Unlocking Alternatives: Investing Beyond the Major CRE Asset Type

ALTERNATIVE SECTORS TRANSACTION VOLUMES OVER TIME While total volume has slowed ($15.7B YTD ‘23 vs $41.8B YTD ‘22), alternatives remain at a resilient 10% of total volume—comparable to historical average

• Combined, alternatives represent a comparable size to that of the major asset types—historically hovering near retail but now surpassing both office and retail in total size. • While having fallen from record peaks in 2021 and 2022, the overall alternatives sector has remained relatively resilient to limited debt availability and cautious capital over the past year. • As a percentage of total transaction volume, alternatives have ranged from 9%-17% since 2020. Previously, alternatives made up 6%- 15% between 2017 to 2019. • The largest alternative sectors are in the residential space with student and senior / age-restricted routinely topping the list. • In recent years, self storage, R&D/life sciences and healthcare / MOB have seen significant growth.
