European Investment Briefing

Michael Haddock, Director, EMEA Research & Consulting
05/10/2010
Key themes for today’s market
The downturn was syncronised– the recovery is more uneven
Uncertainty is everywhere– not least in the economic outlook
Debt is available to buy commercial real estate– but only if you don’t need it
New allocations to real estate are coming at the
expense of bonds, not equities

Prime – secondary yield spread
Global Research and Consulting
Summary
Prime – Secondary dislocation is the key feature of
markets everywhere in Europe
Investors– Investment activity driven by risk averse institutional
style capital
– Lenders have no appetite for secondary either
Occupiers– Weak net absorption
– Uncertain economic outlook
– Any rental growth is due to lack of development activity
