Mostly single assets or portfolio acquisitions. Blackstone is the only only one i can think of that does a lot of REIT take-privates but I'm sure there are others. You have to have a ton of capital available to do that strategy. For that strategy to make sense either they think that the collective value of the individual assets is higher than the value of the REIT on the public market (ex. Equity Office) or that plus they want to enter/gain market share in a strategy via an established platform (ex Biomed).
