Which CRE Property Types are Outperforming

September 2021

Apartment, Industrial, and Self-Storage have all seen elevated investor sentiment as they outperformed other property types.

These property types saw operations hold steady or improve over the past year.
Economic recovery and positive demographics drove Apartment net absorption to an all-time, record high.
Industrial properties, favored pre-pandemic, got a boost from the jump in eCommerce.
Vacancy for Self-Storage dropped to the lowest level ever as remote working and learning drove the need for additional space in people’s homes.

All three sectors have strong investor expectations for rising values over the next 12 months.
