Commercial real estate headlines paint a picture of widespread distress but the real data tells a different story. In this short, insight-packed session, Built's Andy Wallace breaks down what's actually happening across today's CRE landscape and why community banks are entering this next phase of the cycle from a position of strength.
Drawing on verified insights from the FDIC, Federal Reserve, OCC, and MBA, the session reveals a market that's stabilizing, selectively thawing, and full of opportunity for lenders who pair local expertise with disciplined processes.
In this short session, you'll learn:
- Why banks are outperforming industry averages on asset quality and how that strength supports smart CRE growth.
- Where CRE risk is actually concentrated today and which segments deserve closer attention.
- How balance-sheet discipline and better portfolio visibility create new lending capacity and reduce surprises.
- How modern workflows and draw administration tools improve control, accelerate decisions, and help lenders win high-quality deals.
If your institution is committed to deep relationships, disciplined lending, and smart growth, this session will show how the right visibility and workflow foundations can unlock the CRE opportunities already within your reach.
