We wrapped up our #REITwise conference yesterday with great energy and more insightful panels and speakers, including the one and only Spencer Levy. This is one of our favorite conferences, and we couldn't have done it without our incredible sponsors, speakers, and attendees. We look forward to seeing all our fantastic accounting, legal, tax, finance, HR, and sustainability professionals next year, March 23-25, 2027, in Las Vegas.

We're continuing our coverage of our #REITwise conference. Yesterday we annouced the recipients of our Leader in the Light Awards and heard about everything from navigating cross-border tax issues and regulatory developments to cultivating future-ready talent and resilient portfolios. But the best was seeing all the smiles--on the panels, in the hallways, and at networking events!

A strong start to the year for #REITs may be more than just momentum, it could be a signal says our own Edward F. Pierzak. Through the first two months of 2026, REITs delivered a 10.5% total return, one of the strongest starts on record. And history tells an interesting story: 📊 In past years with similarly strong early gains, REITs finished the year positive every time. 📈 On average, early returns of 9.6% grew to 25% by year-end. 🔁 In most cases, performance didn’t just hold, it accelerated. Of course, past performance isn’t predictive...but the pattern is hard to ignore. Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/evYfSwY8

REIT access to equity could accelerate acquisitions in 2026, say industry experts. This insightful new REIT.com article explains why. Some of our favorite quotes? 💡 Jason Fox (W. P. Carey Inc.): "REITs are likely to be more active acquirers this year. That's reflected in deal volume to date, as well as many of the guidance numbers for 2026." 💡 Joey Agree (Agree Realty Corporation): "Our pipeline to start the year is very healthy, filled with typical assets and pricing that investors would anticipate from Agree Realty." 💡 Bryan Connolly (DLA Piper): "Public REITs have been challenged by the gap between how the public market values their stock and how the private market values the underlying real estate. However, as private market values continue to adjust to the new reality, this headwind should diminish." Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ezk4iFWU Thanks to Matt Werner, CFA (Chilton Capital Management LLC); Steve Hentschel (JLL); and Daniel Ismail, CFA (Green Street) for also sharing their expertise for this article, and to Beth Mattson-Teig for perfectly capturing the current REIT transaction landscape.
