2023 Commercial real estate outlook

Leaders can navigate the future of real estate in 2023 and beyond by focusing on strategic execution, talent, and innovation.

Following a pandemic-fueled course correction, the global real estate industry faces transformational shifts in how buildings will be used, valued, and transacted in 2023 and beyond. Ongoing uncertainty in the global economy could impact the industry even more. In the near term, the potential for regional or global recession or stagnation looms—and these impacts would be felt across financial services sectors.

Deloitte surveyed 450 chief financial officers of major commercial real estate owners and investors to get their opinions about organizational growth and their plans for workforce, regulatory compliance, and technology. We also asked about their investment priorities and anticipated structural changes in 2023.
