With 13 separate national frameworks, the fragmentation of #REIT regimes in the EU creates barriers to cross-border investments, restricting the flow of capital toward key assets and limiting their availability to the real economy. EPRA has long been an advocate for greater harmonisation and took the opportunity to reiterate this message in the European Commission’s recent call for evidence for the Single Market Strategy 2025, a key document aimed at driving action in the upcoming mandate to revitalise the EU Single Market. EPRA encourages the inclusion of an action point in the upcoming Single Market Strategy, in which the Commission calls for harmonising the fragmented EU REIT regimes and encourages Member States to promote mutual recognition of the different REIT frameworks across the EU. This will facilitate further cross-border investments, strengthen capital markets for long-term investments, and enhance the EU’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy by ensuring the availability of key real assets to the EU economy.

The European Central Bank just announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut, its fifth one since the central bank began easing monetary policy in June last year. This is very timely and brings renewed optimism to the listed real estate (LRE) sector, a key beneficiary of lower marginal borrowing costs. Under this new dynamic of interest rates, the cost of debt becomes a key variable to analyze. Read more about this and EPRA's related research in our latest blog entry by David Moreno, CFA.

Exciting news! A few years ago, I decided to finally write my book, and now the moment has arrived! Real Estate Rules is the title, and it perfectly captures what the book is about. It contains all the experiences I’ve gained in the European real estate market, particularly in the listed space. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in the world of real estate! For 25 years, I’ve been collecting boxes filled with articles, anecdotes, and research—all with the dream of writing this book. It’s astonishing how little has been written about the listed European real estate market, an industry full of dynamic personalities and untapped opportunities. In a world focused on tech and AI, this segment of the stock market is currently overlooked and underappreciated, with many companies trading at decade-long lows and full of potential. Good money can be made in this space if property fundamentals are strong, leverage is used wisely, and management teams are properly incentivized and add value. But if these elements are not in place, companies can quickly spiral downward, often at a great cost. In Real Estate Rules, I share 20 golden rules for navigating and thriving in this fascinating market. Drawing on my 25 years of experience, the book combines practical lessons, intriguing anecdotes, real-life case studies (such as Adler Group, intu, and URW), along with insights from industry legends. I hope you find it both enlightening and enjoyable! Let me know your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to read it, and please leave a review! My book, Real Estate Rules, is now available for pre-order on websites such as Amazon and Wiley.com. https://lnkd.in/exemU8_y https://lnkd.in/ewy66Tdd

Are you ready for the next REEB Insights report? 💧 This time, we’re turning our attention to water. Commercial real estate consumes significant volumes of water daily, yet the sector lacks robust benchmarks to define what ‘good’ looks like. Our upcoming REEB Insight delves into water benchmarks, sharing the latest values from our Real Estate Environmental Benchmark (REEB) and insights from key industry bodies such as EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association), Urban Land Institute Greenprint, and NABERS UK. Stay tuned to discover how better data can help the sector prioritise and improve water use.

How are #offices scaling the value chain? The Iberian REIT & Listed Conference 2025 is set to host Carlos Krohmer, Chief Corporate Development Officer at Inmobiliaria Colonial, who will deliver a keynote speech on how to add value to bricks through transformation of #assets and complementary uses. At the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Colonial Group's office #occupancy reached 96%, among the highest in the sector.  In terms of new use cases for office assets, in October 2024, Colonial partnered with Sanitas and Mapfre to #transform a former office building in Barcelona's 22@ district into the Hospital Marina, a healthcare facility with over 120 beds, scheduled to open in 2027. Join Iberian Property and EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) on the 6th of February to learn more about strategic #repurposing and how listed real estate companies are leading the transformation of assets. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/d_kztfbH
