U.S. REIT M&A Themes (REIT)

Executive Summary

U.S. REIT M&A activity has accelerated meaningfully through 2024 and the first half of 2026. Deal value totaled approximately $85 billion across the REIT sector in 2024-2025 combined — among the heaviest two-year M&A volumes in the REIT sector’s history. The pattern is structurally important: REIT equity values have been compressed by the higher-rate environment since 2022, creating discount-to-NAV multiples that have attracted strategic acquirers and financial sponsors. We at T&T Capital Management view the M&A theme as one of the highest-conviction directional setups across our REIT coverage. This thematic piece walks the recent deals, the patterns we observe, and the names in our coverage we view as most likely M&A candidates over the next 12-24 months.
