A growing market
drives investors
to secondary cities
Although the principal focus remains on the cities of Madrid, Lisbon and Barcelona
and on prime product, the strong growth of the Iberian property market is now
starting to turn investor attention to secondary cities and alternative segments.
Indeed, this was one of the main conclusions reached in
the first Iberian Property Summit that, on 20 June, brought
together approximately 150 professionals from the interna-
tional real estate investment industry in London. The event’s
participants agreed that the volume of foreign capital aimed
for investment in the Iberian Peninsula’s property market
is expected to increase over upcoming months, and that
2017 will surpass the more than 10 billion euros invested in
commercial real estate last year.
Competition to purchase assets in the most consolidated
destinations also continues to increase, which is why inves-
tors are now directing their attention beyond core products
and destinations, with a growing focus on secondary cities
and alternative market segments.
Organised by Iberian Propertywith the dual purpose of pro-
viding the international investor community with reliable
information on the Iberian propertymarket, aswell as making
it easier for the industry’s main decision-makers to meet,
the event brought to the British capital representatives from
