A momentous year lies ahead. An uncertain presidential election, international trade wars, the culmination of Brexit, fears of a global recession, and a new low-interest rate regime hang over a commercial real estate industry that’s now a decade deep into a growth cycle.

Major trends are having impacts as well. And these issues are addressed in our fourth annual Market Trends and Outlook special supplement.

Nearly 50 firms have contributed pieces covering every major property sector and most of the alternatives. Articles cover leasing, investment and financing trends. Some also grapple with the macro issues overhanging the industry and how they will affect activity in the year ahead.

What the pieces in this special supplement have in common is they come from some of the best companies and best minds in the business.
