Cole rebuffed ARCP\u2019s earlier offers, as did BRE to Essex\u2019s overtures. We don\u2019t think either deal would\u2019ve been announced without them being \u2018friendly\u2019 processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Costa is doubtful that this deal be a catalyst for more REIT mergers: \u201cWe think mergers remain idiosyncratic; limited synergies and the generally tight band around NAV that REITs trade at usually reduce potential returns such that the structural considerations and social issues are enough to keep public peers on the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A report released earlier this month by Green Street Advisors notes that the net-lease REIT sector has grown enormously (to the point that it\u2019s about the same size as the industrial, lodging or self-storage REIT sectors) and that institutional investors have become more active with net-lease REITs.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Street report also highlights the \u201cbrisk pace of M&amp;A activity\u201d involving public net-lease REITs, which totaled more than $32 billion of deals announced over the past two years. \u201cThe quest for scale, and the perceived operational and cost of capital advantages associated with it, have been prime motivations for M&amp;A deals and will likely foster additional consolidation in the NL space,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cARCP\u2019s empire-building has been exponential, and the merger with Cole catapults it into the top-20 largest REITs, globally,\u201d Britton Costa, associate director with Fitch Ratings, told Commercial Property Executive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004069231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004090391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
