Publicly traded real estate investment trusts have come back to the capital markets this year to raise new funds, a sign that REIT stock and debt offerings are in favor again with investors.

The $64.9 billion in total fundraising through the first three quarters has already exceeded the full amounts raised in each of the past two years, according to new data from the trade group Nareit.

Retail REITs accounted for the most money raised through the first three quarters, bringing in $6.93 billion. Single-tenant retail REIT Realty Income took $2.33 billion of that total. Data center REIT Digital Realty Trust though had the highest total raised by an individual REIT with $2.63 billion.
