While the COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the investment sales market, some commercial properties still traded hands in the first half of 2020. And certain companies have been on the front lines of acquisitions, not surprisingly focusing on more pandemic-resistant asset classes, including industrial and single-family rentals.
