Today, investor portal iNVEZZ reported in a news article that representatives from the Danish mortgage industry were going to meet with the government in the hope of preventing a wave of foreclosures likely to happen this year. The article also looks at the property investment conditions in Denmark which in recent years have deteriorated with house prices dropping down to 2005 levels.

In its new article, iNVEZZ reports that the Association of Danish Mortgage Banks and the Mortgage Bankers’ Federation were due to start talks with Business Minister Annette Vilhelmsen with the purpose of finding a solution for borrowers who were likely to be unable to repay their interest-only loans they took out a decade ago, with amortisation requirements kicking in this year.

iNVEZZ notes that borrowers have been struggling with house prices in Denmark declining to 2005 levels. In its article, the investors’ portal quotes data from the Danish Mortgage Bankers’ Federation indicating that house prices in Denmark dropped 2.8 percent on the year in the last quarter of 2012, and lost 2.5 percent from the previous quarter. iNVEZZ also reports that while house prices have declined, apartment prices have climbed, bucking the Danish property investment downtrend. Prices in the Danish capital in particular increased by more than five percent in 2012.

The article then comments on the property investment conditions observed in Sweden and Norway where the respective financial supervisory authorities are considering measures to prevent potential property bubbles in the overheated property markets in the two Nordic countries.

The news article is part of iNVEZZ’s news section, which provides investors with timely updates and information on current developments in the investment world. In addition, the portal features in-depth analyses on topical investment issues providing insights into a range of investment products and markets.

<![CDATA[ Demand for Nakheel Mall Stores Exceeds Supply by Two-to-One, Reports iNVEZZ.com ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/demand-for-nakheel-mall-stores-exceeds-supply-by-two-to-one-reports-invezzcom-c11b529d06a453a4feceb3bda7fe92c3/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/demand-for-nakheel-mall-stores-exceeds-supply-by-two-to-one-reports-invezzcom-c11b529d06a453a4feceb3bda7fe92c3/ Tuesday 19 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com has recently published an article headlined “Demand for Nakheel Mall Stores Exceeds Supply by 2-to-1”,which is covering an announcement made by leading Dubai property developer Nakheel. Citing regional media, the investment portal informs that since the development of Nakheel Mall was announced last month, the company has received lease applications from local and international retailers that already exceed the total number of spots available at the retail complex by two-to-one.

iNVEZZ.com cited a senior company official, who disclosed that Nakheel is currently reviewing 420 lease applications from retailers, which is more than double the number of spots available at the development. Reportedly, adding to the mix of established local and international brands, prospective tenants at Nakheel Mall also include new brands from
Singapore and Europe looking to enter the Dubai property market for the first time.

The investment portal further reports that Nakheel is now studying the "rental grid” of the mall. The developer has hired a third-party company to recommend lease rates for the stores at the Dh2.5 billion (£449 million) mall.

The iNVEZZ journo also reveals some details of Nakheel’s project and the company’s growth strategy. According to a company statement issued in February, the retail segment of the Dubai property market is one of the most promising in terms of growth. iNVEZZ.com also provided the most likely motive for the company to focus on this part of the real estate market, saying Nakheel saw its retail income rising 25 percent last year.

The iNVEZZ.com news item concluded with the opinion of a senior representative of the Dubai property developer who had described the emirate’s retail real estate market as “alive and kicking.”

<![CDATA[ Milestone Apartments REIT Completes IPO, Says iNVEZZ.com ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/milestone-apartments-reit-completes-ipo-says-invezzcom-1bc72ce77c8a45cf6699ef298df445ed/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/milestone-apartments-reit-completes-ipo-says-invezzcom-1bc72ce77c8a45cf6699ef298df445ed/ Friday 15 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com, the investor’s portal, today reported than Milestone Apartments REIT has managed to raise C$200 million through an initial public offering of 20 million units. The IPO was underwritten by a syndicate co-led by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and the Toronto-based financial service provider BMO Capital Markets, iNVEZZ.com says. According to the article, the REIT has granted the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable any time up to 30 days following the sale, to buy an additional three million units at the offering price.

