  1. KKR Co-CEOs Henry Kravis and George Roberts Step Down “Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, who have served as the firm’s co-presidents since July 2017, will become co-CEOs, effective immediately, KKR said Monday.

  2. A $40B Wall Of Hard-To-Refi Retail CMBS Coming Due “More than $40B in commercial mortgage-backed securities associated with retail properties is slated to come due over the next three years, hovering like a storm cloud over the asset class.” (Bisnow)
  3. ‘It’s Not Sustainable’: What America’s Port Crisis Looks Like Up Close “It has come to this in the Great Supply Chain Disruption: They are running out of places to put things at one of the largest ports in the United States. As major ports contend with a staggering pileup of cargo, what once seemed like a temporary phenomenon — a traffic jam that would eventually dissipate — is increasingly viewed as a new reality that could require a substantial refashioning of the world’s shipping infrastructure.” (The New York Times)

  5. Mall Visits Declined In September, Interrupting Sector’s Recovery “The decline marks a continued interruption in the steady recovery the sector had enjoyed since the beginning of the year, which was driven by pent-up demand, the lifting of various COVID-related restrictions and the back-to-school shopping season.” (GlobeSt.com)

Tax appraisals of the city’s office buildings for 2022 put the worth of this sector of the property market, which spans 464M SF, at $29B less than it was after last year’s appraisals, according to the Office of New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.” (Bisnow)
