On this episode of The Horizon, John Chang interviews John Manning, Executive Managing Director at Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation, to unpack the current lending environment across commercial real estate. Manning outlines why CMBS lending has surged in 2025, citing borrower acceptance of current interest rates, availability of non-recourse loans, and the appeal of full-term interest-only financing.
