At the SPAC of Dawn

Any play in the commercial property market appears set to be a buy-low opportunity for some time as real estate lender New York Community Bancorp (NYSE:NYCB) saw its bonds downgraded to junk and European and Asian banks show signs of the same contagion. Still, of all the times to start a WeWork reclamation project, now would appear to be an odd one.

Nonetheless, as noted below, WeWork’s founder has reportedly been eyeing a return to the market since at least December by scooping up the assets of his beleaguered former behemoth in the co-working space. Serial sponsor Barry Sternlicht, who has backed the JAWS family of SPACs, predicted that major write-downs of losses are coming across the asset class as the anticipated return of American workers to offices has not fully occurred.
