Raising Real Estate Capital: Debt and Equity

The problems of the U.S. real estate capital markets during the past year have captured national and international headlines, frozen traditional debt distribution channels, seriously impacted banks and other financial institutions, and contributed to the bear stock market.

• How and when will the U.S. real estate capital markets recover?
• Will the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market be permanently changed?
• How do real estate lenders and borrowers deal with the severe short-term impact and plan for the long-term recovery?

These and other pressing issues in the regional, national, and international real estate markets will be discussed in a 90-minute interactive, fast-moving seminar chaired by Foley Real Estate Partner Stephen I. Burr, who has focused his practices on complex real estate transactions and capital structures on all types of real estate. Panelists are expected to include:

• George Fantini, Chairman, Fantini and Gorga
• Paul Griesmer, Principal, Transaction Real Estate, Ernst & Young LLP
• John A. Wolff, Senior Vice President, Bank of America
• Kim Diamond, Managing Director, Standard & Poor's
• Ron Lubin, Managing Director, Crystal Capital
• Thomas W. Stevens, Principal, CrossHarbor Capital Partners
• Ed Chazen, Senior Vice President, Urdang Capital Partners
