The broader commercial real estate (CRE) market, which BrightSpire Capital, Inc. operates within, exhibits some seasonal trends. CRE volumes typically see an increase in the final quarter of the year. Generally, deal activity in the real estate market tends to rise in the first half of the year, reaching a peak in late spring, then experiences a slowdown after Memorial Day, before picking up again in September. For triple net lease properties, a key product for BrightSpire Capital, the value is largely tied to the long-term lease agreements and their built-in rent escalations, which can be annual or occur every few years, making the demand for these specific investment products less directly impacted by short-term seasonal fluctuations compared to other real estate segments.
