Ferry On Nuveen’s Real Estate Market Outlook


Lauren Ferry, Head of Portfolio Strategy and Solutions at Nuveen, Donald Hall Head of Research for the Americas and Nikita Rao Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, Housing, Americas, Nuveen Real Estate provide a real estate market update and discuss allocation strategies for navigating today’s challenging environment.  

Historically, an allocation to real estate has delivered protection against inflation, diversification benefits, and steady income. Over the last two decades, the private real estate sector has produced more consistent returns than the U.S. equity markets, demonstrating the potential of private strategies to reduce overall portfolio volatility. 

From a macro perspective, tight vacancies in most major markets across industrial, apartment, and retail sectors reflect a healthy U.S. real estate market. Although real estate prices have risen in substantially in the last few years, a record level of dry powder, a recovering office sector, and increased demand in industries like healthcare and biotech present strong future opportunities for investors.
