Real estate is driven by the needs of companies across all other sectors. Macro trends have a resulting impact on the space that people and companies require.
The industry has seen high levels of capital allocated to real estate investment. With increased competition, many investors have diversified. Others have deployed their capital across expanding geographies and asset uses. ‘Alternative’ assets are now mainstream. And many investors now invest and operate across various asset classes. Risks such as regulation, taxation and political influence affect investment vehicle structures. These remain an ongoing consideration in strategic planning.
