Cap rates for retail properties remained unchanged at 6.5% in Q3 2014, while office cap rates compressed by 37 basis points to 7.4% and industrial rates rose slightly to 8%. The supply of office and industrial properties for sale increased by 30% and 21% respectively, as owners sought to capitalize on strong demand for net lease assets. Demand for net lease properties is expected to continue as investors are attracted to the stable cash flows, though some may wait to see how the dollar store sector consolidates in light of the potential Family Dollar acquisition.
