More commercial real estate firms are widening their offerings and service lines due to an uptick in mergers and acquisitions. At the midpoint of 2021, 16 M&A transactions in real estate were announced — a 45% increase from a year prior and on track to be a record year, according to New York-based real estate advisory firm Hodes Weill & Associates. Most of the activity is due to commercial real estate firms trying to capitalize on property sectors as well as diversifying what they can do as a firm. This is significant because firms are coming together to broaden their offerings. For example, a firm that specializes in brokerage services but maybe isn't up to date with life sciences, can now team up and come together to cover all bases of real estate. This suggests that more mergers and acquisitions are to come in the future and more conversations are going to be had about the possibility of coming together to cover a larger cause.
