Real estate has long been categorized as an illiquid asset, lumped somewhat together with interests in private companies, alternative investment strategies, sports teams etc., in contrast to liquid assets such as stocks, bonds, and currencies.
But this view has become outdated, at least for certain real estate asset classes. The markets for workforce multifamily, student housing and particularly triple-net lease assets have changed and matured to a degree that has reduced their illiquidity. As a result, family offices are viewing real estate as not only a staple, at close to 17.5% of portfolio allocations, but also more closely on the spectrum to liquid assets.
