KBRA releases its Day 2 recap of the CRE Finance Council (CREFC) January Conference 2024. Day 2 of the conference opened with the Servicers and Special Situations Forum, with discussion of topics such as valuation uncertainty, special servicing advances, and reviews of distressed assets. This was followed by additional panels that included three more forums: alternative lenders and high-yield investors, B-piece buyers, and investment-grade bondholders.

The day’s luncheon included welcoming remarks from Lisa Pendergast, Executive Director of CREFC, who gave a brief history of CREFC in honor of the organization’s 30th anniversary. In addition, there was a legislative and regulatory update as well as a stimulating keynote conversation with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and CREFC Chair Harris Trifon of Lord Abbett and Co.
