2006 Investment Liquidity Projections

If you thought 2005 was a banner year for investment sales, brace yourself for the eleven-digit sequel. Atlanta based Kinglsey & Associates projects that U.S. pension funds will invest roughly $59 billion into commercial real estate this year. Meanwhile, foreign investors - bent on parking their capital in U.S. real estate - will pour almost half that amount into the market. The lure of high single digit returns and the lack of obvious alternatives are proving hard to resist. Location, property type and CAP prices attained remain the keys for individual investors in this heated environment.
