  • Break on Through! Global central banks’ two-and-a-half-year tightening cycle has not been kind to commercial real estate. Public REITs’ dramatic underperformance relative to broader equities during this period raises the question: Is the time ripe for a rebound? The REITs’ valuation case remains compelling, with REIT stocks trading at discounts to both broader equities and private market values. REITs are growing organically, with management teams grinding out income, but refinancings at higher rates hurt earnings, and acquisition opportunities are limited. The Fed looks poised to cut rates at least once in 2024, with the “dot plot” suggesting another 100 bp of cuts in each of 2025 and 2026. We see this as the shot in the arm the market needs. In the meantime, our portfolio is populated by strong businesses run by capable operators, harnessing growth in digital infrastructure and healthcare while mining value in net lease, residential, and shopping centers. Enjoy our second quarter 2024 market update. Call or email if you would like to discuss one-on-one! #REITs #RealEstate #MarketUpdate #Investment #EconomicOutlook #CommercialRealEstate #DigitalInfrastructure

  • Power-hungry data centers face their biggest threat yet: access to power. Data center REITs are adapting...

    “10x”: Navigating the Future of Data Centers Amid Power Constraints Data centers have emerged as a major property type within the REIT sector. Tremendous demand and supply have fueled the sector’s expansion over the past two decades. However, the supply pipeline may become constrained by decreasing access to power. According to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), at 2.9 watt-hours per ChatGPT request, power-hungry AI queries are estimated to require 10x the electricity of traditional Google queries. (!) The massive challenge: meeting the surging energy needs of data centers as AI and other technologies push U.S. power demand. By 2030, these digital hubs could drain between 4.6%-9.1% of U.S. electricity, up from 4% last year (EPRI). The balance of energy sources—gas, renewables, batteries, nuclear—will shape future carbon emissions. While tech giants push for zero-carbon energy deals, natural gas may support 75-100% of near-term data center load growth (TD Cowen). Data center REITs are adapting through: - Investing in renewable energy. - Enhancing energy efficiency. - Exploring on-site power generation. - Strategic location selection. - Long-term power purchase agreements. Power constraints will influence expansion, costs, geographic shifts, and regulatory pressures, necessitating strategic adjustments for sustained growth and reliability.
