Description
Public and private investment in property has been a major feature of the Australian investment landscape over the past three decades. The inception of the Real Estate Investment Trust model was a critical mechanism for opening up property investment opportunities to retail investors in Australia, the US and Europe, and also increasingly in developing countries.
Property investment can now be accessed in myriad ways, ranging from equity and debt structures, and via both public and private offerings. The scale of assets now spans billion dollar building complexes to single residential dwellings.
