Despite geopolitical uncertainty and trade tensions, the US economy remains strong, says our latest guest on the AFIRE podcast: Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi, the recipient of the Consensus Economics 2024 Forecast Accuracy Award. “So far, the data shows yellow flares everywhere,” Zandi observes. “But no red flares yet.” In conversation with AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson, Zandi shares his views on the way trade tensions will affect the broader economy, as well as US commercial real estate specifically. The pair also discuss a forthcoming Moody's study on the housing shortage, hotspots in the US CRE market and how ESG and DEI discussions are evolving under the new administration. The conversation concludes with Zandi worrying that the dissolution of Fed independence could set the stage for much higher inflation. “I do think the economy is resilient,” Zandi says. “We should be able to navigate through and, you know, we could be in a very different place a year or two down the road.” Access the episode webpage featuring links to audio-only platforms here: https://www.afire.org/podcast/202511cast/
The US needs nearly 4 million homes. That's a deficit that's been decades in the making. Years' worth of zoning restriction pile-ups, underbuilding, and policy interference have hindered the ability to plan, build, and maintain affordable homes across America. “We're putting requirements in place before we have the foundational infrastructure in place to provide it,” says CEO of Up for Growth Mike Kingsella during the latest episode of the AFIRE podcast. At the same time, the country's energy infrastructure is straining to keep pace, not only with the increased demand in data centers to fuel AI, but also to supply energy at home. So to solve the affordability and energy problem, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson and Kingsella discuss how to untangle the legacy decisions that got the U.S. where it is in housing, and how to prevent the same pattern in energy.

The next five years are expected to bring groundbreaking tech advancements in augmented (AR) and virtual (VR) reality. Real estate—a traditionally unhurried adopter of new tech—isn't immune to this shift, and while this could bring about new revenue streams for property owners, it also creates potential liabilities. Are real estate owners prepared? To learn the answer, we consulted with Neil Mandt. In addition to being a speaker at the AFIRE Winter Conference, Mandt is a five-time Emmy winner and the founder & CEO of Digital Rights Management, a tech platform offering property owners risk analysis and licensing opportunities from digital media companies. Mandt warns real estate owners to start thinking about securing the digital rights of their property. "Buildings are not the only real estate in the world," Mandt says on this episode of the AFIRE podcast, signalling the approach of a new age for property owners as augmented and virtual reality applications become more prevalent through society. AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson sat down with Neil Mandt to discuss digital media rights licensing and what that could mean for real estate owners and investors.
In 2024 commercial real estate investors were confronted with tremendous changes. What's the biggest change that will surprise us in 2025—and how should the investment community adjust to those changes? That's just one of the topics we tackle in the latest episode of our podcast series talking with commercial real estate experts about the year ahead. Jim Costello is the Chief Economist for MSCI Real Assets—and someone who always has a measured and data-driven forecast of what's going to happen in the US real estate market, especially as it pertains to cross-border investment. “If people are not taking a dispassionate point of view…and taking a full look at the range of potential changes, they're going to be shocked and surprised,” explains Costello. How will the new administration's policies affect trade? Tariffs? Tax policies? Will they decrease regulatory burdens? And how will that affect inflation? “Those are real concerns,” says Costello. “But any policy change can cut two ways… there are other things that other types of investors are excited about”—and both Branson and Costello describe them in detail in this special mini-episode of the AFIRE podcast. Other themes: What are the surprising bets Jim Costello would make in 2025? Why office could surprise us in the year ahead How will migration patterns change in the US in 2025?
Our special New Year series provides themes to monitor in the year ahead for commercial real estate investors. This episode of the AFIRE Podcast features R. Byron Carlock Jr., PWC's former US real estate leader and AFIRE's current director of legal and tax, discussing the most important investment to make in 2025. AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson asks Carlock: You can make one bet in 2025—what is that investment you'll make this year? What is it that commercial real estate investors need to worry about in 2025? Will 2025 be the year that regulators grow more comfortable with density in our cities? How should investors be thinking about the next five to ten years? Who will be the leaders in real estate investing over the next 10 years? What do you hope will happen for our built environments in 2025? As we look out at the year ahead—should we expect more surprises from the capital markets? What about politics? Geopolitics? Will we see more friction for cross-border investing—or less? Watch the video or listen to the audio episode for answers.
What are the markets that commercial real estate investors are focused on in 2025? Will markets even matter this year? And which markets are best positioned to outperform? Sabrina Unger is the managing director and the head of research and strategy at American Realty Advisors—and one of the people AFIRE turns to for nuanced commentary on what's really going on in commercial real estate. “Market selection as a driver of relative over- or under-performance may actually be reduced relative to some of the other levers that we have to pull when it comes to making geographic selection within a sector,” says Unger. “When we look back over history . . . the dispersion between the best and worst multifamily markets—that dispersion is the widest during periods of adjustment.” So, Unger says, dispersions were widest during the 2008 global financial crisis, the supply surge in 2016 and during the pandemic. “But outside these periods, market fundamentals… tend to cluster much closer together.” Consequently, the market narrative may actually be disguising really strong sub-market opportunities. Which is why her team has implemented a new sub-market targeting strategy. Or, in her words, “There's a way to take advantage of that arbitrage.”

