LOS ANGELES-The commercial real estate industry is only at a $30 billion placement of CMBS, and it should be double that or more to get deals flowing contended Bob Kline, chief executive officer of RW Kiline Cos. He spoke here recently with GlobeSt.com's Bob Howard at ULI fall meeting.

The two also talked about:

  • The phase of recovery that commercial real estate capital markets is in.
  • What role white knight, or friendly rescue capital is playing in the industry.
  • Loan maturities and the state of distressed-asset sales.
  • The role the FDIC will play in getting deals done.
