Capital Markets

Nareit and Bloomberg Intelligence co-hosted a webinar on June 29, Interest Rates, REIT Capital Raising & Cap Rates, which looked at how REITs are grappling with the twin challenges of high inflation and rising interest rates, including how those challenges are affecting expansion and the capital raising environment.

Robust demand from tenants contributed to declining vacancy rates across most property types, and faster rent growth.

In 2021 REIT capital market activity has been highlighted by the announcement of eleven REIT mergers.