In celebration of this holiday, I re-released one of my favorite episodes of last year: my conversation with Jake Fallon & Nick Craven. Their film, CRYING ON COMMAND, is hitting the festival circuit over the next few months. I had a blast re-listening to this episode. Enjoy.In this episode, we talk about...how the duo got involved in filmmaking;whether you can start out just making films or if you can start high-minded;the reasons behind the success of their Seed & Spark campaign(s) for CRYING ON COMMAND;the watershed (see what I did there) short v. feature debate;Brett Kavanaugh (you have to listen);the run time of Martin Scorsese' latest film (again...makes sense after you hear);the importance of improv in indie film;and the depths of their new film, which packs a lot into nine minutes.As you can see (or hear) from their indie film highlights, these two are ingrained into the independent film community and spend a good part of the episode supporting other peoples' projects. These are the kind of people I want to find for the show.Jake's Indie Film Highlight: Cameron Gallagher, director; Armon Mahdavi, director, MOSS BEACH; Liza Renzulli ; Alexander Spenser Gould; Greg Case; Lee SchatzmanNick's Indie Film Highlight: Dillon Schohr; Taylor Silk; Ricardo Burgos; Christian Petzold's AFIRE; Annie Baker; Eliza Hittman; Trey Edward Shults, dir.

In this episode of Medmastery's Cardiology Digest, we dive into three groundbreaking studies that are set to reshape our understanding and approach to cardiology. STUDY #1: First, we discuss a landmark piece of research that sheds new light on the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with significant coronary artery disease who need a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This study addresses important questions about patient selection for this intervention. Lønborg, J, Jabbari, R, Sabbah, M, et al. 2024. PCI in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic-valve implantation. N Engl J Med. Published online. (https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2401513) STUDY #2: Next, we examine an insightful meta-analysis that evaluates patient-level data to inform the future of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention. Discover the factors influencing the transition to ticagrelor monotherapy post-PCI and why this could change current guideline recommendations. Valgimigli, M, Hong, S, Gragnano, F, et al. 2024. De-escalation to ticagrelor monotherapy versus 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with and without acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and individual patient-level meta-analysis of randomized trials. Lancet. 10456: 937–948. (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(24)01616-7) STUDY #3: Lastly, we take a closer look at the EPIC-CAD study, which aligns with previous findings from the AFIRE trial. Learn why anticoagulant monotherapy is now being considered for the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation who require anticoagulation and have stable coronary artery disease, and what this means for your clinical practice.

