Aug 31, 2026 'Institutions Are Buying Real Estate,' Says Grant Cardone. He Asks, 'What Do … Neutral

🤖 AI Overview

Real estate investment trends are shifting, with institutional investors and luxury renters driving demand.

Institutional investors, like those mentioned by Grant Cardone, are actively buying real estate despite high prices and borrowing costs. This is evident in Skanska's recent investment of 260 million Swedish kronor in a residential project in Trondheim, Norway. Meanwhile, Manhattan's luxury rental market is booming, with units reaching $100,000 a month, driven by a surge in wealthy renters.

These trends impact real estate investment trusts (REITs) and residential developers. REITs like American Tower (AMT) and Equinix (EQIX), which own and operate real estate, may see increased demand for their services from institutional investors. Residential developers like Toll Brothers (TOL) and Lennar (LEN) could benefit from the luxury rental demand in markets like Manhattan.

Next, watch for Skanska's construction progress in Trondheim, Manhattan rental price trends, and earnings reports from REITs and residential developers to gauge the impact of these trends on their businesses.
