CARLSBAD, CALIF. — The office investment market is back on track and buoyed by significant sources of capital for deal making, following some political and economic uncertainty over the past year, according to the June 2019 Office Investor Sentiment Report by Real Capital Markets (RCM).

Overall, investors are looking more closely at the investment value of coworking space, given its rapid expansion and potential exposure to any market downturn. The report also notes that investors remain confident in the office market in general, especially given economic conditions and population growth. “Conventional wisdom and years of experience tell us that we may be long in the [economic] cycle,” says Tina Lichens, COO of Carlsbad, Calif.-based RCM. “At the same time, there is a broad sense of optimism, albeit somewhat cautious, that with the level of capital poised for investment, there are still allocations to be met and transactions to be completed.” Coworking risks, opportunities Coworking space has led all …
