The “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” report from the Urban Land Institute and PwC is one of the most important of the year — and Bisnow got an early copy of the 2024 edition.

Chock-full of interviews, data and U.S. real estate capital deployment trends, this year’s report boils down to one primary takeaway: the post-pandemic “Great Reset” is finally underway.

Real estate is not going “back to normal,” the report reveals, and the optimism of 2021 and 2022 has fallen by the wayside.

Overall the report’s findings are mixed — five days a week at the office is dead, retail is flourishing and AI is bigger than ever in CRE, but no one is using it yet.

For an in-depth analysis, Bisnow National Reporter Dees Stribling landed an exclusive interview with Anita Kramer, senior vice president of ULI.