How can affordable housing become a reality in cities like New York, whose current blueprint and zoning regulation is not easily suited to modern market-rate and affordable housing development? https://www.afire.org/podcast/202411cast/ In our latest episode of the AFIRE podcast, CEO and host Gunnar Branson speaks with David Kramer, president of the Hudson Companies, a leading developer in NYC, about what it takes to build affordable housing in a city made for anything but. It's a wide-ranging, entertaining conversation about the challenges of living and developing real estate in one of the most vibrant cities in the world—and America's key “gateway” city. Kramer and Branson explore the tension between developer's public profiles, and the realities of trying to build new projects in a sustainable way, while also nurturing a city that is hospitable to people from all walks of life. Kramer also takes down the common misconception that landlords determine rents. In fact, Kramer says that achieving housing affordability starts with increasing the number of units in a given market. “The solution . . . should not be chastising landlords and trying to limit rent increases—it should be increasing the supply.” With decades-worth of insider perspective and a whole host of entertaining analogies, Kramer's interview provides a portrait of a New York developer doing his best to contribute to a city where people love to be—and what other cities can learn from this approach.
Mosaic Real Estate Investors CEO Ethan Penner, the latest guest on the AFIRE Podcast, doesn't believe the office sector has hit bottom. https://www.afire.org/podcast/202407cast/ Yet, at the beginning of 2024, Penner and his business partner Chad Carpenter announced a new US office-focused real estate finance company, Reven Office REIT, that intended to raise $1 billion to provide office owners and investors with bespoke financing solutions. “Office is a very complicated investment asset today,” Penner says. “It's something that has inspired fear in investors, and rightly so. But what's interesting is that when fear becomes pervasive, markets are abandoned. And of course, babies are thrown out with bathwater.” Penner and his partners are trying to find those “babies”—the office investments that continue to have upside, despite ongoing challenges for the sector. In this episode of the AFIRE podcast, Penner explains his sometimes counterintuitive take on the health of the office sector with podcast host and AFIRE CEO, Gunnar Branson. Aside from his enthusiasm for finding overlooked gems in the sector, Penner holds concerns about the effect of AI on the future of office. “The [threat] that looms largest, that's on the horizon, that people are in denial about,” Penner says, “is the impact of AI on jobs, period. I think that there's a real threat— technology happens faster than people can imagine.”

Technology can be enormously disruptive to commercial real estate. Remote work is responsible for the global devaluation of office properties. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing the way we live and work. So what will be the effect of AI on institutional investment strategies? https://www.afire.org/podcast/202402cast/ To get at some answers, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson talked to one of his favorite futurist investors, Jeffrey Kanne, president and CEO of National Real Estate Advisors, an AFIRE member firm and investment manager specializing in a build-to-core strategy, developing and managing large-scale, urban commercial and multifamily projects for its institutional client accounts. “The advent of AI as a technological tool is going to greatly increase the rate of change,” Kanne tells Branson. “I'm very nervous about where you can place money and think it's safe.” The best opportunity for investment, Kanne believes, is in data centers that provide consistent power and temperature-controlled environments for the Googles, OpenAIs and Microsofts of the world. With that in mind, Kanne and Branson discuss how investors can enter the data center market. “It's not rocket science,” Kanne says, while outlining potential pitfalls and barriers to entry for new operators. “It's incumbent on all of us as investors to think about what the world will be like in five years, ten years, fifteen years,” Kanne says. “When I look ahead, data centers are a good place to focus on.”
Fire is a form all of its own, but a simple way to understand fire is as a swarm. A swarm of bees. Or starlings. Or mosquitos. A spreading fire is a swarm of ignitions, a series of small fires over and over. Season 4 of Forestcast is a series of fires, a series of voices. It's a 360-degree view of fire from a scientific standpoint. The story of how fire research shapes our landscapes, and our lives. Through kaleidoscoping voices from across the country, listeners will be taken inside the largest forest research organization in the world to hear from seventeen scientists on what they know, and don't know, about one of the most complex elements in nature—fire. In episode one, hear from research mechanical engineer, Sara McAllister, on the process of ignition; spatial fire analyst, Greg Dillon, on the timeline of fire management and research in the Forest Service; and research forester, Dan Dey, on the history of fire: where it was, where it's been, and what can be done knowing its history?

