“Real estate is a block by block, building by building business. If trucks need to make three left turns coming off the interstate to get to a building, and tenants can go into a building where they only need to make right turns, they're going to save 90 seconds every time. That adds up over the years in diesel fuel costs. They're going to go to those buildings first.”
— Charlie Rose, @InvescoUS (EP. 519)

"If there's one thing I hate as a lender more than anything else, it's uncertainty. Today, office is more underwritable, at least for the good stuff.”
— Charlie Rose, @InvescoUS (EP. 519)

“We are not lending on data centers. The yields are interesting on the face of it. However, we believe there's fundamental binary risk. You oftentimes have a single tenant, and there's no alternative use.”
