Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is expanding the city’s office-to-residential conversion program, offering tax incentives for developers. The move is designed to activate underutilized office buildings and address the city’s growing housing demand. Though challenges like high construction costs remain, the policy shift is expected to boost interest in adaptive reuse projects. At The Peebles Corporation, we recognize the transformative potential of adaptive reuse projects like these. Our commitment to innovative real estate solutions aligns with initiatives that repurpose existing structures to meet evolving urban needs, fostering vibrant, inclusive communities. #PeeblesCorporation #CRE #HousingSolutions #BostonRealEstate #WorkforceHousing

The Federal Reserve’s latest projections signal a dramatic shift in the economic outlook, with tariffs driving inflation higher while slowing growth and investment. Concerns over stagnant growth, rising unemployment, and persistent inflation have put the Fed in a wait-and-see mode, delaying rate cuts despite market pressures. As part of CNBC’s Mock Fed Committee yesterday, our Chairman and CEO, Don Peebles, strongly advocated for a 50 basis point rate cut—emphasizing the urgency of stabilizing markets and counteracting economic declines triggered by recent policy decisions. With the Fed holding off on immediate action, the future of commercial real estate and investment remains in flux. #FederalReserve #InterestRates #CRE #PeeblesCorporation

The U.S. housing market is evolving, with Hispanic and Black homeownership rates rising over the past decade. Despite these gains, affordability challenges and mortgage barriers persist, particularly for minority households. Many still spend over 30% of their income on rent, and mortgage denial rates remain disproportionately high. As economic conditions shift—with potential rate cuts and wage growth—access to homeownership could expand, but structural challenges remain. At The Peebles Corporation, we recognize that expanding access to homeownership is critical for generational wealth-building, and we remain committed to developing opportunities that increase affordability and equity in housing. #HousingEquity #Homeownership #CRE #PeeblesCorporation

The U.S. housing market remains tough as home prices stay high and mortgage rates hover around 7%, making affordability a challenge—especially for buyers in the low-to-mid price range. While price growth is slowing in some areas due to rising inventory and reduced demand, experts predict that high costs will continue through 2025, keeping many would-be homeowners on the sidelines. At The Peebles Corporation, we recognize the urgent need for more housing solutions and continue to focus on expanding access through public-private partnerships that bring new, attainable residential options to key markets.

Washington, D.C., is taking another step toward revitalizing its downtown with new tax relief for office-to-residential conversions. The D.C. Council unanimously approved legislation reducing tax rates for conversion projects by 50%, allowing buildings to be classified as residential at the point of permit issuance instead of waiting until completion. This move is expected to accelerate much-needed housing development and address high office vacancy rates. At The Peebles Corporation, we have long championed adaptive reuse and mixed-use development in key urban markets. These types of public-private initiatives help unlock new opportunities for housing, economic development, and community transformation in cities across the country. #PeeblesCorporation #CRE #UrbanDevelopment #HousingSolutions #AdaptiveReuse

The U.S. housing market is experiencing significant regional variations. In states like Texas and Florida, housing inventories have surpassed pre-pandemic levels, largely due to increased new construction. Conversely, the Northeast and Midwest face severe inventory shortages, with some states' inventories still below half of their pre-pandemic levels. This imbalance has led to a two-speed housing market: prices may decline in oversupplied areas, while undersupplied regions could see stable or rising prices. At The Peebles Corporation, we remain focused on business-friendly communities that foster public-private partnerships to create transformative developments that address these housing market imbalances. By collaborating with cities to deliver mixed-income housing, commercial spaces, and economic opportunities, we help drive sustainable growth in key metropolitan areas. #PeeblesCorporation #HousingMarket #RealEstate #WallStreetJournal
