Jennifer Johnson, Partner and head of the national real estate practice at Lathrop GPM, was recently featured in a Q&A with Connect Money, where she shared her perspective on how private wealth is reshaping the commercial real estate (CRE) landscape.
Drawing on decades of experience advising Fortune 500 companies and high-net-worth individuals, Jennifer discussed:
- The shift from active to passive investment strategies, including the use of 1031 exchanges to transition into NNN leases and Delaware Statutory Trusts
- The continued relevance of office space in a hybrid work environment, especially Class A properties in key locations
- The growing interest in passive real estate vehicles among family offices and private clients
- The evolving role of legal advisors in multigenerational wealth planning, working alongside estate planners, tax professionals and wealth managers
- The appeal of off-market transactions for both buyers and sellers seeking efficiency and exclusivity
Jennifer’s insights underscore the importance of strategic, collaborative planning in real estate investment and the enduring value of real estate in diversified wealth portfolios.
