2019 Year in Review: Jake Blatter, KFIR Capital

Name: Jake Blatter

Company: KFIR Capital

What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2020?
Transactionally I believe the commercial real estate market will remain stagnant. The ink is barely dry on the new rent regulations and there is a follow-up bill (universal rent control) that will even further drive out investor capital away from New York. Retail continues to struggle. As with all disruptions, I believe this will lead to opportunities with regards to multi-family and we will see an uptick in transactions from last year. On the flip side, I don’t anticipate a disruption in the capital markets; and office, industrial and development in the five boroughs remains strong both on the supply and demand side.

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