The money raised through the IPO was used for the acquisition of an undisclosed interest in Milestone Multifamily Investors from MileSouth Apartment Portfolio, the website says.

Another accent of the article is the recent announcement, made by a Safeway executive, that the American supermarket owner is considering forming a REIT from its Canadian real estate assets. The American grocer has already considered a similar treatment for its property assets in the US, but abandoned the idea after deciding that the assets aren’t suitable for a REIT conversion, the website explains.

The article also covers the upcoming acquisition of Cole Holdings by Cole Credit Property Trust III (CCPTIII), one of the real estate investment trusts it sponsors. The combined equity will seek floatation at the New York Stock Exchange, iNVEZZ.com says. The website quotes Leonard Wood, chairman of a special committee of CCPTIII’s board, who said in a statement that the trust will be able to increase its dividend payout and intends to pursue the listing aiming to achieve greater liquidity and superior access to the capital markets.

Finally the article informs about a surge in the share price of Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust debuting on the Singapore Stock Exchange. It further elaborates that the successful debut of the newly-listed REIT suggests higher returns compared to those seen on average from Singapore-listed REITs.

iNVEZZ.com, an investor portal,has published a new commentary focusing on the February performance of several key Liv-ex fine wine indices, which suggests a revived interest in investing in wine this year. The article is part of iNVEZZ’s alternative investment news section which provides investors with timely updates and information about non-traditional investment products.

Today, iNVEZZ.com, a portal for investors, released a new article commenting on the February performance of several key indices of the London-based Liv-ex fine wine exchange. The observed gains in the indices point to a growing interest in investing in wine in 2013, which comes after last year’s fine wine market decline.

In its article, iNVEZZ quotes data by the London-based Liv-ex fine wine exchange as showing that the Liv-ex fine wine 100 index, the industry’s leading benchmark, posted a 3.1 percent advance in February. iNVEZZ also comments on the performance of several other Liv-ex indices, such as the Bordeaux 500, which rose 3.1 percent in February.

iNVEZZ then comments on some of the February fine wine market trends, such as the observed demand for Burgundy wines, with those interested in investing in wine looking for alternatives to some heavily-traded clarets. iNVEZZ points out the notable performance of certain Burgundies at February auctions, such as Sotheby’s auction in London where a case of white Montrachet 1993 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti fetched the top price. iNVEZZ however notes that the end of the month saw a growing interest in 2010 clarets in anticipation of the scores of the famous fine wine critic Robert Parker.

In its article, iNVEZZ notes that while it remains to be seen whether the observed interest in investing in wine would continue in March as well, the market has already seen some record claret prices.In addition, iNVEZZ points out that Burgundies are also likely to attract investor attention with a couple of upcoming auctions featuring top Burgundy wines.

The new commentary can be found on iNVEZZ’s news section on alternative investments, presenting investors with timely updates of current affairs in the investment world. The investor portal however also features in-depth analysis on topical investment issues and insights into mainstream investment products and markets.

<![CDATA[ iNVEZZ.com Reports: Israeli Billionaire Launches European Property Investment Venture ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-israeli-billionaire-launches-european-property-investment-venture-fd6eca8e5af336377a3f4c46e9563596/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-israeli-billionaire-launches-european-property-investment-venture-fd6eca8e5af336377a3f4c46e9563596/ Wednesday 13 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com recently published a news item, headed “Israeli Billionaire Beny Steinmetz Prepares $2bn Property Investment”, covering the news of the latest effort by a wealthy investor to cash in on the funding difficulties facing Europe’s governments and companies. The UK-focused investment portal reported that one of Israel's wealthiest men and diamond mining entrepreneur, Beny Steinmetz, has launched a $2 billion(£1.3 billion) London-based property investment business,which will target distressed European real estate assets.

As the news item remarks, Steinmetz’s property investment venture was set up on 4 March 2013 under the name Invel Real
Estate. The company will operate as a subsidiary of the Israeli businessman’s Beny Steinmetz Group (BSG), a privately owned conglomerate with diamond, gold and nickel mines. iNVEZZ’s article further revealed information regarding the Israeli billionaire’s choice of management. Reportedly, Steinmetz has hired the former global head of Deutsche Bank’s RREEF opportunistic investment business, Chris Papachristophorou. Citing the newly-appointed head of Invel Real Estate, the iNVEZZ journo covering the news writes:“unlike traditional closed and co-mingled private equity funds, Invel Real Estate will provide seed capital for deals and will seek to work with co-investors on each transaction.”

