Global investment flows have always been a mainstay of the commercial real estate industry. Investors from countries such as China, Germany, the UK and Korea have steadily invested in US real estate assets for decades, normally keeping to the gateway markets and trophy assets. In recent years, however, a shift has been happening: these investors are increasingly seeking out new markets and different types of assets, some of which are value add plays. Likewise US investors, many of which are increasingly looking for yield beyond borders in such regions as Continental Europe and Asia.

As these institutional players drill down deeper into the commercial real estate asset stack, GlobeSt.com Events is answering the call for information about these global transactions. We are launching our inaugural Global CRE Investor Forum this Oct 21-23 at the Evian Resort in Evian les-Bains, France, on the south shore of Lake Geneva.
