The Evolving Landscape of Real Estate Finance: Insights from Haynes Boone

[Published on May 21st 2025]

In this exclusive video,  Nicholas Hoffman, Partner in the real estate finance group at Haynes Boone, discusses the current landscape of real estate financing. As traditional lenders, particularly regional banks,  tighten their lending practices due to falling real estate values, non-bank and non-traditional lenders are stepping in to fill the gap.

Nick shares insights on the challenges borrowers face in securing financing, especially in sectors like office and multifamily real estate,  where valuations have significantly decreased. He also explores alternative sources of capital that borrowers are turning to, including preferred equity and C-PACE lending, which have gained popularity in recent years.
