In the current environment, it is possible that Retail REIT companies with capital flexibility will seek out distressed properties and make acquisitions if they can get attractive prices. Still, after the economic downturn put many of the over-leveraged out of business, companies may be more cautious.
Meanwhile, companies with exposure in the apartment sector have benefited strongly from a secular shift towards renting as owning a home became either difficult or an unattractive prospect during the downturn.
