What are your predictions for commercial real estate in 2019? - by Keb Brackenbury

Ultimately, interest rates will impact what the year will look like as a whole, but I do think we’ll continue to see the redeployment of existing buildings converted into apartments and office space. 
I also think we’ll see more historic and old warehouse space utilized for mixed-use with residential components. Rhode Island also has room and a demand for additional housing units, so I anticipate that market has the potential to strengthen in the near future. 
All in all, I see a continuation of the moderate, stabilized growth we saw in 2018.
