile network communications.

Mr. Caldwell served as lead counsel in the trial that ended with the year’s third-largest jury award in Texas, the sixth-largest overall in the U.S., and the second-largest among all U.S. patent infringement cases tried to verdict.

The result was recognized as an Impact Case of the Year at the recent Managing IP Awards in New York, along with Caldwell Cassady & Curry as the Patent Disputes Firm of the Year (South) and Mr. Caldwell as Patent Litigator of the Year (South) for his work in the Samsung case and the firm’s other significant trial win against social media powerhouse Twitter.

A jury of five women and three men in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas found the company known as X Corp. liable for infringing a key patent covering online video technology. The Dallas trial court entered a judgment of nearly $173 million against Twitter in November.

The D Magazine Best Lawyers in Dallas rankings are based on peer nominations from thousands of licensed North Texas attorneys who recommend colleagues they have personally observed in court. An anonymous panel of esteemed local lawyers and the magazine’s editorial staff conducts a final background check before announcing the honorees.

Caldwell Cassady & Curry represents companies and individuals in high-stakes civil litigation, including patent infringement, trade secrets, fiduciary duty, class action, and company-founder disputes. The firm has tried and won some of the nation’s top verdicts against the largest companies in the world. Learn more about the firm at www.caldwellcc.com.
