Real estate and REIT M&A remains in the doldrums, a condition that began with the collapse of the credit markets in the summer of 2007 and has persisted. Below we feature the only four deals in the sector larger than $500 million and involving a U.S. party since August 1, according to Dealogic. But things may be looking up; on February 16, Simon Property Group, Inc., made a $10 billion hostile bid for bankrupt mall operator General Growth Properties, Inc. The fate of the bid remained unresolved at press time.
