Since the global financial crisis (GFC), European real estate has played second fiddle to dominant U.S. markets. Global investors primarily used European investments for diversification rather than expecting to outperform a U.S. portfolio.

However, with the U.S. now charting a new course and facing new challenges, Europe may be ready for its moment to shine. Is this Europe’s real estate renaissance?

Key topics discussed include:

  1. Measured politics and thoughtful regulation
  2. Why the European economy appears to be on the right track
  3. Notable global capital flows
  4. Opportunistic entry points into the region
  5. Buoyant letting markets and positive returns
  6. The role of smaller to mid-sized investments
