UI Insight #2 Magazine

On the US and UK real estate markets, light industrial properties are nothing exotic but have been established for a long time and remain a popular investment objective then as now. The German “Unternehmensimmobilien” category of multi-use and multi-let commercial real estate has caught up lately, and the massive portfolio acquisitions by foreign investors as well as the steadily hardening cap rates suggest as much.

These are the key findings of the second issue of the magazine UI Insight #2 with its focus topic of „Germany in the Focus of Foreign Investors“.

From the content:

• Alistair Marks, Chief Financial Officer of Sirius, writes about the potential of the asset class corporate real estate for domestic and foreign investors
• Analytics: German corporate real estate in a global context
• Martin Czaja, spokesman for the board of BEOS AG, talks about business with international investors
