Michael Thom Michael Thom Shares 2025 CRE Insights in a GlobeSt.com Interview
Michael Thom, a partner at Obermayer specializing in commercial real estate, was featured in a GlobeSt.com article titled “Industrial Tops CRE Investment Picks for 2025, Expert Says,” published on January 10, 2025. In the interview, Thom shared his outlook for 2025, highlighting the industrial sector as a top investment choice due to its rising rents, low vacancy rates, and strong demand.
“Rents are going up for these spaces, which make them good investments for commercial landlords. They have low vacancy rates, unlike a lot of other industries,” Thom explained.
He also sees opportunities in the multifamily sector, driven by housing unaffordability and increased demand for rentals.
“Multifamily apartment units, whether it’s 30 units or five units — you’re going to fill them up,” he said.
Thom is particularly confident in industrial properties because of their low risk and consistent demand.
“If you have a good industrial space with a good location and access, people are going to want that space,” he noted.
With interest rates still high, Thom advises buyers to stay patient and focus on finding “value deals” with long-term potential.
