European metropolitan commercial real estate markets

Abstract

Includes index. Metropolitan commercial real estate markets are highly influenced by global forces, the regionaleconomy, and institutional behaviour. While descriptions of regional commercial real estate markets are well known and widespread in academic literature, this monograph goes beyond that in explaining the dynamics in and variations between European metropolitan markets. By comparing those markets on relevant indicators and through extensive data analysis, a number of explaining factors is revealed. Contributions on specific metropolitan markets with different positions within the real estate cycle illustrate not only the characteristics of the local economy and its institutions, but also urgent issues such as battling vacancy, changing retail hierarchy or managing obsolescence. 1 Introduction -- 2 Institutional Difference in European Metropolitan Commercial Real Estate Markets -- 3 Financial Markets in London Metropolitan Commercial Real Estate -- 4 Building Activities in Barcelona and Madrid Metropolitan Areas -- 5 Land Policy and Vacancies in the Metropolitan AmsterdamOffice Market -- 6 Ten Year Belgium Office and Retail Markets with a Digression on Vacancy Modelling -- 7 On Urban Hierarchy in the Budapest Metropolitan Area -- 8 Rent Gradient in Germany's Metropolitan Commercial Real Estate Markets -- 9 Urban Renewal in Warsaw's Commercial Real Estate Market -- 10 Booms and Busts in Prague's Commercial Real Estate Market -- 11 Geopolitical Change in Vienna's Real Estate Market -- 12 Dynamics of Intra Urban Hierarchy in Istanbul's Metropolitan Area -- Index.
