With uncertainties still clouding global real estate transactions and investments, the counter cyclical living sector seems to still attract capital across Europe. But how will COVID’s impact play out on the living sectors’ asset classes? 

Looking at emerging demand drivers for sub sectors and space requirements, investment appetite across different assets and geographies, as well as cross border capital streams and potential repurposing opportunities for distressed assets to understand where the European multifamily, alternative living sectors & BTR markets are headed in 2021.

Join the global GRI eCommunity to discuss such challenges and opportunities through candid peer to peer discussions. Navigate the current challenges presented by Coronavirus recovery and real estate changing demands; especially cash flow, maintaining liquidity and landlord/tenant partnerships. Engage with c-level real estate leaders on what the best strategies are to advance new partnerships and find value across all living sector asset classes.
