The CEO of Embassy REIT Mike Holland said that they appreciated the staggering support which they received from the new global and domestic institutional investors along with the support of their existing investors, during their first-ever institutional placement. During the ongoing pandemic and the myriad of market uncertainties, the strong demand for their offering was a demonstration of the trust in the inorganic growth strategy of the Embassy's REIT. Embassy TechVillage’s quality assets were one of the major reasons for the inorganic growth of the company.
