In 2021, Acorn made news for another capital market first – launching two real estate investment trusts (REITs) that act as a ‘virtuous self-financing cycle’ – with the development or “D-REIT” acquiring land and developing new housing, and the investment or “I-IREIT” buying the operational asset as a long-term investment, thereby replenishing the D-REIT to go and buy more land and build more housing. The D-REIT was the first REIT of its kind in the world, as well as being the first student accommodation REIT in Africa and the first to issue on the OTC segment of the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
