Investment Management & Real Estate

Never before has the investment management industry been more globally focused -- due in large part to emerging capital markets, pension reform, tremendous advances in technology, and increasing deregulation. It is no longer enough to focus on the terms, attributes, or distribution strategies of your products and services on just one market.

 

Recent months have seen dramatic changes in the global real estate marketplace - in terms of economic fluctuations, new forms and levels of risk, market demand, evolving financial structures and types of investors. As property companies and institutional investors deal with this "brave new world" of real estate, they face a diverse array of challenges and concerns with which our global network of real estate professionals can assist you.

 

The Romanian real estate market has seen rapid development in the past years. Large pools of investment money are looking for opportunities. Development continues in all segments – office, retail, industrial, logistics and residential – to meet this demand. EU entry will provide great opportunities for these trends to continue. There are also new types of transactions and financing methods to consider.

 

Our experienced real estate team can advise you in all areas of acquisition, development, financing, evaluation and management of real estate and construction in order to help you optimise the value of transactions and processes.
