MIPIM Asia 2010: Keywords redevelopment and sustainability

Wisconsin Real Estate is participating in MIPIM Asia 2010 this week in Hong Kong. In the first day of the conference, keywords that have already emerged are "redevelopment" and "sustainability."

Asia as a whole offers attractive investment opportunities and returns in a global economy still in recovery. Growing urban areas in China and other countries are ripe for redevelopment to meet the needs of the 21st century with an emphasis on green building techniques and "livability."

China remains the primary magnet for capital in the region with second tier cities commanding more attention as top tier cities heat up. Other markets also attracting interest include Vietnam, Singapore and Tokyo.

The U.S. economy has not been a top topic of conversation so far. However Nobel laureate in economics Professor Joseph Stiglitz is due to deliver a morning keynote address on Thursday on his thoughts on the U.S. and global economies and the outlook for recovery.

Wisconsin Real Estate is at the show conducting a survey of conference participants' investment targets and concerns and their opinions on investment prospects over the next 2-3 years. Results of the survey will be presented by Professor Francois Ortalo-Magne at the wrap-up keynote on Friday along with Nick Axford, CBRE Hong Kong.
