Panel IV -- Global Trends in Real Estate Investments- Real estate has historically been seen as a local phenomenon; however, more recently, interest in the U.S. real estate market from global investors has risen, as has U.S. investors' interest in global investments. This panel will discuss the globalization of the real estate industry, particularly in light of recent market trends.

Where are the best opportunities for capital appreciation? What are the trends in global capital raising and overseas real estate investments?
