Market studies
Rosen Consulting Group
Rosen Consulting Group (RCG) is an independent real estate economics consulting firm. It provides strategic consulting and investment guidance to banks, insurance companies, institutional investors, and public and private real estate operators, and produces its own economic and property market forecasts rather than reselling third-party data.
Consulting assignments range from urgent, rapid-turnaround questions to longer strategy collaborations: support for distressed portfolios and opportunistic investment programs, market timing and purchase/sale optimization, capital formation and financing strategy, market selection for core, opportunistic, lending and development strategies, portfolio strategy assessment and review, evaluation of emerging property niches, global market research, analysis of major banks' loan portfolios, and leasing strategy for major corporations. Consultants also present economic and real estate outlooks at client planning and strategy meetings.
Alongside consulting, RCG publishes quarterly and monthly reports covering the economy, capital markets and real estate markets, including risk and supply/demand analysis. Its U.S. Outlook report carries proprietary forecasts and interpretive analysis of national and regional economic, demographic and property market conditions, with a base economic scenario and alternative scenarios for GDP growth, interest rates and stock market valuations. Reports are sold on a subscription or individual basis.
RCG was founded in 1990 and works from Berkeley and New York. The firm has announced that it has adopted the Andersen brand, so confirm the current entity name, engagement terms and team before commissioning a study.
Best for
Banks, insurers and institutional investors that need an independent read on market timing, market selection or a distressed portfolio. Overkill for a single small acquisition that needs only a local feasibility study.
