Key Points

- The office sector is particularly vulnerable due to high vacancy rates and declining property valuations, prompting distressed asset sales and reduced institutional lending.
- Strategic investors and private credit products are stepping in to fill the financing gap, offering alternative debt products backed by resilient sectors like healthcare real estate.
