REIT and InvIT IPOs Progress Amid Market Volatility; Office Leasing Faces Demand Uncertainty

Several new IPOs, including Cube Highways and Horizon Parks, are planned this year. Meanwhile, office space leasing by REITs remains strong with occupancy rates above 90%, though geopolitical tensions and renewed work-from-home trends following government appeals may affect future demand and leasing activity.
