Post-pandemic real estate markets present many interesting opportunities, despite their ongoing challenges. While "back-to-office" efforts remain weak in many urban cores, those same downtowns are experiencing booming retail, entertainment and cultural visitation.

In a new episode of the Cornell Keynotes podcast from eCornell, Associate Professor Emeritus Jan deRoos and senior lecturers Jeanne Varney and Daniel Lebret from the Cornell Nolan School of Hotel Administration explore the forces driving real estate market trends and delve into recent efforts to convert "office-to-anything-else" spaces.

Takeaways from the episode include:

• The real estate property types that are poised to thrive in the second half of the 2020s
• How much office values need to drop to make adaptive reuse and conversions economically viable
• What cities and areas hold promise to grow and prosper in the near future
