Ed Pettinella, president and CEO of Home Properties Inc. (NYSE: HME), joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview at NAREIT’s 2015 Washington Leadership Forum.
Pettinella speculated that the apartment market in Washington, D.C., would start to recover in the second half of 2015. He noted that job growth is returning in the area following a period of government spending cuts. Additionally, the supply of apartment units in the region is expected to peak this year.
Mark Decker Sr., vice chairman with BMO Capital Markets, joined REIT.com for a video interview at REITWorld 2014: NAREIT’s Annual Convention for All Things REIT at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.
Decker rebuffed the suggestion that the U.S. REIT market is approaching the upper limit of its growth. The universe of REITs in the United States will continue to expand as more sectors are added, according to Decker. He pointed to sectors such as data centers and farmland as examples of how the REIT approach to real estate investment will continue to grow.
