The Future of Real Estate Global Agenda Council

In recent years, real estate investment, development and operations have become an increasingly global proposition. In keeping with trends underway in the broader global economy, a growing number of real estate businesses operate regularly across a multitude of borders, but still must think and act locally to prosper. A majority of real estate firms do not operate now and may never operate on a multinational basis, but they still do benefit regularly from the importation of value-added know-how, practices and skills, as well as from the provision of capital and credit sourced away from home territory.

In light of the many challenges and opportunities presented today by the increasingly global nature of the financial, service and supply structures tied to the real estate sector, the Global Agenda Council is dedicated to the development of constructive dialogue about key policy and practice issues among key actors in the world of real estate. Chief among these issues are fast-rising questions about the provision of capital and credit through the securitization of debt and equity; the creation and implementation of sustainable development and operating practices; the employment of  business practices consonant with social responsibility; and the production of an appropriate supply of buildings and infrastructure to house each nation’s and the world’s economy.
