Active Private Equity Real Estate Strategy

The subprime fallout and credit crisis have triggered a major transition in U.S. real estate. With tightened lending and underwriting standards, speculative investments and construction projects are likely to be limited, resulting in constrained supply and healthier fundamentals over the long term. Looking forward, market participants anticipate that the coming years will be fraught with challenges as well as opportunities.
