Top US developers, brokers and investors take on China
Better get good at offering business cards with both hands. Judging from the crowds at The Real Deal’s second annual U.S. Real Estate Showcase & Forum in Shanghai, a new wave of Chinese investment is heading to our shores.
Thousands of real estate professionals from New York, Miami, Los Angeles and other major U.S. markets hobnobbed with Chinese investors, homebuyers, wealth managers and brokers at the event, held at the Jing An Shangri-La in Shanghai’s premier business district from Nov. 17-19. More than 40 exhibitors showcased the latest U.S. projects and services, and over the course of eight panels and workshops, attendees learned about the overall real estate investment environment in the U.S., the fate of the EB-5 visa program, buying and maintaining U.S. properties and the development landscape.