After further explaining the property investment platform’s strategy, the iNVEZZ reporter narrows the readers attention to the wider trend of wealthy investors pouring capital into Europe’s real estate market, and more specifically, at the trend of investors and asset managers purchasing distressed properties in need of restructuring or redevelopment as a way to tap into the consequences of the continent’s recent recession. The investment portal journo writes that with the increasing number of banks selling off distressed paper to generate capital, interest amongst investors seeking expansion of their presence in Europe and an increase of their property investment portfolios has spiked over the past two years. The iNVEZZ.com article concludes this trend overview with a final reference to Steinmetz’s latest business venture as an example of the increasing interest in Europe's distraught properties.

<![CDATA[ CommonWealth REIT Raises $570 million In An Equity Offering, Says iNVEZZ.com ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/commonwealth-reit-raises-570-million-in-an-equity-offering-says-invezzcom-7e610bb90600463dbfcecbd64d84ae96/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/commonwealth-reit-raises-570-million-in-an-equity-offering-says-invezzcom-7e610bb90600463dbfcecbd64d84ae96/ Friday 8 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com, an investor-focused online portal, today published a news item on the latest developments in the REIT scene. The article is entitled “REIT Deals Watch: CommonWealth Ignores Beefed Up Acquisition Bid” and focuses primarily on the recent equity offering by CommonWealth REIT, put up in the face of an amended takeover offer from activist investors Keith Meister and Jeff Blau. Other REITs included in the news item were InnVest REIT and Campus Crest Communities.

iNVEZZ.com, the investor’s portal, in its daily REIT coverage today reported that CommonWealth REIT had raised $570 million, selling 30 million shares on Wednesday at a price of $19 per share. According to the portal, the selling price represented a 20 percent discount on Wednesday’s closing price. iNVEZZ.com said that the REIT proceeded with the planned equity offering despite receiving an unwelcome takeover bid of $27 per share.

The offer came jointly from Corvex Management, a hedge fund controlled by Keith Meister, and real estate developer Related Cos and was an improvement of $2 on the $25 a share they had previously offered. But the REIT ignored the sweetener and pressed ahead with the share placement. Analysts observed that CommonWealth’s external advisor,REIT Management & Research,had had a major influence on the decision to reject the buyout bid.

CommonWealth’s stock fell 7.75 percent in Wednesday’s regular trading and extended its fall by another 6.18 percent to $21.12 after hours, iNVEZZ reported.

The news item also reports on the announcement by American real estate trust Campus Crest Communities of plans to buy a 48 percent stakein Copper Beech Townhome Communities for $262 million, with anoption to acquire the balance until mid-2016.

The REIT also said that it will issue 22.2 million new shares, with an overallotment option of a further 3.3 million, iNVEZZ reports. According to the portal, the trust plans to use the subscriptions (an estimated $312 million) to help fund its acquisition plans.

<![CDATA[ Dubai Property Market Stands Tall, Says iNVEZZ in a New Article ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/dubai-property-market-stands-tall-says-invezz-in-a-new-article-7f4006b55ccc6705b6eaff1f71d5652f/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/dubai-property-market-stands-tall-says-invezz-in-a-new-article-7f4006b55ccc6705b6eaff1f71d5652f/ Friday 8 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com has today published an item covering Dubai’s leading position in global tall building construction. The article, headed “Dubai Stands Tall – Home To Six of World’s Seven Highest Hotels”, reports on the current ranking of the world’s highest all-hotel towers compiled by The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). According to the investment portal, citing the CTBUH database (http://skyscrapercenter.com/List/tallest-hotel-100-buildings), Dubai hosts six of seven hotels featured on the list.

