[{"id": "dv9yxav", "text": "Most of the REITs I deal with do some sort of development in-house.  However, it can be difficult to tie up $$$ on a long-term development deal when a significant portion of their income must be returned to the shareholders.  Therefore, most of the development deals tend to be on the smaller size.  For example a shopping center REIT will re-develop an old bank on a PAD into a quick serve restaurant.

There are soooooo many institutional investors and their appetites change based on the then current market dynamics and / or equity partners they can bring on board for development.  Naming just 2 REITs isn\u2019t a fair comparison to all of the others. ", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
