In the FTI Experts’ Hub podcast hosted by Commercial Property Executive, Executive Editor Laura Valean speaks with Ingrid Rivera Noone and Jahn Brodwin, senior managing directors and Co-Leaders of FTI Consulting’s Real Estate Solutions practice, about how rescue capital is helping commercial real estate owners navigate today’s refinancing challenges. As debt maturities collide with higher interest rates and lower property valuations, many borrowers are facing capital shortfalls that traditional financing alone cannot address.
The discussion explores when rescue capital makes sense, which assets are best positioned to attract it and how it can be used to bridge refinancing gaps, support lease-ups and fund repositioning strategies. The experts also examine the perspectives of owners, lenders and capital providers, highlighting the trade-offs, risks and incentives that shape these transactions. The episode underscores the importance of proactive planning, noting that owners who address liquidity challenges early are often better positioned to preserve value, maintain flexibility and achieve stronger outcomes in an increasingly complex commercial real estate market.
