Rising CRE Activity Calls for a Coordinated Capital and Ownership Plan

By Don McClain

JLL’s October 28 results cite research showing third-quarter 2026 investment-sales activity up 11% in the U.S. and 9% globally year over year. More transactions do not settle an individual sponsor’s valuation or financing needs. Medro Advisors recommends aligning the purchase basis, equity contribution, operating-business liquidity and ownership objectives before approaching capital. Compare debt and equity options against one supported cash-flow case, including reserves and exit assumptions. Sponsors and business owners can begin an advisory discussion with a current transaction summary and documented funding requirement. Capital remains transaction-specific and subject to underwriting and terms.
