Proactive Tenant Viability Management: Cultivating Success in a Dynamic Market

Navigating Uncertainty, Cultivating Success

The commercial real estate (CRE) world in 2025 is a picture of change and contrast. While some areas are showing strength – office markets seem to be finding their footing with more space being leased in key locations, and the demand for industrial space is still reasonably strong, even if it’s cooled off a bit – real challenges remain.

However, the industry faces significant headwinds –  like inflation eating into operating costs and tenants’ profits, the impact of interest rate swings on financing and property values, and the lasting effect of hybrid work on office needs are all part of the current mix.

On top of that, the industry is dealing with more significant shifts, like tougher regulations and a growing need to focus on sustainability and ESG goals.

It’s essential to recognize that the market isn’t the same everywhere. There’s a clear trend where trophy properties in great locations with modern features are doing well – commanding higher rents and attracting tenants that want to keep their employees happy and project a strong brand image. Older or less attractive properties are facing more difficulties. This split shows that recovery and opportunities aren’t spread evenly.

Property managers who embrace this change, adjust their strategies, and focus on helping their tenants succeed are in the best position. They can not only handle the complexities but also build more stable properties and stronger, more valuable connections with their tenants.
There’s a feeling of cautious optimism in the industry, with hopes for better leasing activity and potential relief if interest rates stabilize as expected.
 
This white paper presents proactive tenant viability management as a key strategy for success in today’s CRE market. It’s about more than just avoiding problems; it’s about understanding how supporting and working with tenants directly leads to property stability, keeps tenants around longer, and ultimately boosts the property’s performance.
