Key Points

  • Stream Realty Partners' acquisition of Amazon-occupied warehouses in Richmond for $97.5 million underscores the rapid appreciation and strategic value of industrial real estate assets.
  • The sale-leaseback model, exemplified by SRS Real Estate Partners' recent transactions, offers property owners a way to unlock capital while maintaining operational control, a strategy that could be beneficial in both U.S. and Canadian markets.
  • The trend of tech companies, like StubHub, securing significant office space in Atlanta indicates a renewed interest in physical office locations, driven by the need to accommodate hybrid work models and boost employee productivity.
