April 2016
The A-REIT sector is considered to be in good shape and continues to be supported with an average income growth of around 3%. Even though cap rates appear close to peak levels, assets continue to be in demand and we expect that A-REITs will persist in selling noncore assets with a view to funneling proceeds into higher yielding developments as opportunities arise.

In their place: dynamic, time-of-use pricing that changes depending on when power is consumed. Electricity is now cheapest when solar floods the grid in the middle of the day — and […]
