Looking Forward: A Global View on Real Estate Investment Opportunities in 2022
In January 2021 many of us were expecting a return to some type of “normal.” We anticipated widespread and rapid application of vaccines to fight Covid, a change in Administration, and eventually, a rebounding economy. By some measures, 2021 did not meet expectations. The economy took off and we seem to be uncomfortably co-existing with Covid, all while low interest rates and the “wall of capital’ inspired eye-popping returns for commercial real estate investments.
This year we welcome Amy Price, President of rapidly-growing BentallGreenOak, to share her market insights and outlook for 2022. In late 2018, Amy pursued a merger of her firm, Bentall Kennedy, and GreenOak, with former Morgan Stanley colleagues, to form a global investment platform. BGO is now among the top 30 investment managers globally, with investments in North America, Europe and Asia. Amy will provide her view on inflation and interest rates, where she sees opportunity and how BGO views the “deurbanization” of primary and secondary markets. BGO is among the industry leaders in Environmental, Social and Governance practices so we can expect to hear the latest on evaluating investment decisions through the ESG lens.
LAI member Mary Corley, Rosen Consulting Group, will lead the discussion.
Free for members. Members may invite up to two guests.