On the tail end of the hottest year on human record, it's clear that climate change is already here—and not slowing down. In the years ahead, the effects of climate change will pose real hardships for billions of people around the world. The challenge of climate change is clear, especially for real estate, as explained in the first of this special two-part series. Now, in this second and final entry of the latest AFIRE Podcast—inspired by the special climate change section featured in the most recent issue of AFIRE's award-winning Summit Journal, and sponsored by the global ESG consultancy, AccountAbility—AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson and Summit Journal Editor-in-Chief Benjamin van Loon propose that climate change can also represent opportunity for forward-thinking investors. Climate migration will require new housing in resilient geographies, creating demand for fast and efficient construction methods. Extreme weather and other disasters will highlight the need for more robust building techniques. And an historically hotter world also could usher in carbon markets that use Web 3.0 to better reflect the actual cost of assets that contribute to global warming. (Watch the video version of this episode on the AFIRE YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Hxizapwf0&ab_channel=AFIRE) Featuring interviews with: Jacques Gordon, Executive in Residence, MIT Center for Real Estate Bob Geiger, Executive Director, Partner Engineering & Science Parag Khanna, Founder and CEO, Climate Alpha Zhengzhen Tan, Research Scientist, MIT Center for Real Estate

On paper, Afire seems like it is an alegory for climate change. It is actually a movie about Corbin irritating himself to death. Whoops! Next week's movie, part of a VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS PNWICMFP is MEET JOHN DOE, by Frank Capra. You can watch it here, on Criterion, or here, on the Internet Archive, because a long time ago someone forgot to renew the copyright. Did anyone see the new Miyazaki movie, aside from me? My man is operating heavy in an allegorical space right now. Also the use of blues and greens... very cool. No one uses color better in the history of the medium, you ask me.
The year 2023 has been the hottest year in recent record—and it will likely be the coldest year for the rest of our lives. In the face of these record-breaking numbers and climate events, 2023 also proved to be a year that real estate investors lead the charge in confronting the constantly evolving challenges of climate change—including insurance rate hikes, migration and population changes, and the irrational implications derived from “the tragedy of the horizon.” In this, the first of a special two-part episode—inspired by the special climate change section featured in the most recent issue of AFIRE's award-winning Summit Journal, and sponsored by the global ESG consultancy, AccountAbility—AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson and Summit Journal Editor-in-Chief Benjamin van Loon take viewers and listeners through a conversation with the industry's top thought leaders to explore how investors can prepare for the impending intersection of climate change, global investment, and the future of real estate.

Musician Owen Ashworth (Advance Base) joins our ongoing "Alone for the Holidays" series with a discussion of JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES starring Delphine Seyrig. At the age of 25, Chantal Akerman wrote and directed this slow-burning Belgian drama depicting the daily chores of a widowed mother in exacting detail. Through a series of static long takes, we become accustomed to Jeanne Dielman's well-worn pattern of cooking, cleaning, caretaking, and sex work- until the pattern breaks down and her behavior grows increasingly erratic. When first screened at Cannes in 1975, JEANNE DIELMAN was met with a mixed reception, but subsequent re-evaluation deemed it a masterpiece of slow cinema. In the 2022 Sight and Sound poll, JEANNE DIELMAN was voted to be the greatest film of all time by critics, and is but one film of many in Akerman's body of work to grow in esteem since her 2015 death. Join us as we try to figure out the deal with DIELMAN, taking a few diversions into Aki Kaurismäki, Cold Mountain, Playtime, Afire, famous filming locations, housecleaning, and much, much more! Check out Owen's music with Advance Base: https://advancebasemusic.com/ Check out Owen's drawings: https://www.instagram.com/ownashworth JEANNE DIELMAN can currently be streamed with subscription to The Criterion Channel or Max.

Director Christian Petzold discusses his new film, Afire, with fellow Director Michael Almereyda in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, Petzold discusses the autobiographical elements of the film, the meaning and thought process behind the encroaching fire, and its dystopian as well as its pandemic influences. The film tells the story of a group of young friends who vacation in a house by the Baltic Sea as an encroaching forest fire threatens the group. As the days grow hotter and the fire nears, both temperature and tensions rise, allowing emotions of happiness, lust and love to give way to jealousies, resentments and tensions among the group. See photos and a summary of this event below: https://dga.org/Events/2023/August2023/GCS_Afire_0723.aspx
