Rental	REIT proliferation; institutional yield-seeking; longer weighted-average lease expiries

Sales transactions lead in value terms, driven by high-net-worth investors purchasing individual commercial units. The rental segment is growing faster as REIT structures and fractional-ownership platforms attract institutional and retail capital into lease-based assets.
