The U.S. economy is nearing 10 years of continuous expansion- over 20 million net new jobs have been created so far and the unemployment rate is at 49 year lows. Commercial real estate has benefited tremendously from this growth cycle. But the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and financial conditions have tightened. The global economy is slowing and the sugar-high from Federal tax cuts and added government spending is beginning to fade. So... where do we go from here?Join us for a stimulating discussion of the Global, U.S. and Twin Cities Economic Outlook and what it means for interest rates, bank credit availability, and the commercial real estate environment in the year ahead.
