Brandon Shorenstein on the Office Market Reset and Investing Beyond the Cycle

Raphael Sidelsky sits down with Brandon Shorenstein, Chairman and CEO of Shorenstein Realty Services, to discuss the firm’s evolution from a San Francisco office operator into a national institutional real estate platform. Brandon shares how Shorenstein has refined its investment strategy to combine bottom-up underwriting with top-down market analysis, focusing on markets and micro-markets with strong leasing demand, low vacancy, and attractive long-term fundamentals. He discusses recent acquisitions across Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, New York, and other markets; opportunities emerging from the post-COVID reset in office values; and why smaller, high-quality assets are increasingly attractive. Brandon also provides insight into the recovery of office debt markets, Shorenstein’s current fundraising efforts, and the importance of discipline and staying focused on areas of expertise during periods of market dislocation.
