executive insight Video Interviews Debut at MHW Denver—Multi-Housing News launched MHN TV Online at the Multi-Housing World 2008 Exhibition and Conference held here in mid September. MHN editors videotaped must-see interviews with some key industry experts and MultiHousing World panelists who shared their insights on a range of timely subjects, from the economy to property management. The Q & As were shot in MHN’s trade show booth. Tune in to watch what these multifamily experts have to say. Here’s a preview: “The supply and demand balance over the foreseeable future—what’s under construction and what we know is out there—looks awfully good for apartments,” said Ronald G. Brock, Sr., president and CEO, Pierce-Eislen Inc., in a video clip. Still, Brock predicted that high-end discretionary renter apartments will see some increase in vacancies in the next year, while the mid-range, workforce and affordable sectors will see increasing occupancy levels. “This is a time to hold, and could be a time to buy, depending on what sector you’re interested in,” Brock said. Sam Chandan, chief economist and senior vice president at REIS, cautioned that future financing difficulties, a paucity of buyers on the exit end, or overleveraged properties may bring prices down, despite strong apartment fundamentals. “There is no question that the CMBS market has to come back for there to be a real availability of funding for acquisition and refinance,” said Brock. However, Chandan added, the CMBS market “will take a while to return.” Other MHN TV Online participants included: Clyde Holland, CEO & chairman of Holland Partner Group; Christy Freeland, CEO of Riverstone Residential Group; Richard Green, Ph.D., director of the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate; Bob Bach, national director, market analysis, Grubb & Ellis Co.; and Mark Humphreys, CEO, Humphreys & Partners Architects LP.
