The intention of this book is to provide an insight in the Pan-European Real
Estate Investment scene. In order to point out the special aspects of this topic,
the theoretical introduction about the Real Estate market in general and
its particularities is supplemented with the analysis of a current Investment
vehicle. In this context, the focus lies on the examination of prevailing and future
market opportunities and the execution of convenient Investment strategies
that are customised on Pan-European markets. Institutional investing has
become increasingly important what involves that Real Estate as an asset category
has become more and more interesting for prospective investors -
whether direct or indirect. In times of increasing internationalisation, the intention
of this book is to illustrate the Pan-European relations and
collaboration. Accordingly, the book concentrates on Pan-European
Investment that became very attractive for investors within the last few years
and will have great impact on the future Investment market. In this context,
the book deals with a Closed-end Fund which is specialised on Cross-border
Investment and Real Estate Externalisation by custom tailored sale-and
leaseback transactions. This Fund was chosen due to the current relation to
important market developments occurring with this specific outsourcing
phenomenon.
