Lisa Knee Discusses How the BBB Might Impact CRE on Bloomberg TV

Lisa Knee, EisnerAmper Managing Partner, Real Estate Services, appeared on Bloomberg’s The Close television program. When speaking with show host Romaine Bison, Lisa offered insight into how the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) can positively impact commercial real estate (CRE), spurring economic growth and multi-family housing. However, it should be noted that deals must make sense. In market-rate real estate, the deals are not as attractive due to higher insurance rates, interest rates, and construction costs. To spur economic growth, other programs must be established.

The bill includes other incentives aimed at increasing low-income housing to reduce the housing shortage. Lisa went on to emphasize the importance of state and local governments working together with the federal government to efficiently award developers credits to successfully create affordable housing. Although the federal government establishes the credits and incentives, states and local governments are responsible for allocating and awarding them to developers, making it imperative to collaborate and educate to successfully reduce the shortage gap and foster economic growth.

Lisa continued to add insightful information on other provisions established by the OBBB, including successful affordable housing developments, potential timelines, QOZ updates, and how capital infusion affects the industry.
