RCA in the commercial property press:

Private Equity Continues Investment in CRE

National Real Estate Investor reports: Well over 400 private equity funds regularly invest in commercial property, with 18 funds conducting capital raisings this year. Distressed assets are beginning to be a focus of these funds; 22% of all capital raised in 2010 was intended to target troubled properties.
According to RCA Managing Director Dan Fasulo, many investors need patience to wait for these distressed assets as negotiations take place behind the scenes. Note purchases often prove to be a convenient way to gain access to a property.

Private equity will most likely continue to invest in commercial real estate as the lure of potential double digit returns is too great to pass up when few other investments are currently offering such yields.
