As rates have risen from their record lows, banks have in general profited from rising net interest…

The root of the problem is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused commercial real estate holdings to fall in value due to the shift to remote work, while coronavirus-induced inflation and the resulting rise in interest rates are also putting stress on banks' holdings. With data through the fourth quarter of 2023, FAU reported on the potential for commercial real estate to be a liability for the nation's largest banks in…

With roughly 40% of carbon emissions coming from buildings, no industry is more under pressure to make this commitment than the real estate industry. Since the 2015 Paris Agreement set a goal of achieving net-zero global carbon emissions by 2050, decarbonization goals and efforts have accelerated around the world.
