Investing in Office Buildings

July 23rd, 2011

When investing in office buildings, there are two different ways that people typically refer to the office space. Which is by the way it was constructed, and its class. Although a building’s class is far more important, you’ll hear more conversation about how office buildings are constructed, specifically whether they are constructed as:

• High-rise
• Mid-rise
• Low-rise
• Garden office

These categories are based on structure. Your location determines how a building is categorized. For instance, if you are in Orlando, Florida, a high-rise structure may be 30 stories, but if you’re in New York City, it would be 80 to 100 stories. Similarly, a mid-rise in Orlando would possibly be three or four stories, while a low-rise would be one or two stories.

In New York City, the two buildings that came down on 9/11 in the World Trade Center were part of a complex of seven buildings. The day after 9/11, the building that was nearest to Number Two Tower had been partially burned and sustained a lot of heat damage. The authorities feared that it might collapse. The media kept referring to it as the mid-rise building next door to Tower Number 2, although it was 50 stories. However, if you were in Bozeman, Montana, you wouldn’t call it that, since they call a two-story building a high-rise. » Read more: Investing in Office Buildings

Retail Investment in Brazil Tops Index

July 23rd, 2011

When it comes to retail investment, Brazil has the highest market potential among 30 developing countries. And investment in Latin America retail opportunities dominates the rankings. AT Kearney’s annual Global Retail Development Index is topped by Brazil with Uruguay and Chile in second and third places. This dominance of Latin American investment in retail indicates the potential to be found in the continent.

The 2011 Index reflects the change in global investment direction over the last year. The Index reports that “developing markets now drive the agenda in global arenas” with a clear advantage for South America. Continued growth and “lack of investment fatigue” has made investment in Latin America a favourite with retailers.

Brazil is Best Retail Investment

Brazilian investment tops the Index, a climb of four places from the 2010 edition and an impressive hike from the bottom of the first Index in 2002 when Brazil ranked in 30th position. For AT Kearney, retail investment in Brazil is backed by an expected GDP growth of 5% over the next few years, a “large and mostly urban population” and massive retail sales. The forthcoming sporting events are highly influential in so many areas for investment in Brazil and retail investment is no exception. AT Kearney cites the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics are two factors behind retail potential because of the significant investment in Brazil planned for both events. The Index notes that retail investment in Brazil “is on the rise”, driven by strong consumer demand and high spending. Several prominent foreign brands are about to move into Brazil such as Debenhams, H&M and Topshop while Burberry entered Brazil last year. » Read more: Retail Investment in Brazil Tops Index
