The uncertainty surrounding the wider economy has kept interest
rates low, providing REITs with good opportunity for growth.
Furthermore, low levels of supply have been benefiting the industry
and constrained lending for development will likely continue this
trend.
During the final quarter of last year, REIT mergers and
acquisitions gained some momentum, fuelled by easy access to
capital and low interest rates. For some this seems to be carrying
over into 2013. American Realty Capital Trust Inc. recently
announced that its merger with Realty Income Corporation has gained
stockholders' approval. Read our full analysis on American Realty

Elsewhere in the industry, Duke Realty seems focused on
improving its balance sheet and lowering its interest expenses. The
company recently priced a public offering of 36 million common
shares at $14.25 per share, the
proceeds of which are intended to pay down debt and for general
corporate expenses. Sign up now and download our free report on
