Commercial real estate investment activity is gaining momentum.

Q1 2025 investment volume rose 14% year-over-year to $88 billion, according to CBRE. A few standout trends:

  • Single-asset transactions grew 23% to $68 billion
  • Portfolio sales jumped 49% to $17 billion
  • Trailing one-year investment volume reached $408 billion – its highest level since 2023

We believe this resurgence is a positive sign for the asset class. Increased transaction activity suggests a more engaged market, improved price discovery and growing investor confidence – factors that support long-term investment in private real estate.
