Institutional capital, private equity, and individual investors continue to view U.S. net lease properties as a resilient segment within commercial real estate. Against a backdrop of fluctuating interest rates, evolving tenant preferences, and a renewed focus on yield stability, understanding the dynamics of this sector has never been more valuable.
On November 15 at 2:20 PM EST, Dan Lewkowicz, Senior Director of Encore Real Estate Investment Services, will deliver a keynote session titled “Nothing But Net (NNN)” at the NCC IQ “ReInvested: Navigating Growth, Risk, and Return in U.S. Multifamily Real Estate” virtual event (November 15-16). With extensive experience transacting across shopping centers, medical office buildings, pharmacies, QSRs, discount retail, automotive properties, and resort assets, Mr. Lewkowicz brings a perspective grounded in transaction volume and market intelligence.
This session is designed to provide investors, operators, and capital allocators with a refined view of how net lease assets can serve as both an anchor of stability and a driver of competitive returns.
Why Net Lease Properties Continue to Attract Capital
Net lease structures — where tenants cover taxes, insurance, and maintenance, offer predictable cash flows and reduced landlord responsibilities. For institutions and high-net-worth investors, these characteristics often align with portfolio objectives that seek consistency across market cycles.
Key considerations for today’s investors include:
Tenant creditworthiness in a shifting retail and healthcare environment
Lease duration and escalations in an inflationary climate
Asset selection across defensive categories such as medical office and essential retail
Valuation metrics influenced by interest rate movements and buyer-seller expectation gaps
Mr. Lewkowicz’s session will explore how these factors intersect and where opportunities may be emerging across the country.
