According to commercial real estate and REIT specialists, there is no surprise that M&A activity picked up in 2021, particularly after the health crisis slowed or killed many M&A deals in 2020. Last year, the value of mergers and acquisitions across the U.S. hit $2.6 trillion, which is twice the 2020 volume, according to Dealogic data.
In 2021, the very busy M&A market surpassed all records and experts expect the same strength in M&Aamp; activity to follow this year as well. However, it is possible that the markets might get slowed down to a certain extent due to rising inflation and potential tighter regulations.
In a podcast with Commercial Property Executive, Rob Raymond, Managing Director in FTI’s Real Estate industry practice, discusses what impacted the upturn in M&A activity last year and how it influenced companies’ real estate decisions and needs.
