Konstantinos Gatis will be talking about Key trends and challenges of the greek real estate market
During the last years, the residential market has gradually emerged as an equal investment choice to the commercial market, for corporate investors. However, the lack of affordable housing is more and more acute in the main urban centres. The “physital” concept repositions the traditional stores in the retailers’ strategy. Nowadays, convenience stores are the more booming retail submarket. Due to the strong investors’ demand, prime office yields are at a constant downward trend. Significant reordering of the Athenian office market is anticipated in the next few years. Spillovers of the logistics market in Attica to regional markets are recorded. Despite the many alternatives to investing in logistics, no dominant strategy currently emerges. Developing luxurious residences are becoming a trend in large scale leisure projects. The hotel pipeline is constantly focused on the main tourist markets (Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and Attica).
