Ben Brown, Brookfield’s Real Estate Chief, On REITs, Housing, Office and Hospitality
Ben Brown, co-president and head of real estate in the Americas for Brookfield, discusses the company's aggressive acquisition and disposition activity, noting that Brookfield has executed approximately $9 billion in credit originations, $21.5 billion in equity dispositions, and $32.3 billion in acquisitions over the past 18 months while raising $13.2 billion in new capital.
