The State of CRE Capital Markets

The Jewish Commercial Real Estate Network (JCREN) brings together Atlanta’s leading real estate professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen the future of Jewish Atlanta. This exclusive gathering—one of only two each year—offers a unique opportunity to engage with peers, expand relationships, and hear directly from some of the industry’s most influential voices.

At this event, we will host a panel discussion on “The Current State of CRE Capital Markets,” featuring senior leaders from Cousins Properties, The Ardent Companies, and Ares Management. Together, they will share insights from across the capital stack—public REIT equity, opportunistic investment platforms, and institutional real estate credit—to explore how capital is moving in today’s market, where opportunities are emerging, and how investors are navigating the evolving landscape of commercial real estate.
