RICS / Lucerne University webinar on “Impact of Megatrends on the Development of City Centers and Investment Opportunities: Empirical Results and New Ways of Financing” 

When: Wednesday, 2 March 2022, at 13.00 CET (to 14:15 CET)

The impact of megatrends on European city centers is widely discussed and will change demand for and use of real estate. At the same time, it is more and more difficult for (institutional) investors to find targeting investment opportunities in real estate. Therefore, structured analyses of current and future investments, risks and opportunities need to be evaluated as well as (new) financing structures. Hereby, we invite you to join presentations of renowned speakers as well as to discuss current developments:

• - How do megatrends impact investment risks and opportunities in European cities?

• - What are latest empirical results and what are lessons learnt?

• - Where are interesting locations and how to select targeting properties?

• - How to implement better financing structures and what are the possibilities of mezzanine capital?

• - What are targeting strategies for real estate investors?

•
