In 2000, Real Capital Analytics started tracking commercial property transactions in the United States. Beginning in 2007, coverage was expanded to include all markets globally and RCA has since then recorded approximately $2.1 trillion of deals throughout 113 other countries.
RCA focuses primarily on the main income-producing property types: office, industrial, retail, apartment and hotel, plus sales of commercially developable land sites. RCA captures sales of properties and portfolios of $2.5 million or greater in the US and $10 million and greater outside of the US.
