After ending the 2019 year with record setting capital raises and double-digit returns, market participants were looking forward to continued growth in REIT earnings in 2020. Although, the effect of the coronavirus varies widely across sectors, the hospitality, retail, and health care REIT sectors have undoubtedly been negatively impacted by increases in costs, diminished levels of foot traffic and occupancy rates, and uncertainty regarding the timing of restrictions and closures. Similarly, mortgage REITs have also been under considerable pressure as a result of a decrease in liquidity.
Join our panel of experts as they discuss the financial impact of the coronavirus on REIT structures and potential opportunities in a post-Covid-19 environment. A special thank you to DLA Piper, one of our 2020 sponsors, for moderating this event.
