International commercial real estate

Most international commercial real estate transactions take place between corporations and may involve, lead to, or be a consequence of legal, design, urban planning, engineering, financing, and construction work. From a national government perspective, attracting foreign investment into real estate development projects can be a key priority for increasing country revenue and a key strategy for increasing the availability of
national infrastructure and amenities.

Some of the factors leading to the growth in the international commercial real estate sector are:

• the post-war growth in urban development and infrastructure in both developed and developing nations;
• business' evolution toward multi-national business operations;
• the growth in international investment practices enabling investors to look outside their own countries for above average performing investments.

The Institutions of Globalization:

International capital market integration requires institutional help, both through the emergence of investment products catering to international investors, and through reliable information sources that make markets more transparent. The development of public equity and debt real estate market makes it much easier for investors to allocate significant amount of money outside their home market. The overall growth of the global property share market is helped by the proliferation of tax pass-through structures all over the world. The success of the U.S. REIT market has prompted regulators in many countries to introduce similar-but different named structures. REITs are an important development in the internationalization of property markets.
