International Commercial Real Estate
Most international commercial real estate transactions will take place between corporations and may involve, lead to or be a consequence of legal, design, urban planning, engineering, financing, and construction work. From a national government perspective, attracting foreign investment into real estate development projects can be a key priority for increasing country revenue and a key strategy for increasing the availability of national infrastructure and amenities.
Some of the factors leading to the growth in the international commercial real estate sector are:
- the post-war growth in urban development and infrastructure in both developed and developing nations;
- business' evolution toward multi-national business operations;
- the growth in international investment practices enabling investors to look outside their own countries for above average performing investments.

It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it.”
—Sherwin B. Nuland (b. 1930)
“Not a flock of wild geese cackles over our town, but it to some extent unsettles the value of real estate here, and, if I were a broker, I should probably take that disturbance into account.”
