Looking for some interesting insights in the real estate industry? Our coverage of REITs, investment managers, investors and owners / operators ensures we are current on market trends, but more interesting for us - gives us foundation to think about the future trends and what we think is around the corner. In the past we have thematically focused on new ways of doing old things, but we aren't limited to that theme. For example, we also like to focus on what we believe will be the new, new thing too... We are excited by the tractions our Perspectives are receiving within the industry, so check out our Perspectives. Share some feedback with us, or if you have ideas for new Perspectives, let us know.
