REIT Winners And Losers: January's Trends Reshaping 2025

The U.S. office real estate market has struggled in recent years as the COVID-19 pandemic drove companies to shift to remote work. While <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43218904/remote-work-vs-return-to-office-can-veevas-flexibility-outshine-jpmorgans-office-mandate">return-to-office orders at some companies</a> have increased office activity in recent months, the value of office real estate is still greatly diminished. Meanwhile, a residential housing shortage has created heightened demand for apartments.
A solution enacted by several office developers is to convert office space into apartments. While the process is costly and complex due to city zoning, plumbing and utilities, more offices are being converted than ever, according to ResiClub.
In the U.S., 70,700 apartments will be created due to office conversions in 2025. In 2021, only 12,100 units were in the pipeline to be converted from offices to apartments, representing an increase in almost 500%.

Conversions are concentrated in highly-dense, large U.S. cities. The office-to-apartment pipeline in New York City numbers 8,310 units; Washington D.C. and Los Angeles trail close behind at 6,533 and 4,388 units, respectively. All three cities have faced skyrocketing housing prices tied to a lack of supply.
Other building types being converted to apartments include hotels, factories and warehouses.
Office-to-residential conversions comprise only a portion of the new housing units in major U.S. cities. Only 3,709 were actually converted in 2024, paling in comparison to the nearly 600,000 total new units across the U.S., <a href="https://alndata.com/year-in-review-2024-new-supply/#:~:text=National%20New%20Deliveries,itself%20been%20a%20huge%20total.">according</a> to ALN Data. 
Often, it costs more to convert an office to an apartment complex than to build a brand new residential building on its own.
BXP Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BXP#NYSE">BXP</a>), SL Green Realty Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLG#NYSE">SLG</a>) and Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNO#NYSE">VNO</a>) are among the publicly-traded office REITs with a presence in the New York market.

<h3>The Relevance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
Delving into transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> typically prioritize those unfolding in the open market, as precisely outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

BXP's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BXP#NYSE">BXP</a>) short percent of float has risen 19.65% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 8.74 million shares sold short, which is 7.55% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.9 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>BXP Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738082710_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for BXP has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing BXP's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, BXP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.61%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing BXP's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, BXP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.86%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
