No Cap by CRE Daily Finding "Gaps and Cracks" in the Market: Canyon Partners' Real Estate Strategy
Feb 22, 2026
44:23
Season 5, Episode 7: Season 5 keeps going with a look at where capital is really moving as the market works through its next phase. Jack and Alex are joined by Matt Brody, Managing Director and Head of Real Estate Capital Formation at Canyon Partners, one of the most active firms in real estate credit and special situations.
They get into how Matt’s experience during the GFC shaped his approach to capital raising, how Canyon thinks about structured credit and recapitalizations, and why today’s opportunity set looks more like quiet, intermediated stress than headline distress. The conversation also covers what LPs are prioritizing right now, why credit is back in focus, and what the wall of maturities could mean for the next stretch of the cycle.
