Market  Opportunity  Real  Estate  market  in  Europe  comprises  40%  of  the  world  total.  Currently,  prices  in  certain  areas  are  at  a  historic  record  low.  For  Investors,  some  countries  represent  a  safe  heaven  while  others  mean  a  big  opportunity,  but  for  those  specialized  buyers  with  strong  local  knowledge.  

Why  Real  Estate?  Real  Estate  financing   is  shi/ing,  with  the  majority  of  European  Real  Estate   investors  predic<ng  a  shi/  from  tradi<onal  bank  lending  to  other  sources  of  capital.  “There  is  a  change  in  percep<on  that  is  likely  to  boost  sen<ment.    

Why  Europe?  The  Eurozone  sovereign  debt  crisis,  which  was  previously  seen  as  undermining  real  estate  investment,  is  now  viewed  as  a  poten<al  s<mulus  for  ac<vity.”*  The  absence  of  an  Euro  breakup,  a  historically  low  prices  and  recent  changes   in  regula<ons   is  making  Europe  a  prime  investment  op8on  in  Real  Estate.  

Why  now?    The  Real  Estate  yield  gap  between  European  Core  markets  and  Peripherals  is  now  at  PRE-­‐EURO  levels.  Core   Markets   are   facing   a   steady   price   recovery,   mainly   in   the   Commercial   Real   Estate   market.  Interna<onal   Investors   are   increasingly   ac<ve   in   core   ci<es   but   with   an   increasing   appe<te   for   the  peripherals,  mainly  due  to  the  combina<on  of  high  yield  (currently  at  EM  levels)  and  lower  risk.    

2013-­‐2014  forecast.    The  European  office  market   is  seeing  a  recovery   in  confidence,  with  aLrac<ve  yields  during  the   laLer  half  of  2013.  Also,   there  are   incen<ves   for   the  best   space  gradually  being  scaled  back,  an   increase   in  demand  during   2014   for   primary  markets,   and   a   stabiliza<on   in   those  markets  most   affected   by   the  euro  zone  crisis.  (Source:  Cushman  &  Wakefield)

Current  Situa8on  The  general  business  environment  has  changed  posi<vely  for  Europe.  For  some  of  the  Big  Four  advisors,  Europe  has  started  the  path  of  recovery.  Besides  there  is  a  way  to  go,  Europe  is  “at  the  start  of  the  second  act”*.    

As  a  consequence  of  the  current  crisis,  the  market  has  changed.  Nowadays,  capital  con<nues  being  global  but  returns  required  local  specializa<on  and  exper<se.  “…AccepAng  more  risk  requires  more  rigour  –  and  this  is  where  those  who  are  specialized,  who  have  detailed  local  knowledge,  and  who  can  create  networks  in  regional  markets  will  prosper.”*    

Core  markets  in  Europe,  such  as  London,  Paris,  Nordics  and  Germany,  are  in  the  spotlight  this  year.  However,  Southern  Europe  (Dublin,  Madrid,  Barcelona,  Lisbon,  and  Milano)  have  also  captured  aLen<on.  Investors  are  taking  posi<ons  and  preparing  their  structures  to  be  ready,  expec<ng  for  a  2H  2013  &  2014  with  an  vigorous  deal  flow.  “Banks  were  holding  on  to  in  the  hope  of  a  value  recovery,  but  now  assets  are  being  more  aMracAvely  priced  “*
