The challenges to London’s top ranking in the global investment market will be revealed at EG’s second Global Real Estate Debate on Thursday.
A top-flight panel of global industry experts will share their thoughts on the threats to London’s title as real estate capital of the world as well as other cities in contention for its crown.
There is already industry chatter on the disruption an EU referendum could cause to capital flows and regular investment activity. Plus the increasingly economic clout of Asia’s major financial hubs could, it has been said, topple London from its pre-eminent position.
This debate, chaired by EG editor Damian Wild, will ask the panel: “Can London sustain its world-class reputation?”
Panellists include Stephen Down, head of central London and international investment, Savills; Mike Sales, managing director, Europe, TIAA Henderson; Ryan Prince, vice chairman, international, Realstar Group; Simon Price, partner, real estate, Linklaters; and Eric Kuhne, founder, Civic Arts/Eric R Kuhne & Associates.
The event, held in partnership with Savills and Linklaters, is the second in a series of Estates Gazette’s Global Real Estate Debates, following a debate in Dubai last year. Further debates will be held this year in Hong Kong, Germany and New York.
Global Real Estate Debate: London is a keynote session at LREF, and will start at 9.30am on 11 June. Look out in EG for full coverage, including a video and podcast. You can also follow the debate on Twitter at #LondonGRED.