As noted by the iNVEZZ journo covering the news, “The Dubai property market continues to lead in global tall building construction, despite the significant drop-off in development after the economic slowdown and attendant property slump in 2008.” The six Dubai hotels in the top-10 list of the world’s highest all-hotel towers are JW Marriott Marquis, Rose Rayhaan by Rotana, Burj Al Arab, Emirates Tower Two, Khalid Al Attar Tower 2 and JAL Tower . In addition to these existing buildings, as iNVEZZ reports, there is the increasing interest in reviving previously-stalled projects and developing new sites which further evidences a revival of interest in Dubai real estate development. The investment portal quoted Ashok Korgaonkar, managing partner of Dubai-based Archgroup Consultants, who like many fellow architects has observed a recent increase in requests for towering hotel designs. iNVEZZ further cited the observation of property consultants of a recent rise in interest from developers seeking “to benefit from the Dubai property market rebound and rising room rates in the emirate.”

The news item reported that with expectations of room rates in the city-state reaching up to Dh3,673 (£659) per night, real estate developers are reviving projects which have been stalled since the Dubai property market crash more than four years ago. iNVEZZ further pointed to the largest and most significant hospitality projects currently under development in the emirate, amongst which are Al Habtoor Group’s Sofitel hotel and that construction company’s second cluster of hotels on the site of the old Metropolitan hotel, demolished last year. Other hotels under way include a hotel in the Dh2.5 billion (£448 million) retail and recreation facility on the Palm Jumeirah artificial island, being developed by the Dubai-based developer Nakheel.

<![CDATA[ iNVEZZ.com Reports: Ireland’s NAMA Sets Up Dublin DocklandsProperty Investment Programme ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-irelands-nama-sets-up-dublin-docklandsproperty-investment-programme-9fd7178c4a342d82e9659fa0712de87e/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-irelands-nama-sets-up-dublin-docklandsproperty-investment-programme-9fd7178c4a342d82e9659fa0712de87e/ Friday 8 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com has recently reported on Ireland’s National Asset Management Agency’s (NAMA) plans to make “significant investments” in property developments. The projects will be primarily located in the Dublin Docklands area and will be
focused on providing additional office space to meet growing commercial property demand.

Investor portal iNVEZZ.com recently published a news item, headed “Ireland’s National Asset Management Agency Sets Up €2bn Property Investment Plan”, covering a report by the agency on its plans to make “significant investments” in infrastructure, residential and commercial property developments in the Dublin Docklands area.

The UK-focused investment portal cited a statement made last week by NAMA’s chairman, Frank Daly, which revealed that the agency had set up a €2 billion (£1.75 billion) property investment programme in response to the growing demand from foreign direct investors. As noted by iNVEZZ, the initiative will mainly include commercial property developments in Dublin Docklands, designed to assist the expansion of the area’s financial services sector which, according toDaly, is gathering pace with major international banks and technology companies already accommodated in the district.

The iNVEZZ report further advises that“the property investment programme will primarily address the current shortage of large-scale, high-quality office accommodation in Dublin Docklands”,though residential developments are also being evaluated. The news item continues: “Daly welcomed in this regard the decision by the Minister for the Environment Phil Hogan to designate part of the Docklands area as a Strategic Development Zone.”

According to the iNVEZZ item, NAMA has to date completed asset disposals of €7 billion (£6.16 billion) and is close to completing a further €2 billion. The agency is currently overseeing sales of €1.5 billion (£1.32 billion) worth of property in Ireland through its debtors and receivers. The investor portal further noted that the NAMA is also managing the sales of Irish loan portfolios of more than €1.1 billion(£968 million).

The investor portal’s news item concluded with NAMA chairman Daly’s upbeat outlook for the Irish property market, which as iNVEZZ.com has previously reported (Irish Property Market Shows Signs of Stabilising) is showing signs of stabilising after the collapseof the property bubble in 2008.

