[Webinar] Rethinking Rent Growth in Commercial Real Estate: The Columbia CompStak Rent Index

Watch the webinar on your schedule. Available on-demand starting April 22.

Commercial real estate has never had a clean rent benchmark. The Columbia CompStak Rent Index (CCRI) changes that. Introducing a new lens for understanding what rent is actually doing in your markets.

Most rent benchmarks track face rent and miss everything underneath it. Concessions have expanded. Quality mix distorts averages. In some markets, face rent and net effective rent are moving in opposite directions. CCRI was built to show you which story is true.

What you’ll learn in this webinar:

• Why face rent is no longer enough: Understand how TI allowances and free rent periods have created a growing gap between headline rents and what landlords actually collect.
• How constant-quality regression works: Get a plain-language breakdown of the methodology behind CCRI: how NER, concessions, and CQR combine into a cleaner benchmark.
• Ways to apply CCRI in your work: From portfolio benchmarking to building-level operating decisions to individual rent prediction, see how the index changes real workflows.
• Where averages and reality diverge most: Live examples from Dallas and Manhattan show exactly how conventional rent indices can point in the opposite direction from true market conditions.
