Amy Tait, chairman and CEO of private REIT Broadstone Real Estate, joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview at REITWorld 2016: NAREIT’s Annual Convention for All Things REIT at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge.
Tait described overall investor interest in private REITs as “terrific.” She said Broadstone is raising equity every month on a regular basis at levels that are on par with the best the company has ever seen.
“I don’t expect that to change,” she commented.
In the latest edition of Fundamentally Speaking, Calvin Schnure, NAREIT’s vice president for research and industry information, looked at the increase in commercial construction activity and its impact on the real estate market.
Schnure observed that an increase in commercial construction has been evident “across the board,” with third quarter commercial construction spending 16 percent higher than a year ago.
Matt Werner, portfolio manager at Chilton Capital Management, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWeek 2014: NAREIT’s Investor Forum, held in New York.
In January, Chilton launched the Chilton Realty Income & Growth Fund, which invests in equity REITs and other real estate-related entities. Werner said the fund operates a “top-down process” that considers geographic regions, property types, fundamentals and demographic trends. The information is then entered into Chilton’s proprietary earnings models, which then builds a target price, Werner explained.
