📰 Partners Ness Cohen and Jonathan Newman spoke to Law360 about Real Estate M&A. Jon explained that Blackstone's US$10 billion takeover of AIR Communities, which was announced on Monday, is indicative of the kind of M&A activity that has been occurring behind the scenes. "That's a perfect example of a deal that was obviously active in Q1, and it didn't get announced until this quarter," he said. Ness added that some asset types are trading more in M&A deals than others, including those in the multifamily, logistics, data center and healthcare sectors. "Are people concerned about the pricing, given inflation and rates? Yes," he said. "And that has maybe led to a bit of a slowdown, but there are deals that are happening."

Exciting news! Calder Capital is expanding into Florida with a new office in the Tampa Bay area, led by seasoned dealmaker Matt Uhl. Part of our 10-year plan is nationwide expansion physically,” commented Max Friar. “While we serve clients everywhere presently, it’s important to have boots on the ground for those critical face-to-face meetings and discussions. Additionally, Florida makes a lot of sense. Beyond the significant business and community ties to the Midwest, the population of Florida is expected to grow 30% by 2040 and already the state is one of the largest economies in the world.” Friar continued, “Quite frankly, we continue to find that manufacturing, construction, and services businesses in the $2-50M range are underserved; Main Street brokers are ill-equipped and ineffective, and larger investment banks are not interested.” Connect with Matt to learn more about our growth and how we can assist you with your M&A needs!

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 – $𝟔𝟗.𝟑 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 – 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐚𝐤 In anticipation of future opportunities, Royal Oak strategically accelerated equity raising in 2023 to build up meaningful “dry powder” to capitalize on what we believed would be a more favorable marketplace in the coming months. We anticipated an upcoming window where all-cash, well-capitalized buyers would see a substantial increase in real estate opportunities as the pool of buyers shrank in the face of higher interest rates and decreasing access to financing. We are pleased to report that this thesis has been validated so far in 2024. As we have mentioned, we successfully closed three transactions last month totaling over $69 million – making April 2024 the most productive and successful month for acquisitions in the history of Royal Oak.

Howdy! Buy Order! This past week the Real Estate & Financials sector (Christian Larios-Cruz, Maxwell Finnegan, Reece Jumonville, and Gauravaram Ganesh Sudhakar) in the Aggie Investment Club Equity Fund pitched Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI), a cell tower and telecommunications infrastructure company based in Houston. The fund accepted our pitch and has allocated 4.4% of our AUM for CCI. Our 2-year price target is $158.68 with an implied 62.22% upside. This interesting story with much noise is fueled by a potential fiber and small cell asset sale (~$12Bn), activist investor Elliott Investment Management L.P., a management shake-up, a current proxy fight started by a co-founder, and significant balance sheet restructuring. Attached below is our full presentation, valuation models, and in-depth investment thesis on Crown Castle. Please let me know what you think! #longAIC #ReclaimingTheCrown #RestoringTheCastle
