REALM CEO Travis King on why office real estate’s next cycle looks strong
by Andrea Zander
Momentum is returning to the U.S. office market as major cities like New York; San Francisco; and Washington, D.C., show improving fundamentals and renewed investor confidence. Office building sales climbed nearly 21 percent last year — reaching $64.3 billion, according to MSCI Real Assets — signaling a shift in sentiment as tenants gravitate toward high-quality, well-located space and central business districts regain their footing. For REALM, a direct real estate investment platform backed by more than 80 family offices with more than $10 billion in combined assets under management, this resurgence underscores the strength of its value-added, middle-market strategy. REALM CEO Travis King shares his perspective on what’s driving the recovery, where opportunities are emerging and how family offices are reshaping the future of direct real estate ownership.
