Prologis has agreed to acquire SEGRO plc in a recommended all-share (with partial cash alternative) transaction valuing SEGRO at approximately $18.8 billion, structured as a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement, with SEGRO shareholders receiving 0.0920 new Prologis shares per share. The combination creates a global platform with ~$269 billion in assets under management and expands Prologis' European portfolio by 47% to 368 million square feet. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to SEGRO shareholder approval, court sanction, and regulatory approvals.
H&R REIT is being acquired in a $6.7 billion transaction (~$3.4 billion equity value), with its assets split among GO Residential REIT and a consortium including Blackstone, Crestpoint, PSP Investments, and CRAL. H&R unitholders will receive $4.28 cash plus 0.5688 GO REIT units per unit — $12.01 per unit total, a 14.5% premium — leaving them with roughly 66.9% ownership of the combined GO REIT, a pure-play residential platform. The deal is expected to close in Q4 2026, subject to unitholder, court, and regulatory approvals.
Safe Harbor Marinas, a Blackstone Infrastructure portfolio company, will acquire MarineMax in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion enterprise value, with MarineMax shareholders receiving $53.00 per share — a 96% premium to the pre-announcement closing price. The deal follows a competitive strategic review process led by MarineMax's Board and will take MarineMax private, delisting it from the NYSE upon closing. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals, and is not subject to a financing condition.
Scentre Group has agreed to sell a 50% interest in Westfield Mt Gravatt, Brisbane, to Australian Retirement Trust for $882.5 million, comprising $870.0 million for the property interest (at a 5.50% capitalisation rate) and $12.5 million for adjacent land, representing a 3.5% premium to December 2025 book values. Scentre Group will retain its remaining 50% stake and continue as property, leasing, and development manager, with the deal forming part of a broader capital-partnering strategy that has brought roughly $3.1 billion in third-party capital into the Group over the past 13 months. The transaction is subject to ACCC clearance.

The portfolio totals roughly 4 million square feet of existing multifamily, retail, healthcare, and industrial buildings plus about 300 acres of development sites, anchored by iPark 84 — a 270-acre former IBM semiconductor manufacturing campus in East Fishkill, N.Y. capable of supporting 1.5 million square feet of additional development — alongside assets in Edgewater, N.J., Norwalk, Conn., and Yonkers, N.Y.

SparrowHawk has acquired a 20-property, 4.4 million-square-foot industrial portfolio across six Midwest markets (St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Louisville) from seller EQT for just under $400 million — the firm's largest deal to date. The acquisition follows a $300 million growth capital commitment from Almanac Realty Partners and two prior 2025–2026 acquisitions, bringing SparrowHawk's assets under management to over $1.0 billion. The transaction has already closed.
Bluerock, led by Ramin Kamfar, has acquired the office property at 1133 Innovation Way in Sunnyvale, CA — Hewlett Packard Enterprise's headquarters — for $330.8 million in a sale-leaseback transaction, with $310 million in acquisition financing secured. HPE will remain as tenant through at least 2047, with options to extend by up to another 14 years, allowing the company to continue operations at the site while Bluerock adds the asset to its portfolio.
Meadow Partners has acquired 10 East 53rd Street, a 37-story, 385,224-square-foot Class A office tower in Manhattan's Plaza District, from SL Green Realty for $312.2 million, with Newmark arranging $155 million in acquisition financing through Corebridge. The 92%-leased building, anchored by tenants including Equinox, Magnetar, and Ermenegildo Zegna, generates approximately $100 million in net proceeds for SL Green earmarked for corporate debt repayment, advancing the company's $2.5 billion 2026 strategic disposition plan. The transaction was expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
Eldridge Capital Management has provided a $278 million loan to refinance Ten Twenty Spring, a 540,000-square-foot, 25-story Class A office tower in Atlanta's Midtown district owned by Portman and funds affiliated with Blackstone Real Estate. The property, which Eldridge has supported since construction, has attracted notable tenants including Ernst & Young, Reed Smith, and Pinnacle Financial Partners (which is establishing its new headquarters across five floors), and features market-leading amenities such as private office terraces and rooftop dining. No closing conditions or timeline were specified, as this is a refinancing rather than a sale transaction.
