At present, where the flow of capital seeks profitability in the real estate sector, at low or high risk according to one’s strategy, there is no doubt at all that the Iberian peninsular is becoming – and will be in the next few years – a first rate option for investors.
Spain and Portugal are stable, democratic countries, socially and economically advanced. The ‘game board’ has an area of almost 600,000 square kilometres, to which can be added approximately 95 million foreign tourists who visit this privileged region of South Western Europe. Although it is true that Spain has an advantage of five or six to one in this relationship, what is important is the sum of current realities and especially of potential.
The year 2016 will close with a total investment in Iberian real estate approximating 15,000 million euros and 2017 points to being another financial year in which both Portugal and Spain will be the focus for important world investors who, not on a few occasions, execute their investment decisions based on an Iberian context, common to both countries. Madrid, Barcelona, and Lisbon with their options for investment in offices, the high street, commercial centres, logistics, hotels and residential, are high on the investment agendas of the large funds and corporations.
The project Iberian.Property follows, exactly, this joint concept of cooperation for the common good. It is the fruit of a collaboration between two companies, one Portuguese (Vida Imobiliária) and one Spanish (Observatorio Inmobiliario), who have chosen to join forces, share knowledge and attitudes so that, not only Spanish and Portuguese investors, but the rest of the world, can know the opportunities and advantages of investing in Iberian real estate.
More precisely, and as we have said from the beginning, it is not easy from such a large volume of data, to find the useful, rigorous and trustworthy information on which investors rely to close deals. This is where Iberian.Property comes to the fore as an efficient information and international interconnecting tool for the reality and potential of Iberian real estate.
From today, we make a commitment to all those involved in this market to build bridges for information and business. We hope that you will join us in this initiative and, above all, will put all our efforts into being really useful.
