Summary
Institutional Real Estate, Inc. (IREI) has published a piece titled "Blurred lines" that frames a growing overlap between real estate and infrastructure as institutional investment categories. The firm states that it is "seeing a deep convergence between the real estate and infrastructure asset classes," which it attributes to several drivers. The available excerpt cuts off before those drivers are itemized, so their specifics cannot be confirmed from this source.

IREI describes itself as an information company providing real estate and infrastructure investment fiduciaries with information and insights on the people, issues, and events shaping the global marketplace. Its offerings include six regular news publications, special reports and directories, an events division launched in 2006 (including its Visions, Insights & Perspectives conferences and IREI Springboard), and a consulting practice that advises investment managers, brokers, developers, and technology firms. The company is headquartered at 2010 Crow Canyon Place in San Ramon, California.

Named employees on the firm's profile include Michael McGowan, Eric J. Kim, Ed O'Farrell, and Troy March. The publisher's site also references related editorial content, including an "In Focus" discussion with Scott Crowe on blurred office space, which connects to the same theme of shifting boundaries between property sectors.
