Latin America’s greater economic and political stability is catching the eyes of investors, as Stephanie Schwartz-Driver reports
As some real estate markets struggle to shake off the effects of the crisis, Latin American markets seem to be emerging stronger than ever. As investors realise the benefits of looking at the region, they are also recognising the differences between the various markets.
The Spring 2010 Global Commercial Property Survey from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors found that one of the “clear leaders in the real estate cycle” was Latin America. This is true from both investor and occupier perspectives. Rent expectations in Brazil topped the global tables, reaching their highest level since the first quarter of 2008. According to the survey, Brazil “was one of the few that did not see a further rise in available space in the first three months of the year and actually reported a drop in the level of inducement on offer to tenants.”
