About this episode
This week, we discuss the House of Brookfield’s new overlord: Connor Teskey has a modest target – double AUM to $2 trillion. We talk about the labyrinth that is Brookfield’s corporate structure – Bruce Flatt's not going away – and what CRE’s role in the ramp-up will be. We then look at the flurry of REIT take-privates, from Peakstone to Plymouth. And finally, we slip into resort casual and discuss a princely condo buyout payoff in West Palm Beach – the goat Steve Ross makes an appearance. We also do a "Punch List" rundown of the newsiest industry happenings: Michael Shvo's bitter breakup with German pension fund BVK; Blackstone & DivcoWest's SF triumph; and tranche warfare in the mall space.
