Commercial Real Estate Videos of the Week

Commercial Real Estate Videos for the Week of May 16-22.

Larry Silverstein, developer of the World Trade Center, believes that the Commercial Real Estate market is much healthier than it was a year ago, especially in New York. He also claims that occupancy will not be a problem in the under-construction “World Trade Center 2.0.”

While the title of the video is sort of misleading, Phillip Blumberg offers his opinion about what caused the financial crisis. He claims that there was too much debt at peak pricing, and many derivatives that were being created were designed to make debt more liquid. It is his opinion that these two things caused the financial crisis. He makes an interesting point in saying that every real estate crisis has taken place in conjunction with a financial crisis.
