Real Estate Investment Services
Real estate is an important asset class in today's investment
climate. Its stability, coupled with good medium- to
long-term returns, continues to attract investors of all kinds –
major corporations, pension funds and life companies, private
investors– from around the world. From the choice of
ownership vehicle and tax structure to concluding a successful
lease negotiation or disposal strategy, we provide practical advice
underpinned by an understanding that enhancing and protecting
income growth and capital value are key to investment success.
Our investor team draws on a wealth of experience, from
traditional property sales and purchases to indirect investments,
complex development fundings and international investments,
involving special purpose vehicles, limited partnerships and unit
trusts. Our departments can provide special advice on the
corporate, banking, tax and multi-jurisdictional aspects of these
transactions, as well as calling on our planning, environment and
construction teams to resolve issues. We are also one of the
world’s leaders in guiding our clients through the complexities of
investing in compliance with Shari’ah restrictions. And with
our firm’s tremendous experience in the energy sector, we are proud
to be one of the leaders in the international sustainability
movement for the built environment.
Crucially, we understand the real estate investment business and
the fundamental need of our clients to maintain and enhance income
growth and capital value, whatever the type of real estate
asset.
