There’s a mantra in commercial real estate that industry types repeat ad nauseam, as though the mere enunciation of the words will render them true: The Manhattan market is protected because it is on an island. The scarcity of space, and our general aversion to building new palm-shaped islands à la Dubai, is, in other words, a built-in safety measure. But like so many sacral beliefs, this one doesn’t always jibe with the facts. It didn’t hold true in the 1990s, when real estate developers built up as job growth fell down. And if the recession lasts long enough for the World Trade Center towers to add to the growing excess of office space on the market, it might not hold true this time, either, glutting the market with unleased space and upending the fragile psyche of an industry that wants to already believe it’s in recovery. read more »

Governments all across the world are responding to the current financial crisis with a range of nationalization initiatives, and increased support of various parts of the financial services industry through guarantees and pumping in increased liquidity. You know what it means when there's more government involvement with enterprises. Lots of regulations. Lots and lots of regulations. New channels of accountability. In addition, you can almost see the handwriting on the wall, especially here in the US, the epicenter of the crisis: there will be some kind of new legislation, a la Sarbanes Oxley, requiring greater transparency and regulation of mortgage markets and associated financial instruments.
