European real estate investments will continue during 2019, with a total of €230bn in transactions expected to continue, according to a new report by Savills. This would make it the sixth consecutive year in which volumes exceeded €200bn. But the report says that not all countries will match the pace of investments enjoyed in previous years. Germany, the UK and France will be attracting most of the investments and Poland could equal or exceed its five-year average this year. But the Czech Republic is likely to fall somewhat short, in comparison to its 5-year average. Across Europe, while excluding European investors, the biggest volume of investment is expected to come this year from the United States, Singapore and South Korea.
Stuart Jordan, Head of Investment, Savills Czech Republic, said that the office sector will continue to be the asset of choice for investors, but that industrial assets will still prove attractive across CEE.
