At Markets Group’s 9th Annual Real Estate Canada Forum in Toronto, John Creswell, Global Head of Capital Raising at Trez Capital, joined a panel exploring where the most compelling opportunities in real estate debt are emerging. The conversation addressed which markets and asset classes are presenting the strongest opportunities, from Alberta’s affordability and industrial growth to the strength of U.S. retail, manufactured housing and select Midwest and Northeast markets. Looking ahead, the conversation underscored why real estate debt remains well-positioned to deliver attractive relative value over the next 24 months, supported by stabilizing costs, disciplined lending structures and ongoing demand for multi-family and industrial product. #RealEstateDebt #PrivateMarkets #Investing #ConstructionLending #Lotdevelopment
