| Several planets have aligned since the fall of the Iron Curtain in the early 1990’s. The global real estate asset class has matured as stock market and fixed interest assets have lost their luster. An ageing and historically wealthy demographic in western nations have, since the dot.com flame out, been looking for investments that combine secure income returns with the added potential for capital growth. Real Estate Investment Funds from the USA have been unable to source sufficient AAA grade domestic real estate assets and have as a consequence driven down capitalization rates and rates of return on these investments. With the increasingly fluid and dynamic movements of global investment capital the relatively undervalued real estate assets in Central Europe have become attractive to American investors and fund managers.
A panel of senior real estate investment executives will examine the American perspective on Central European Property Investment. What are the factors fueling this flow of capital investment? Will it continue and if so at what rate? Which Central European countries have taken the necessary steps to lower the barriers to entry on matters such as foreign investment deregulation, taxation and retirement income, transparent legal structures, security of leases, and timely repatriation of returns?
