Structuring Question

Assume the following -

Example - REIT A would like to buy REIT B with a $100M Market Cap. However, REIT A would only like to own up to 75% of REIT B and syndicate out the remaining $25M. Therefore, REIT A retains retains 75% ownership of REIT B and syndicates out the remaining 25% to REIT C. This scenario assumes that REIT A retains 75% of ownership shares of REIT B, which is a subsidiary, and REIT C acquires 25% of ownership shares of REIT B, which is co-owned with REIT A. Obviously this is somewhat complex and/or confusing so feel free to ask follow-up questions.

Questions - 1. Legally - (1) Are REITs allowed to do this?, (2) If so, are the any examples of REITs successfully doing this 2. From a Shareholder perspective - (1) Would this be viewed unfavorably by shareholders due to the added layers of complexity to the master REIT entity?
