In a candid discussion, John Makarewicz reflects on a recent disappointment—a promising real estate deal that collapsed after the seller was swayed by a larger investor. But for John, the story doesn’t end there. He’s preparing to submit a more competitive offer, underscoring his commitment to tenacity and creativity in today’s complex real estate environment.
John speaks to a broader shift in investor sentiment: while retail investors are growing cautious, family offices are ramping up interest. It's a trend he’s watching closely as he builds toward long-term success.
Drawing on lessons from the Great Recession, John advocates for a measured reinvestment in public markets, while placing his core focus on value-add real estate projects—strategies that offer growth in a potentially correcting market.
Looking ahead, John is teaming up with partners to acquire up to $1 billion in commercial real estate over the next 12–18 months, focusing on public housing and innovative funding methods. It’s not just about deals—it’s about relationships, especially with local authorities and trusted acquisition partners.
