Traditionally, you could comfortably pencil in Manhattan for the top spot in the US for cross-border investment on Real Capital Analytics' US Cross-Border investment Compendium.

But that changed in Q1 as Seattle (with an 11% YOY decline) took the top spot in the 12 months through Q1 2021, after moving up from the No. 2 spot last year. Manhattan (-79%) has slipped to the second position after occupying the top slot in 2020. San Francisco (-28%) remained in the third spot. Chicago (+28%), which was No. 6 last year, moved into the fourth spot. Dallas (-46%) dropped from No. 4 to No. 5.

Atlanta (-34%) also dropped a spot—from No. 5 to No. 6. Los Angeles (-69) held onto the No. 7 spot, while Phoenix (+7%) retained the No. 8 slot. Boston (-20%) moved up from No. 10 in 2020 to No. 9 this year. San Jose (+6) had a large jump—moving from No. 19 in 2020 to No. 10 this year.