<![CDATA[ iNVEZZ.com Reports: Emaar Records Strong Indian Interest in Dubai Property Developments ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-emaar-records-strong-indian-interest-in-dubai-property-developments-f68f80ddc5aea4abe00dd57d7c773870/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/invezzcom-reports-emaar-records-strong-indian-interest-in-dubai-property-developments-f68f80ddc5aea4abe00dd57d7c773870/ Friday 1 March, 2013
iNVEZZ.com recently reported on the response received by Dubai’s Emaar Properties during its two-day property road show in Mumbai. As noted by the investment portal, the real estate company witnessed strong Indian investor interest in its Dubai property developments.

iNVEZZ.com has published a news item, headed “Indian Investors Look to Dubai Property”, covering a report by Dubai-based real estate developer Emaar Properties (DFM:EMAAR)on the company’s two-day roadshow in India.

As reported by the investor portal, Emaar revealed that it received overwhelming investor interest in its current range of Dubai property developments, including Downtown Dubai, The Address, The Address Residence Fountain Views I and II, Standpoint, The BLVD, CASA villas, and Panorama at The Views in Emirates Living. The residential and commercial property projects showcased during the sales event, held on February 17-18, triggered hundreds of visits and queries from potential customers.

As for the reasons for such keen interest from Indian investors in Dubai property developments, iNVEZZ cited Emaar’s managing director Ahmad Al Matrooshi who stated that the large Indian expatriate population in Dubai sees the city as a second home, with this viewpoint “building on Dubai’s appeal as the region’s fastest-growing shopping, tourism and business hub.”

In its piece, iNVEZZ also provided its readers with official figures which demonstrate India’s general interest in the Dubai property market. According to a Dubai Land Department report, of the Dh 36 billion (£6.3 billion) invested by foreign investors in the city’s property sector in 2012, some 25 per cent -- valued at Dh 9 billion (£1.5 billion) --came from Indian nationals.

Referencing a previously published news item on its website, iNVEZZ highlighted the recent signs of recovery in the Dubai property market, four years after the global financial crisis hit the sector. iNVEZZ noted that, as one of the UAE’s leading real estate developers,Emaar has benefited from the rebound, seeing its share price steadily rising on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) during the past year. The iNVEZZ news item concluded with the latest stock market data for Emaar Properties.

<![CDATA[ International Competition Draws Attention to Investing in Wine Down Under, says Investment Portal iNVEZZ.com ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/international-competition-draws-attention-to-investing-in-wine-down-under-says-investment-portal-invezzcom-d11f1eaa4b6677a31af224f117271263/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/international-competition-draws-attention-to-investing-in-wine-down-under-says-investment-portal-invezzcom-d11f1eaa4b6677a31af224f117271263/ Tuesday 12 February, 2013
Investor portal iNVEZZ.com has published a new article focusing on Australian wines as an alternative to other more traditional choices for those interested in investing in wine. The item has been uploaded to the portal’s news section on alternative investments which provides investors with timely news and information on non-traditional investment products.

iNVEZZ, a new investment portal, today published a news item on the dominant performance of Australian wines at a recent international wine competition, with their success likely to spur the interest of investors looking at investing in wine as an alternative to mainstream investment products.

The iNVEZZ news item reports on the inaugural Decanter Asian Wine Awards (DAWA) competition recently held in Hong Kong, noting that Australia was the best performing country. Australian wines took the top prize in several key categories and in the process beat wines from France and California. iNVEZZ further notes in the article that Australia had the largest number of entries in the competition.

As well as focusing on Australia’s performance in the Hong Kong wine competition, iNVEZZ looks at some of the more notable non-Australian winners, and particularly French wines, traditionally of interest to those investing in wine .

The iNVEZZ news article then provides more information on the competition itself, in particular that one purpose of the organiser, Decanter magazine, was to discover whether there are specific wine preferences for Asian consumers. The majority of the judges were from Asia and, although all wines commercially available internationally were eligible, priority was given to those already present on the Asian market. In the article iNVEZZ opined that, the Asian focus of the competition notwithstanding, the results were likely to bring Australia to the attention of investors thinking of investing in wine, especially given the continent’s victory in key categories.

The article can be found in the news section of iNVEZZ, the investor’s portal, whose function is to present investors with timely news and information on current happenings in the investment world. In addition to news, iNVEZZ also provides indepth analysis on topical investment issues, providing insights into mainstream investment products and markets.
