In 2003 there were just 14 equity issues from the real estate sector, raising €787 million. The value of deals more than quadrupled in 2004 to €3.4 billion through 37 deals, and then almost tripled in 2005 to reach €9.3 billion, through 89 deals.
Already this year 11 deals have raised €1.1 billion and bankers say the pipeline is much fuller than it was this time last year. “We expect to see an even greater volume of deals in 2006,” says David Weaver, co-head of European equity capital markets at Deutsche Bank.
