NEW YORK CITY—This week's focus of GlobeSt.com's 15th Anniversary program is on investment trends. Yesterday, we covered yields and volume. Today and the rest of the week, we're taking a look at the numbers by sector—that is, investment activity across the five core property sectors, using data from Real Capital Analytics.
The following charts take a look at the most active office and industrial investors between January 1, 2001—when RCA started tracking commercial real estate deal information—and July 2015. For each sector, the top 15 investors are filtered by three fields: total number of properties acquired, total square footage acquired and total dollar volume of acquisitions over the past 14 years.
At the end of this week, we will bring together all the data and examine which firms have been the most active since 2001, and which, if any, continue to dominate the commercial real estate scene.
All information in the charts below was obtained from Real Capital Analytics.
