Hurricane Helene’s Impact: $426B in Commercial Property at Risk

Hurricane Helene has made landfall in Florida as a catastrophic Category 4 storm, threatening $426 billion in commercial property across the Southeastern U.S. With devastating winds and storm surges, the storm poses immediate dangers and long-term economic implications for the commercial real estate sector. Additionally, we explore the looming foreclosure crisis in Houston, where $260 million in CRE loans are set for auction, and the plummeting valuations in Hong Kong's commercial property market. Lastly, we highlight the launch of an Interactive Property Map by the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation, aimed at enhancing access to commercial real estate information for local entrepreneurs and investors.
