Real estate investment in 2012: another good year?
The total volume of real estate investments in the Czech Republic last year amounted to EUR 2.07 billion – it was the second most successful year in the modern history of Czech commercial property market. At Jones Lang LaSalle, they expect that this year will also be good in the Czech Republic from this perspective. “The main factor affecting the real estate market in 2012 will be the situation in the banking market and the ability of banks to finance new projects and refinance existing loans. The year 2011 in the Czech market was characterized by an influx of new investors – capital came from Canada or Korea. Thanks to the great interest of investors in the Czech Republic, we expect this trend to continue this year. At the end of last year, there was also investment by Qatar Holding in Warsaw, providing further evidence that Central Europe is interesting and attractive for capital from the Middle East. Assuming that the economic situation and the banking sector will remain relatively stable, we expect reasonable investment activity,” says George Lewis JLLS.
