Vulnerable lenders are being squeezed on all sides as a debt-laden real estate sector succumbs to hybrid working

America’s commercial property collapse is becoming a danger to the financial system.

Office blocks purchased with debt remain half empty, 18 months after the end of the pandemic. Thousands of buildings will have to be torn down. Hundreds of regional banks are sitting on crippling losses that they yet to acknowledge.

“It’s a trainwreck in slow motion,” said Professor Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, a property and finance expert at Columbia University.

“The return to the office isn’t happening. Data from turnstile swipes shows that occupancy levels are still just 49pc of where they used to be. It has been stable for a year and a half,” he said. Sensors tracking physical presence in offices tell the same story. Hybrid work is here to stay.

Lenders are still gambling on resurrection, a reflex of ‘extend and pretend’ in the hope that office rents will recover and that struggling borrowers will be able to service their debts again. “Banks would do better to bite the bullet now because losses are going to be much worse in two years,” Prof Van Nieuwerburgh said.

His team calculates that America’s office stock has lost 40pc to 45pc of its pre-Covid value, or will have once market discovery exposes the damage already in the pipeline from two parallel shocks: shrinking rents and the most aggressive monetary tightening of modern times.

“We are starting to see distressed sales every day. Offices are selling for 50pc, 60pc or 70pc discounts. At these values the equity holders are wiped out, and lenders take a 30pc loss,” he said.

Renters are walking away or taking less space as leases come due. Average office rents have already dropped by 20pc. Yet two-thirds of the leases have not yet come up for renegotiation. The full exodus has yet to happen.

“We’re in the early innings. That’s the reality,” said Scott Rechler, head of real estate specialists RXR and a board member of the New York Fed............more........

 things aren't always what they seem especially when empire is involved;


It’s the same old story every time. Our overlords create and fund those they want us to believe are enemies that must be stopped. The U.S. funded and supported Sadaam Hussein when he was fighting our enemy Iran, who was our enemy because we overthrew their president in the 1950’s and installed the Shah as dictator. When he stopped playing ball with our Deep State, they “saved” Kuwait over a border dispute and falsely claimed he was involved in 9/11 and had WMDs, so they could kill him and steal Iraq’s oil.

We created and funded Bin Laden when he was fighting our eternal enemy Russia in Afghanistan. Then we blamed him for 9/11 and waged war for over a decade against him and the Taliban. Libya was the most prosperous country in Africa, but Ghaddafi didn’t toe the line with our Deep State, so he became our new enemy and was swiftly dispatched, leaving Libya a lawless hellhole.

The CIA/Deep State overthrew a democratically elected leader of Ukraine because he was friendly with our eternal enemy Russia, creating the conflict today which is bankrupting our country and killing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

Now we know Israel created and funded Hamas, the “horrible” terrorist organization they allowed to attack their country with no resistance, even though they knew it was about to happen. Our globalist overlords always need enemies to create, so they can sustain the military industrial complex and keep the people distracted and angry at other enemies, rather than their true enemies – their corrupt psychopathic leaders.

This is all a show, and you are an unwilling audience member, until you become their cannon fodder. Are you not entertained?..........more.........

 seven minutes of a joo speaking the truth about palestine;

watch......

 

"If you want the victims of gun crime to be able to sue the gun makers for damages, then let us also allow the victims of drunk driving accidents to sue the car makers and distilleries as well. While we are at it, revoke the special protection granted to vaccine makers that was passed as part of the Homeland Security Act so that people who are actually harmed by poorly made vaccines can sue the pharmaceutical companies. And, given that at least 90% of these mass shootings were committed by people either on or withdrawing from prescription anti-depressants, the victims of those shootings should be allowed to sue the pharmaceutical companies as well. Let's sue the makers of kitchen cutlery for every stabbing death. Let's sue the makers of sporting equipment for every victim beaten to death with a baseball bat, and tool companies for making the hammers used on bludgeoning deaths as well. The family of everyone who dies by electrocution should be allowed to sue the electric company. The family of everyone who dies in a fall should be allowed to sue the makers of ladders and staircases. The family of everyone who commits suicide by hanging should be allowed to sue the rope companies. " -- Michael Rivero
