This week on GoodLife Housing Partners Podcast — From Fed drama and Trump’s tariff maneuvers to September’s market “ambush zone,” mall reinventions, and Nvidia’s $4T AI real estate build-out, David and Rohan unpack what’s shaping CRE right now.

  • Fed Watch – PCE came in as expected, jobs report ahead, and Trump moves to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook while fast-tracking loyal replacements.

  •  September Effect – Historically the S&P’s worst month, dubbed the market’s “ambush zone.”
  •  Retail Remix – Chuck’s Arcade debuts in Brea Mall, chasing nostalgia and the “kid-dult” spend.
  •  Office Stress – Paramount’s NYC towers under SEC scrutiny and One Cal Plaza in LA falls into receivership.
  •  AI Real Estate Boom – Nvidia projects $4T in digital infrastructure spending by 2030. The capital wave is expected to fund massive data centers and expand real estate footprints nationwide. 
  •  Industrial Target – Activist investor Elliott takes a big stake in Rexford Industrial, betting on SoCal logistics.
