Real Estate
Coverage
BMI's Real Estate service provides unparalleled analysis of city-specific dynamics in the office, residential, retail and commercial property markets. Our analysts constantly revise and update 44 country reports, providing key industry forecasts and competitive analysis on major developed countries and states accounting for more than 50% of emerging market GDP.
Methodology
The service covers all key country- and city-specific developments affecting the funding and construction of major real estate projects, and the rental cost and yields of property in each city. At the heart of the service are BMI's proprietary 5-year country forecasts. Given the close connections between the real estate and construction and banking sectors, as well as broader macroeconomic performance, our analysis and forecasts are closely integrated with BMI's Country Risk, Commercial Banking and Infrastructure services.
A second unique component of the data service is our country-comparative risk-reward Business Environment Rating. This tool facilitates the critical evaluation of opportunities and operational risk in established and emerging markets, enabling clients to identify and evaluate global investment opportunities.
Our analysis is completed by our portfolio of company profiles, which detail the activity of all major construction and real estate companies, and our proprietary database of real estate rental costs, which has been developed via primary research.
Expertise
BMI's expertise lies in the dynamic combination of industry and country risk. Our proprietary Real Estate forecasting model uses industry-specific and macroeconomic variables on a city and state basis to produce a unique 'bottom-up' model of industry prospects. Furthermore, our risk assessment draws directly on our team of expert country business analysts to ensure that our industry-specific conclusions cohere with our broader country view. Combined with our detailed analysis of company activity and industry trends, the result is a uniquely rich evaluation of the opportunities and risks facing companies globally – total analysis.
