NYSE’s Bohlert Says REIT IPO Pipeline Relatively Dry

Ron Bohlert, managing director of the global corporate client group of the NYSE, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2014: NAREIT’s Law, Accounting and Finance Conference held in Boca Raton, Fla.

Bohlert was asked to discuss some of the initial trends in the market for REIT initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2014. Bohlert described the 2013 IPO market as “incredibly active.” Overall, 230 companies listed in 2013 (half of those on the NYSE), generating approximately $ 55 billion in new capital. Seventeen REITs listed and raised a combined total of $ 4.5 billion.
