Feeling the call of the beach and the wind? Why not head to the South of France to visit the world’s biggest property market?Frauke Oddone, Alison Macleod, Emmanuelle Ramponi, Eric Wilhelm, Antoine Badot, Sandrine Degreve, Vincenzo Salari and I, all experienced real estate practitioners from KPMG Luxembourg, will be at MIPIM 2015 (the world’s biggest property market), an event where the entire real estate sector will gather together in one location, taking place in Cannes, France, from 10 to 13 March 2015.
Why Luxembourg at MIPIM?
The event offers a wide variety of conferences, debates and discussions about the latest trends (market orientation and analysis) in the real estate industry. Together with our KPMG network colleagues, our KPMG experts will be on site.
“Luxembourg – the ideal platform for international real estate investments”
Luxembourg has always been outstanding at structuring Real Estate investments and it still remains as attractive today as it used to be for those looking for a hub for their real estate activities. We have a good balance between facilitating investment structures and organizing fund set-ups. The growth in the number of real estate investment vehicles set up in Luxembourg has outpaced the European average and makes Luxembourg one of the best choices for running real estate funds.
Investing in SPPICAV and SOCIMI from Luxembourg: the clear choice
The ever increasing popularity of REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) – such as the Spanish SOCIMI – and of non-listed real estate collective investment schemes -such as the French SPPICAV – demonstrates the growing demand for flexible and tax efficient vehicles for investing in real estate.
The favorable legal and tax framework provided by the SPPICAV and SOCIMI regimes for real estate investments in France and Spain respectively, combined with the large selection of investment vehicles offered in Luxembourg (acting as a hub for cross-border holding and financing of real estate activities) accommodate the strategies pursued by initiators and definitely offer a unique product opportunity and tailor-made solution to all types of real estate market participants.
What’s on the agenda at MIPIM?
Innovation and emerging trends in the real estate industry are the focus of this year’s conference. Other hot topics will also be on top of the agenda – digital real estate, the modification of the Luxembourg-France Double Tax Treaty, megatrends, German market aspects, activity around debt products, risk assessment in the frame of AIFMD, and a lot more.
In the coming days, we will cover a few of these hot topics in forthcoming blogs. Stay tuned!
