CRE workouts, maturity walls, and the art of restructuring
We sit down with returning guest Shlomo Chopp, Managing Partner of Case Equity Partners, for a candid look at where the commercial real estate financing and workout market stands today. Shlomo draws on more than two decades of restructuring and advisory experience to explain why fatigued capital is pulling back from existing deals, what the maturity wall actually means for borrowers and lenders in 2026 and 2027, and why good intentions can walk a borrower straight into a recourse situation. The conversation also covers Shlomo’s LinkedIn series The Road to Default, the real job of a workout advisor, and what he thinks the industry consistently gets wrong about distress.
