QuotedData’s Real Estate Monthly Roundup – July 2025
At the halfway point of the year, real estate stocks have performed strongly – up 8.0% on average. In June, the median uplift was 1.9% and was again dominated by merger and acquisition (M&A) news. Warehouse REIT has been the subject of a number of diminishing offers from private equity giant Blackstone over recent months, but was the subject of a merger offer from a listed peer at a healthy premium to the previous recommended bid (see the corporate news section for details).
Life Science REIT’s manager is busy optimising its portfolio ahead of a mooted sale of the company (see the news section for details on portfolio lettings progress). Another M&A candidate Empiric Student Property received a proposed offer from a listed peer at a substantial premium to its long-time depressed share price. AEW UK REIT has been a standout performer in the sector for a number of years, and again proved its mettle in annual results (see the valuations move section for further details).
