September 14, 2021 | James Sprow | Blue Vault

Blue Vault received August sales totals for 10 effective nontraded REIT program offerings as of September 10, 2021. Sales reported by those 10 NTRs totaled $496.3 million compared to $390.5 million for the 10 reporting REITs in July, an increase of $105.8 million, or 27.1%. Blackstone REIT, the largest nontraded REIT with $48.0 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2021, did not report their sales to Blue Vault.  That REIT’s total net asset value totaled $35.0 billion as of July 31, 2021, and its net asset value per share had increased to $12.90 as of that date from $11.55 as of December 31, 2020, for Class I shares. Six additional nontraded REITs have previously suspended their offerings or did not report sales for August (Cottonwood Communities, Griffin Realty Trust, Moody National REIT II, Oaktree REIT, and Strategic Student & Senior Housing Trust).

Black Creek Industrial REIT IV’s offering again led the 10 reporting NTRs with sales of $148.22 million, up 6.3% from $139.46 million in July. FS Credit Real Estate Income Trust raised $127.21 million, up 78.4% from July’s $71.29 million. Nuveen Global Cities REIT raised $72.70 million in August, up 25.6% from $57.89 million in July. Hines Global Income Trust raised $47.01 million, up 8.9% from $43.15 million in June. Jones Lang LaSalle Income Property Trust raised $44.73 million, up 8.6% from July when it raised $41.17 million. All sales reported include distributions reinvested in shares of the REIT (DRIP).

Nontraded Preferred Stock Issued by Reporting Sponsors

Five listed REITs reported their nontraded preferred stock issuances in August 2021 to Blue Vault. The five listed REITs reported total sales of nontraded preferred in August of $73.60 million, down 70.1% from $251.48 million in July. Prospect Capital reported $150 million raised by PSEC A in July which caused the August totals by comparison to fall significantly.

Bluerock Residential Growth REIT issued $35.35 million of its preferred stock in August, down 16.1%% from $43.31 million in July.
